A Healing Practice That Works Everywhere

The Challenge

The practitioner came to the project with an existing WordPress website that had become more of a liability than an asset. Updating text, swapping out services, or making even minor formatting changes carried real risk — the kind of site where touching one thing could quietly break another. As a result, the website had started to lag behind her actual practice: outdated information, unclear structure, and a service offering that had grown well beyond what the site could meaningfully communicate.

The deeper problem was one of navigation. She had an extensive range of healing modalities and session types, but the site gave visitors no real guidance. Someone arriving with chronic anxiety landed in the same undifferentiated list as someone who already knew they wanted a specific session. There was no intelligent path — just options.

Energy healing also presents a unique copy challenge on its own: the work is real and the results are well-documented, but a first-time visitor needs patient, clear language before they'll ever hit "book." A confusing structure on top of that made the barrier even higher.

The Solution

We approached this as an Interview-First Build. Rather than handing over a questionnaire and waiting for copy to arrive, I sat down with the practitioner in a deep-dive conversation — asking the questions her ideal clients would ask, and drawing out the language, warmth, and clarity she already had. The copy was then written entirely from that interview.

• A Platform She Could Actually Use: Moving to Squarespace immediately solved the maintenance anxiety. She can now update her services, adjust her copy, and manage her own site without the fear of breaking something. The backend is as intuitive as the frontend is polished.

• Finding the Voice: The practitioner had an exceptional ability to explain complex energy concepts in grounded, accessible terms. The interview process captured that voice, and the copy on every page reflects it .

• Symptom-Led Navigation: Given the breadth of her offerings, we built the service structure around how visitors actually arrive — not what they want to book, but how they feel and what they're struggling with. The practitioner's expertise guides visitors toward the right session based on their symptoms and situation. For clients who already know exactly what they want, a clear à la carte menu runs alongside — so no one is forced through a funnel they don't need.

• Serving Two Audiences at Once: Local clients needed to feel the warmth and accessibility of in-person care. Remote clients needed to understand that distance doesn't diminish the work. Both messages live naturally on the same site without it ever feeling split or generic.

• Trust Architecture: Credentials and certifications lead early, modality explanations are clear and jargon-free, social proof is placed strategically, and a no-pressure clarity call is woven throughout as a soft first "yes."

Key Highlights

• WordPress to Squarespace Migration: Replaced a fragile, hard-to-maintain WordPress site with a Squarespace build the practitioner can confidently manage herself.

• Interview-Written Copy: Every word on the site was drawn from a structured client interview and written by me. The practitioner never had to face a blank page.

• Symptom-Led Service Structure: Visitors are guided toward the right session based on what they're experiencing — with à la carte options available for those who already know what they need.

• Dual-Market Positioning: The site speaks naturally to both local in-person clientele and remote clients worldwide without sacrificing clarity for either audience.

• Trust-First Architecture: FAQ content, testimonials, credentials, and modality breakdowns are placed to warm leads and answer objections before a booking is even considered.

• Low-Barrier Entry Point: A free short clarity call is positioned throughout the site as the first step — making it easy for hesitant visitors to begin.

The Results

The practitioner now has a digital home that finally matches the quality of work she was already doing — and one she can keep current without needing a developer on standby.

The website removes the friction that had previously stood between a curious visitor and a booked session. It explains the unexplainable in plain language, earns trust early, and guides both local and remote clients confidently toward the right next step — whether they arrive knowing exactly what they want, or just knowing that something needs to change.

Why This Matters for Your Practice

If you're a healer, practitioner, or wellness professional whose website has become something you avoid rather than something you're proud of — this project is for you.

The biggest thing standing between your potential clients and your services isn't your credentials. It's clarity. This project shows what's possible when strategy, copy, and design are treated as one connected thing — built together, from the first conversation.
