In this testimonial, Ariel, a pelvic floor physical therapist, shares how Kelly's CAP program helped her transition from a burned‑out staff PT to a confident private‑practice owner. She highlights concrete business‑startup guidance—including forming an entity, choosing a bank and credit card—along with strategies for acquiring the first patients through workshops, creative networking, and marketing ideas she hadn’t considered. Kelly also coached Ariel on key operational timing decisions such as when to rent a space, quit a job, or hire staff, and provided objection‑management training, phone‑script tactics, and hands‑on help editing her website and Instagram. The program offered regular accountability, boosting Ariel’s confidence and motivation, while the group community gave peer support from members at various stages of their practices.

Hi, my name is Ariel. I'm a pelvic floor physical therapist, and I did Kelly's CAP program, and I think it's really helpful. I think it's really good. In the early stages of figuring out how do I start this business? Like, how do I create this entity? What bank do I use? What credit card do I use? How do I get my first patients? How do I do a workshop? She gives really good, concrete ideas for workshops. Super creative networking and marketing ideas that I would have never felt confident enough to do and never had the ideas to do. I think she really helps you figure out how to grow. When do you rent a space? When do you quit your job? When do you hire somebody? She really trained me for objection management. And, okay, how do I answer the phone? What if someone says this? What do I do in this situation? She can help you edit your website and what is going. I mean, she helped me with my Instagram. All the things of starting a business and business in the early days. It was very helpful. It's really nice to have accountability. If someone's saying, what are you doing today? What are you doing this week? How are we pushing you forward? I totally needed that. She gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of encouragement, which I really needed. And then it's nice having other people that are kind of in the same phase in life and business, like, talk to you and help you answer what they're doing, what's working for them. And it's also nice that there are people in the group that are further along so they can say, well, this worked for me, or this didn't work for me. So I liked the program.
