124 | Pricing by the Client's Hourly Rate: A Sliding-Scale Variant

I'm sharing a pricing concept I picked up from the Death, Sex, and Money podcast that struck me as interesting/useful. Here's what I cover: Pricing by your client's hourly rate. Instead of a traditional sliding scale, what about pricing consults as a multiple of what your client earns per hour (e.g., one hour or two hours of their pay)? For many people, this feels more intuitive and equitable than a fixed dollar amount, and it reframes the exchange as commerce rather than capitalism. The righ

123 | Why Ovulation Matters with Liane Moccia

I'm joined in this episode by my colleague and co-teacher, registered herbalist and fertility specialist Liane Moccia, to talk more about the responses to the question, "Are you ovulating?" We cover what signs to look for, how to interpret tracking data (cervical fluid, LH strips, temperature), and why ovulation is a vital marker of hormonal and overall health even when someone isn’t trying to conceive. We also discuss practical intake phrasing, common misunderstandings, and introduce our Mens

121 | Is your business "hungry" for that course?

A Mindful Eating Metaphor It might help to think about this in terms of mindful eating. When you feel the urge to sign up for something, stop and ask: is my practice actually hungry for this? If you've decided newsletters are your main marketing focus and you're specifically hunting for newsletter training - amazing. Dive in. If you're just responding to a sale email, a fear of missing out, or a vague sense that you "should" know more? Take a step back. You might find the urge is actually abo

120 | Substack for Clinicians: Why I don't recommend it

I've gotten several questions lately about whether or not I recommend Substack to clinicians who want to start a newsletter to help promote their clinical practices. TLDR: it's not the best tool for the job. In this episode, I spell out why I don't think herbalists and nutritionists are well-served by using Substack as a way to promote a private practice. Essentially, it all boils down to: It's not designed for promoting services, classes, workshops, etc. and it shows. It's free, which is gr

119 | Why I changed my mind about freebies

A behind-the-scenes update on a change I've been making at Bloom & Grow: after years of offering my freebies as open downloads, I'm now requiring an email address to access them. I wanted to share my full (evolving) thinking in case it gives you permission to change your mind on something in your own practice.

About the Host

Camille Freeman Profile Photo
Camille Freeman

herbalist | nutritionist | business mentor

Camille Freeman, RH, DCN, has been working with clients as a clinical herbalist and nutritionist since 2003, with a focus on fertility, pregnancy, and menstrual health. Her clinical work is guided by her background in physiology, along with a belief in the power of incremental change: starting small, listening closely, and helping clients make changes that actually last.

A teacher at heart, Camille spent nearly 17 years teaching physiology and pathophysiology at the Maryland University of Integrative Health before leaving her full-time position there to devote more time to Bloom and Grow. One of her strengths is breaking down complex concepts into clear, practical points that clinicians can actually use. She now brings that same approach to Monday Mentoring, her community of practice for herbalists and nutritionists, as well as her continuing-education programs, like this Deep Dive.   

Camille holds a doctorate in clinical nutrition from MUIH (now part of Notre Dame of Maryland), along with master’s degrees in herbal medicine (MUIH) and physiology (Georgetown University). She is the author of Write Better Newsletters: Grow Your 1:1 Practice with Emails People Actually Want to Read.
