How This SLP Mom Doubled Her Client Goal and Took Fridays Off with Katie LaVoi

Private Practice Success Stories

If you want a flexible schedule that works with your family’s needs and doesn’t leave you feeling constantly behind, this episode has the answers! My guest’s private practice gives her the freedom to build her career around her family, and not the other way around!

Joining me today is Katie LaVoi, SLP and owner of As We Speak, her private practice located in O’Fallon, Missouri. Katie joined the Start Your Private Practice Program after juggling family life and the rigid school schedule at work became too much for her.

After doubling her client goal by the end of summer, Katie was able to leave her job at the school and pursue sustainable growth at her practice full-time. She continued through the Grow Program and has built a career she loves!

In this episode, Katie shares how she was able to build her private practice one step at a time (even with three kids!) and gain flexibility, balance, and fulfillment at home and at work.

Katie LaVoi is a speech language pathologist with 12 years of experience working in pediatrics. While most of her career was spent as a public school SLP, she recently opened her own mobile private practice, As We Speak. As We Speak provides speech and language therapy services to children, ages 18 months to 18 years. Katie is a busy mother to three active, young children, ages 8, 5, and 3. Her desire to open a private practice was fueled by the freedom to schedule based on her own family needs and priorities.

In Today's Episode, We Discuss:

• How Katie shifted her career plans as her family grew
• Getting started with the Start Program between school years
• Using organic marketing to boost her client load
• What her schedule looks like and how it helps her stay balanced with work and home life
