Being in Carmen’s circle is a gift that keeps on giving! You will surely receive what you expected and more when you work with her in any capacity.
Brianna C. Dawson, MSN, CRNP, PMHNP-BC
Carmen provides value inside and outside of her courses that are invaluable and I almost forgot about the amazing clinical courses she offers—I have taken several. Carmen knows what entrepreneurs need to help take their business to the next level. She is genuine, down to earth, and an open book when you work with her. I truly value her transparency and authenticity.
The Business Academy is the blueprint that I needed to take my business to the next level. Carmen and the ladies in her program prove to me every day that I can have anything I want in my business and more.
I can confidently say that having a business coach who specializes in private practice is an absolute game changer!
Jennifer Bluntzer, NP
Although new to private practice, I have a ton of experience in business and was unsure what value coaching could bring. Not all business experience translates into our niche practice environment and having someone support your specific goals and bounce ideas off of will help not only your practice, but your mindset.
Carmen has a no-nonsense approach and will tell you what you need to do, regardless if it is what you want to hear. She is a wealth of knowledge and an icon in the niche private practice work and it has been an honor to work with her!
I can’t say enough about Carmen and The Advanced Practice. The Academy community you’ve created is absolutely invaluable!
Annie August NP
What I thought started as a clinical mentorship has evolved into an all-encompassing resource for building my practice. Carmen you just keeping pouring in so much—everything from business strategy, marketing, and sales to funnel building, email strategy, and social media-the value just keeps growing. If you’re looking for guidance that goes above and beyond, this is it!
Carmen helped me understand the power of automation for nurturing potential and new clients.
Aleasha Elliott, FNP-C
I’ve always admired how businesses seem to "magically" connect with people at the right time, but I never knew where to begin. Now, I have systems in place that make this possible, and it’s a game-changer for both my efficiency and client experience.
She has pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way. Whenever something felt intimidating or out of reach, it became a challenge I was determined to overcome. Her guidance gave me the confidence and tools to do so.
"The value of the information that I obtained goes far beyond my investment. I will continue to implement the knowledge gained and I'm excited about what my future holds!"
- DASHAUNA FRANKLIN, AGNP THE AESTHETICS & WELLNESS LAB
"Carmen presented methods to continue growth within our practice but also opportunities outside of one to one patient care. I never considered that I could generate revenue as a nurse practitioner outside of directly treating patients!"
"For anyone considering working with a business coach to elevate their private practice, I can't emphasize enough the value of mentorship in gaining clarity and direction."
- SARA BENNETT, FNP @ ORIGINS FERTILITY
"Carmen’s strategies provided actionable insights and a framework that transformed how I view and operate my business. Her holistic approach helped me envision a broader scope of possibilities, from diversifying income streams to optimizing operations/automating as much as possible. Her hands-on support through regular check-ins and problem-solving sessions instilled a level of confidence and resilience that I carry into every business decision."
The answer to more support, guidance, and direction in order to lead the business you’ve always dreamed about. For six months together, Carmen will train you on her signature, four-part framework to an advanced practice.

"Carmen is an incredibly
knowledgeable resource and I’m so grateful to have found her! She’s given me invaluable information to help start my own practice that I would not have found elsewhere or would have taken me years to figure out on my own. It’s reassuring to know that I have such a highly experienced NP on my side as I go out on my own."
I knew working with a business coach was a necessity. I don’t have a business background, and while I had a clear vision for the kind of practice I wanted to build, I had no idea how to get there. What I appreciated most about The Advanced Practice was how concrete and actionable the information was. There was no fluff, no abstract concepts that didn’t apply to my business — everything was relevant, practical, and clearly based on years of real-world experience.
It made it possible for me to open my doors in just 4 months, which still feels incredible to say out loud. I’ve only ever worked in a fee-for-service model, which absolutely contributed to my burnout. I didn’t have experience with package or membership-based models, and honestly, I was a little skeptical at first. But through our coaching sessions, I came to understand how valuable these models are — not just for me (in preventing burnout, increasing revenue, and allowing me to practice the way I want), but for my patients too, offering more time, individualized care, and better access.
Once I launched, Carmen helped me refine my packages even further, and with just two small changes, my average revenue per package jumped from $1,500 to $2,800. That kind of hands-on, actionable guidance has been absolutely invaluable.
"I am a CNM, and I re-entered into practice after seven years of being home with my kids. I opened a solo practice and set out to find my people. Carmen and her group at The Advanced Practice was the place I needed. I was met with clinical guidance and support, business guidance, including how to forge a brand, and how to stake authority in our field. Carmen is always available, never makes me feel like my questions are foolish, and is an expert in the field of HRT and holistic women’s healthcare."

"Carmen's unique approach to solo practice was exactly what I was looking for.
She helps me articulate the high value that I'm providing as a cash based practitioner, and gives me not only the confidence but the framework to making high ticket sales. I wish I had her guidance 10 years ago when I was starting my solo practice because I would have saved myself SO much money by learning how to articulate my worth and make the money I needed to make. Just implementing a few of her tips into my already established practice has resulted in an easier sales process and clearer path for patients to receive continued care!
$50k Months!
Dr Caitlin Fanning, ND
"I had been eyeing Carmen's programs for a while...
Her emails were speaking directly to me. I made my investment back in the first couple weeks of launching my new model. Fast forward 4 months and I've hit my first $50K month and my weekly patient load has been slashed to 1/3 of what it was before (at least!). It's been a lot of hard work, but I feel like I'm finally getting to a place where I can work on my business and not just in it thanks to the tools and concepts she has taught me.
She has opened up a whole new world for me and I can tell this is only the beginning. Not to mention my referral rate has at least doubled since following her model. Clients are happier and I'm getting paid. Carmen is amazing, down to earth, and truly cares about helping practice owners provide exceptional care and get paid for it.
Paige Helmer, CNM
"When asked about my initial goals and how they've evolved through coaching, I have to share how transformative it has been...
I came to Carmen looking to grow my wellness practice, but she immediately helped me see a much bigger vision. What struck me most was her ability to not only understand my unique position as an OBGYN in the wellness space but to help me articulate it in ways that position me to win. She has shown me possibilities I hadn't even considered.
