Shadow training with Nadia Hughes

The client intake process is a chance for you to introduce your potential client to your business, ask the questions you need to better understand their situation, as well as determine if they are properly motivated to put in the work needed for a successful outcome of the treatment plan you will create.

A consultation takes between 60-90 minutes. During the consultation you will go through their full medical history and discuss every aspect of their lifestyle because the condition of your hair can tell a lot about your lifestyle. You will have an in depth discussion about their diet, activity levels, sources of stress and stress levels, what medications and supplements they are taking, and and what are the issues they are having with their hair and scalp.

The right client intake questions will help determine whether the client is a good fit for your business. You want to make sure your potential client knows you understand their situation and needs. This first interaction sets the tone for the entire Trichologist - client relationship.

Before beginning any treatments you need to enter into a formal and legally binding agreement between you and the client. This contract should be used to insure timely payment, set expectations for you and the client. For you to be successful the client must follow the recommendations you provide, this will help protect your reputation and your business.

Learn to read and understand a blood chemistry analysis, this is an important component of creating your protocol for your clients.

The term "personalized medicine” means medical care is based on your genes and your

specific disease, it’s not a one size fits all approach. Genes are the information that tells the cells in your body how to grow and develop.

It’s important that the agreement made between you (the trichologist) and your client will be followed through and completed for the betterment of your client. You will create a plan based on the blood chemistry analysis and the information your client provides. You will gain hands on experience on how to execute that plan and be successful in helping your client regrow their hair.

Learn about all of the tools and therapies I use and what is the best use case for each of them. You will also learn how to determine who can benefit the most from them to better assist the client in their hair growth journey.

You will have all the time you need to pick Nadia’s brains. This is your opportunity to ask all the questions you need about the subjects you are least comfortable with or dive deeper into the things you want to know more about.

Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture) is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a micro system, which reflects the entire body. This is represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. Conditions affecting the physical, mental or emotional health of the client are assumed to be treatable by stimulation of the surface of the ear exclusively. Similar mappings are used by several modalities, including the practices of reflexology and iridology.

Pranic healing is a highly developed and tested system of energy treatment that uses prana to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. Prana is the Sanskrit word that means life-force. This invisible bio-energy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains good health.

Herbal medicine works by correcting imbalances and disharmonies within the body. Unlike western medicine, that focuses on a “problem area” once a diagnosis has been made, herbal

medicine views the body as a holistic structure. This view accounts for the idea that the different body systems are interconnected within the body. In addition, there is also a connection with the external environment. Because of these connections, herbal medicine recognizes that even though two individuals may have the same symptoms, the underlying imbalances may be very different. Based on these differences, customized herbal formulas can be tailored to the unique variables of an individual’s physiology.
