You left conventional care to create something better.
More freedom. More income. More impact.

You'll Keep:
The Business Academy has given me clear systems and processes that help me stay organized and confident as I continue to grow. The weekly coaching calls have been a major source of support. They keep me focused, challenge my thinking, and provide the structure I need as a busy owner to move forward with clarity.
I’m deeply grateful for Carmen and her team because they make business feel lighter and more achievable. Their guidance has elevated the way I operate, and I can already see the impact in both my growth and momentum. I highly recommend The Advanced Practice to any provider who’s tired of investing in coaches without seeing real progress and wants real support, real systems, and real results.
From the outside, my solo practice looked successful. I had consistent patients, strong clinical results, and a deep passion for my work. But behind the scenes, it felt chaotic. I was stretched thin, undercharging, and operating without real systems to support the level of care I wanted to deliver.
Working with Carmen and The Advanced Practice changed everything. I built a clear patient journey, implemented systems that honored my time and my clients’ outcomes, and finally created structure without losing the personal touch.
The transformation hasn’t just been financial. I now deliver care with clarity, confidence, and boundaries — and my practice finally reflects the high-level work I’ve always been capable of.
I’m genuinely honored to share this review. Finding Carmen Stansberry and The Business Academy felt like a turning point in my business. The amount of value inside the Academy is almost unheard of, and it’s clear from the start that Carmen is deeply invested in helping her members succeed. She isn’t a gatekeeper — she wants everyone to win and continue growing.
I’ve encountered plenty of programs that lack consistency or fail to deliver on their promises. This isn’t one of them. The guidance, support, and integrity behind this Academy make it truly different. If you’re serious about your growth and your future, do yourself a favor and connect — now.
The transformation hasn’t just been financial. I now deliver care with clarity, confidence, and boundaries — and my practice finally reflects the high-level work I’ve always been capable of.
My psychiatry practice was successful, but every November and December it took a big hit when I took time off. Some days I wondered if what I was doing was even worth it.
I worked a lot more this year, often in my off hours, building out my wellness offerings using what I learned in The Academy. Over the last 30 days, psychiatry brought in about $8k less than normal, which is typical for this time of year. The difference is that this year, wellness brought in $13k.
So my overall income was actually up. It’s freaking working!
The transformation hasn’t just been financial. I now deliver care with clarity, confidence, and boundaries — and my practice finally reflects the high-level work I’ve always been capable of.
I had lots of ideas and no real plan. Carmen has a gift for taking multiple ideas and turning it into a clear and doable plan. She is able to see the vision that you cannot see with your ideas. She combines real world strategy, systems and structure to get you launched and seeing patients. This program gave me a great foundation and confidence to step into my practice and serve real clients.
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.
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!
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!
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.
"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!"
"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."

"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!
"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.
"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.
