hi , im due to open up a two roomed clinic, im a sports and massage therapist with a huge client base freelance. My husband and I have currently bought a premises on a good high street withgood parkingwhere i will be based from. I have also got a receptionist due to start when refurbishments are finished.
Looking through many alternative specialist therapies i have decided i would like to rent the other treatment room to a bowen therapist.
My questions are:
What would you as a bowen therapist want as in general equipment?
What would you as a therapist want to pay daily/weekly for the room?
What would you expect to be included in the price?
Would you want a room share with another bowen therapist or want it for yourself?
I dont intend to chargea great dealas it will also benefit my company. At present it will include all energy costs lighting/heating/power etc, reception staff, room and equipment, advertising (window&newspapers etc).
It will be a fixed fee and quite happy to have just the one therapist that rents it on a weekly basis so they can come and go to use the premises as they want within trading standards laws.
All i ask for is the weekly fee and that the therapist is fully qualified, insured and registered with suitable therapist association.
would like any advice, i dont know too much about bowen therapy butim sureitwould work well with what i do, also making the premises appealing to many. I'm sure many of my clients will be interested too. Shower and toileting facilities are also available on the premises for clients. I have staff employee insurance with Zurich.
Any help anyone? thanks
RE: premises for bowen therapist
I guess too that it depends where you are - large town / expensive area ??? SE England is likely to have higher costs than say SW Wales - for the owner of the property.
I guess I would want to know how much you would be charging per session / per hour for your specialityies and that any Bowen Therapist would not want to undercut you or price themselves out of the market.
Just some additional thoughts.
Good luck

RE: premises for bowen therapist
their has been another discussion about how much commission you should be paying, I think the general consensus was about £6 an hour which includes the bills.
I pay that but supply all my own products, towels. I don't pay electricity, council tax, etc. I also do all my own promotional work and am about to get some wording on the windows replaced which I will pay for myself. the room is basically mine but I only use it 2 days a week. One other person uses it every couple of weeks or so for a few hours.
