Dr. Angie Pulido-Banner

I went from $75 an hour on insurance to $400 an hour cash pay. And before I got out I was sitting on $50,000 in unpaid claims. It's like, come on.

So on the Freedom Call we look at your practice together and figure out your very next step. You can stay on panels while you build. That's fully up to you, but I want you to at least see what's possible.

How does Burn the Couch work??

Four phases, one step at a time. And you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

Weeks 1 to 4

Reclaim

Who you are, who you serve and why it matters. So your clients can actually find you.

Weeks 5 to 8

Build

The structure behind your offers so you can deliver this without burning out again.

Weeks 9 to 12

Scale

Get seen, heard and trusted by the people who pay you well.

Weeks 13 to 16

Amplify

Legacy level impact. Leading your way, on your terms.
