Each with an opening line. Draft with AI, approve every post. ## Summary Every idea here comes from you rather than from your caseload. Nothing on this list requires a client story, a composite, or an anonymised case. Each includes an opening line you can use as written or hand to Bolta to draft around. ## Who this is for - Wellness Practitioners ## Core capabilities - How you work - What you believe - The questions people ask before booking - Scope and fit - Practical and availability - Learning and training - The work in general - The practice as a business ## Limitations and boundaries - This page is general and educational. It is not legal, financial, medical, or regulatory advice for practitioners. - Generated content can be incorrect and should be reviewed before publication. - Availability depends on the current Bolta plan, connected network, account permissions, and integration coverage. - Current prices and plan limits must be verified on the Bolta pricing page. The reason practitioner accounts go quiet is not a shortage of ideas in general. It is that the ideas which come to mind first all originate in sessions, and every one of them has to be discarded — so the well appears dry when in fact only one very specific tap is closed. This list is built entirely from other sources: how you think, what you have changed your mind about, what you trained in, what people ask before booking, what you do not do, and the plain practical information a prospective client is actually looking for. There is enough here for a year at two posts a week without a single sentence originating in a room. Use it as a menu rather than a plan. Pick five categories that fit how you work and ignore the rest — a coach leans into method and belief, a therapist leans into how sessions work and scope, a bodywork or movement practice leans into the practical and the physical. Repetition is not a weakness. Someone reading your account for the first time has not seen the last six months of it, and consistency is precisely what they are assessing. ## How to use this list Pick five categories, not fifteen. An account that returns to the same few themes reads as someone with a coherent way of working; one that ranges across everything reads as someone producing content. Capture the question, not the session. The most reliable content source in this field is the question people ask you before they book, and the second is the question they ask in a first session. Neither is confidential — they are the questions everyone asks. Keep a note on your phone and add to it when something comes up for the third time. Write from the specific to the general. Never open with the category. Open with the actual thing: the question, the thing you changed your mind about, the sentence you find yourself saying most often. The general point comes second, if at all. Watch the register more than the content. In this field the tone is doing most of the work — a reader is deciding whether you seem steady. Anything that reads as urgent, promissory or performed will undo a month of steadier posts. With Bolta, that register is something you set once and enforce at approval, and every edit you make teaches it further. ## Content ideas **How you work** - Describe what actually happens in a first session. Example: People ask what happens in a first session, and the honest answer is: less than you are bracing for. - Explain the practical frame — length, frequency, cancellation, how long people usually stay. Example: Fifty minutes, weekly, and most people are here longer than they expected when they started. Here is why that is not a sales tactic. - Explain what you do between sessions, or what you ask of people. Example: I do not give homework, and the reason is not that I think it does not work. - Explain how you decide the work is finished. Example: Nobody asks how this ends, and it is worth saying out loud that it does end and how we would know. - Describe what a session looks like physically — the room, the format, whether it is remote. Example: The room has two chairs, a window, and no clock facing you. All three of those are deliberate. **What you believe** - Post something you have changed your mind about in the work. Example: I used to think the goal was understanding why. I have thought about it differently for a few years now. - State a position on something in your field that others disagree with. Example: I do not think everyone needs this, and I think the field has an incentive not to say so. - Explain why you work in the modality you work in. Example: I trained in this specifically, after several years of doing something else that I found was not reaching what I wanted it to reach. - Push back on a piece of advice that circulates constantly in your field. Example: This gets repeated everywhere and it is close enough to true to be genuinely unhelpful. **The questions people ask before booking** - Answer the question people ask most before they book. Example: The question I get most before anyone books: no, you do not need to know what you want to talk about. - Answer the question people are embarrassed to ask. Example: Nobody asks this out loud and a lot of people are wondering, so: yes, that is extremely common and no, it does not mean what you think. - Explain what happens if it is not a good fit. Example: What happens if we do not click: you tell me, or I tell you, and I help you find someone else. That is a normal outcome, not a failed one. - Explain the cost honestly, including what you do about access. Example: My fee is on the website and I would rather talk about it here than have it be the awkward bit of a first call. **Scope and fit** - Say plainly who you are not the right person for. Example: I am not the right person if you want something structured and brief, and I would rather say that here than three sessions in. - Explain the difference between what you do and an adjacent profession. Example: These two things get used interchangeably and they are genuinely different jobs with different training. - Explain what you refer out and to whom. Example: There are four things I do not work with. Here they are, and here is roughly who I would send you to instead. - Explain when someone should see somebody else first. Example: Sometimes the right first appointment is not with me, and it is worth knowing which situations those are. **Practical and availability** - Post current availability without urgency. Example: Two openings from the second week of September, one Tuesday morning and one Thursday afternoon. - Post that you are full, and who you would suggest instead. Example: I am full and my waiting list is closed until November. Here are two practitioners I would send someone to. - Explain how to actually reach you and what happens next. Example: Here is what happens when you send that first message, including how long I take to reply and why. - Post about a break or closure well in advance. Example: I am away for two weeks in August. If you were thinking about starting, here is how that affects the timing. - Explain the free introductory call, if you offer one. Example: The fifteen-minute call is for both of us to work out whether this is a match. There is no cost and no expectation. **Learning and training** - Post about something you are reading, with an actual opinion. Example: Reading something at the moment that I disagree with about a third of, which is the useful proportion. - Post about a training you did and the one thing that changed because of it. Example: Four days of training last month and one specific thing I do differently now as a result. - Explain what supervision is and why you are in it. Example: People are surprised that I have someone I take my work to. Here is what that is and why it is not optional. - Recommend a resource that is not you. Example: A book I recommend more often than I recommend booking with me, and who it is right for. **The work in general** - Explain a concept from your field in plain language, without addressing the reader personally. Example: This term gets used loosely everywhere. Here is what it actually describes and why the difference matters. - Explain why something that sounds simple is difficult. Example: The instruction is easy to say and it is one of the harder things anyone does. That gap is most of the work. - Explain what progress actually looks like, honestly. Example: Progress rarely looks like feeling better every week, and expecting it to is one of the things that makes people stop. - Explain something the culture gets wrong about your field. Example: The version of this in films is not just inaccurate, it puts people off for years. **The practice as a business** - Post about a decision you made about how you run the practice. Example: I stopped taking evening appointments this year and it is the best decision I have made about this work. - Post about a policy and the reasoning, so it is never a surprise. Example: My cancellation policy exists for a reason that is not money, and here it is. ## A rhythm that survives a full caseload Two posts a week is plenty, and the entire point of the number is that it survives the months when you are full. A burst of daily posting followed by three months of silence is worse than two a week forever, because the silence is what a prospective client sees when they finally look. A workable weekly shape: one post about how you work or what you believe, and one that is practical — availability, fit, how to reach you, what you refer out. Once a month, something about learning: a book, a training, a resource that is not you. Batch the writing, not the noticing. Keep a running note of questions people actually ask, and once a fortnight turn four of them into posts. With Bolta the agents fill the queue from your context continuously and you approve in one sitting between sessions, scheduled across the following weeks. Nothing publishes until you approve it, so working ahead does not mean losing control of tone — which is the thing that actually matters here. ## What can a therapist post on Instagram without breaching confidentiality? Anything that originates in you rather than in a session: how you work, what you have changed your mind about, why you trained in what you trained in, the questions people ask before booking, who you are not the right fit for, and practical availability. Composites and anonymised client stories are not a safe middle ground and are best avoided entirely. ## How often should a therapist or coach post? Twice a week is plenty, and the number is chosen so it survives a full caseload. Steadiness matters more than volume here because a prospective client is assessing whether you seem consistent. A burst followed by three months of silence is worse than a low cadence held for years. ## Is it unethical to market a therapy practice? Being findable is not the issue; the method is. Urgency, scarcity, outcome promises and content drawn from client work are what tend to sit badly. Describing plainly what you do, how you work and who you are not right for does not. Your own licensing body and professional association are the authority on what is permitted for you. ## Should a practitioner ask clients for testimonials? Check with your own licensing body and professional association before doing anything. In several of these professions soliciting testimonials from current or former clients is restricted or prohibited, and even where permitted it raises a genuine question about whether someone in that relationship can freely decline. Do not adopt it because a general marketing guide recommended it. ## What should I do when someone comments about their own situation? Reply with a short, warm, identical line pointing to how to reach you properly, decided in advance and used every time. Answering substantively is giving advice in public to someone who is not your client, without context. Deciding the reply in advance is what stops you improvising when a message is genuinely moving. ## Can AI write posts for a therapy or coaching practice? For drafting, yes — from your approach, your voice and the questions people ask, never from anything about a client, because client information should never enter the product at all. Bolta's agents can be told to avoid urgency, direct address and promissory language, and every draft goes to your approval queue before it publishes. ## Relevant links - [Social media for wellness practitioners, drafted by AI and approved by you](https://bolta.ai/for/wellness-practitioners) - [LinkedIn for wellness practitioners: referrals, organisations and peers](https://bolta.ai/for/wellness-practitioners/linkedin) - [A boundary-safe publishing workflow for wellness practitioners](https://bolta.ai/for/wellness-practitioners/compliance) - [Wellness practitioner social media examples, rewritten before and after](https://bolta.ai/for/wellness-practitioners/examples) - [Related page: /for](https://bolta.ai/for) - [Bolta pricing](https://bolta.ai/pricing)
