OLD SCHOOL?? No, Ahead of the Curve.
Harrogate Sanctuary has never been much of a presence online, simply because we have needed to be. Apart from the trumpeting of my best-selling book, The Sober Revolution over 10 years ago, we have operated very much on word of mouth and recommendations.
Over the years I have blogged, had many testimonials out there on the website, but more and more I am becoming aware of a shift, albeit a small one currently, of society moving away from social media and other ways to be ‘seen’ on the internet. With good cause. There are always the trolls, but nowadays there seems to be such a toxicity and vileness going on, traits which often have created so many problems for my clients, my decision to fly completely under the radar has been an easy one.
I don’t need to advertise my work, there are thousands of people I have helped over the years who do that for me, I certainly don’t want to be involved in any sort of comparison to others, because there simply is nothing out there like my programmes, although copying does go on quite a lot!
My clients truly want and often need total privacy with this, they are not posting their latest breakfast or work out on Insta, they are way too busy living in the real world for that. The Sanctuary gives them exactly what they need, and if they prefer after thoughtful consideration, to do the healthy thing, to engage in conversation and face to face communication, that is how we will continue to grow.
Sober might have been the new black, but I predict going forward that getting your advice and wellness in real time will overtake this by a very long way.
