Episode #86 on the Acupuncture Marketing School Podcast: Pay Your Clinic Rent with Retail Income - Retail Tips from Acupuncturists Tori and Marla of TOMA Skincare

Today I’m talking all things wholesale and retail with Tori Paide and Marla Peoples, acupuncturists and founders of the clean skincare line, TOMA Skincare.

Tori and Marla are business partners who both left corporate careers to become acupuncturists. They met in acupuncture school and after going their separate ways briefly after graduation, eventually decided to work together to build multiple practice locations.

Today they run The Stillpoint, a wildly successful clinic in Maryland with a huge retail income as well as multiple offerings, from cosmetic acupuncture to microneedling to massage and more.

They also teach excellent microneedling classes and facial gua sha online – which is how I discovered them years ago!

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How to choose products that sell and also align with the ethos of your business as well as your passions
  • Where to buy products at wholesale prices (Faire.com)
  • How to dip your toe in the water with retail, with minimal risk
  • How to pay your rent from retail income alone
  • What kinds of products sell well at Marla’s practice
  • Brands Tori and Marla recommend
  • And much more

💙 This episode is sponsored by Jane.

You might already be familiar with the name, but if it’s new to you, Jane is a HIPAA-compliant clinic management software and EMR.

Chasing down patients or clients for important information isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time, especially when there are forms to be filled, payments to be processed, and consents to be collected.

That’s why Jane has designed user-friendly online intake forms, so you can gather all the information you need ahead of the appointment — whether that’s health history, insurance details, or a credit card on file.

Jane will even send a friendly reminder 24 hours before a patient’s appointment if they haven’t completed their intake form yet — saving you from having to manually follow up.
