This week I’m talking with Dimitri Boules, an acupuncturist who built, scaled, and then sold a super successful clinic with his wife in New York City to relocate his family and their clinic to the island of Cyprus in 2021.
We talk about:
- What sparked their decision to leave everything behind and move across the world
- How they’re building their new practice from the ground up with no contacts or family in the country
- What marketing has been working really well to bring in new patients
- What’s different building a practicing in Cyprus, which has socialized medicine
- Dimitri’s specialty and his online class on orthopedic acupuncture, the Oak Point Method
- Prioritizing family and health over traditional measures of success
I hope you find this episode as fun and fascinating as I did, and feel inspired to pursue your biggest dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem at first.

🎙️ Listen to Episode #78: Starting a Practice from Scratch in Cyprus with Dimitri Boules
This episode is sponsored by The Business of Practice Conference, hosted this year in Melbourne, Australia.
I know Australia is quite a big trip for those of us in the US but I hope you’ll consider joining us. I’m honored to be the international keynote speaker, and I’m joined by eight other practicing acupuncturists who are experts in business growth, social media, practice management, building a brand, and much more.
It’s going to be an energizing weekend and the goal is for you to leave feeling inspired and prepared to build a practice that’s aligned with your own definition of success.
The early bird ticket price of $800 Australian ends on June 30th. With the current exchange rate that’s about $530 US. Grab your reduced-price ticket while you can.
Plus I’ll be staying an extra half day the Monday after the conference to teach Acupuncture Marketing School in person. It’s the first time I’m teaching this coursework in person and it’s going to be a small group, so you’ll get plenty of time to ask questions and get feedback. I am really looking forward to it.
Come and join us and your like-minded colleagues for a great weekend of learning, expansion and networking!
