We recently connected with Constance Foreman and have shared our conversation below.

Constance, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

Beyond Clinic Walls Wellness came into existence in 2021 in the midst of the Covid19 pandemic. If you transport yourself back to this time, you might remember having a lot of angst and being uncertain about what was to come next, especially in relation to your health. You were not alone! On March 18, 2020 my own mother started experiencing upper respiratory symptoms that we later learned was covid19. For 16 days I cared for her at home while seeing patients remotely and being like everyone else glued to TV, social media and the internet trying to learn more about how we were going to get through that scary time. As things developed, I was dumbfounded by sensationalized reports and poor medical advice being broadcasted to not only members of my community but worldwide. People were scared and confused and they really needed someone they trusted to help navigate them through being their healthiest self. Once the dust settled a little, and things started to improve I decided that I AM a trusted community member and that I could help my community get and stay healthy. I was reminded that as much as I value my career as a physician, it takes more than just doctors visits to stay healthy and that most of the work to stay well happens outside of my clinic; thus Beyond Clinic Walls Wellness was created.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hey CanvasRebel, I’m Dr. Constance. I’m originally from Maryland but my family’s roots are in coastal North Carolina and I decided early in life that I wanted to settle down in this area. I am a family medicine physician but have a special interest in lifestyle medicine and healthy living in general. My decision to start a health coaching and health education business was birthed from seeing a need amongst my own patients. I’m sure anyone would love for their doctor or other health professional to come home with them and help them make decisions about their health in real time but if you knew how many patients we really have you’d understand just how impossible that is. Although I cannot physically be in the homes of individuals trying to get and stay healthy I can provide evidence based resources that are not only educational but approachable and perhaps even fun!

How did you build your audience on social media?

Social media has always been a challenge for me and I’m sure will be an ongoing battle. Literally, people get paid to build successful social media pages but most first time entrepreneurs don’t have the ability to do so. The best advice I can give is to be authentic and stay consistent. If you create content that is true to what you represent and the purpose of your business and do so on a regular basis, you will develop faithful followers and catch new followers overtime. Also, it is important to separate your personal life from your business page. Sometimes there might be overlap in your personal and professional/business life and that’s ok but the focus should be on awareness, goods and services.

Does your business have multiple or supplementary revenue streams (like a ATM machine at a barbershop, etc)?

While I do not have a brick and mortar business I most definitely rely on diversity product offerings. Currently, I am a business of one so there are limitations to what I can accomplish solo. With having an on demand courses in addition to providing custom workshops I create the ability to be in two or more places at one time which is amazing! Always consider how you can maximize the same 24 hrs that we all get in a day.
