Some callings begin early. As a little girl, Sandra Krops treated her dolls and teddy bears, and even then, she felt a deep desire to understand how the body works, what causes illness, and how healing happens. That passion eventually led her to train as a medical assistant. Over the years, she worked in several medical practices, taking on increasing responsibility and working independently. But at some point, she knew that she wanted more. While still working, Sandra completed her training as a licensed alternative practitioner (Heilpraktiker) and went on to open her own practice in Kiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIf I\u2019m going to complete this training, it\u2019s with one goal in mind: I want my own practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Her areas of focus include gut health, detoxification, and the targeted use of essential oils. What truly sets her apart is her ability to combine conventional medical knowledge with naturopathic expertise. But above all, she prioritizes active listening and deeply involving her clients in every treatment decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More bookings, less administrative stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Since becoming self-employed, Sandra has relied on her Jimdo website<\/a> to support her business behind the scenes. For her, it\u2019s much more than a digital business card. It\u2019s a true operational assistant that provides clients with information, booking options, and guidance: 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimdo customer since 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n About a year and a half ago, Sandra added the online booking tool to her Jimdo package. Since then, clients have been able to schedule appointments at any time, significantly increasing the likelihood that spontaneous interest turns into an actual booking. For Sandra, the time savings have been substantial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThe booking tool definitely saves me time. Before, I spent about four to five hours a week managing appointments\u2014 now it\u2019s maybe one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Her clients love it too. Especially younger, tech-savvy individuals appreciate being able to book appointments independently and conveniently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automatically syncing online business listings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another feature Sandra values in her day-to-day operations is Jimdo Business Listings<\/a>. This tool allows her to manage all of her practice information from one central place and update it across more than 15 major online directories with just one click. If her holiday hours change, for example, she updates them once in her Jimdo dashboard and all connected directories sync automatically. No more logging into dozens of platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThe listing tool is amazing. When I update my office hours, they\u2019re instantly updated on the major platforms. I don\u2019t have to log into 20 different sites.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
How the Jimdo Companion supports her every day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For Sandra, the Jimdo Companion<\/a> is far more than just another feature, it has become, in her words, \u201ca very good acquaintance\u201d and a regular part of her business routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concrete suggestions help her better understand keywords, expand her content strategically, and feel more confident about her website\u2019s ranking. She has added her office hours, expanded her service descriptions, and even created a downloadable flyer link in under five minutes\u2014something she previously thought was impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results are tangible: more website visitors, more bookings, and more clients. She especially appreciates the Companion\u2019s analytics and email notifications, which consistently motivate her to take action. She also regularly uses the Business Assistant\u2019s chat feature for wording support, website questions, and now even broader topics such as pricing strategies or workshop planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince I\u2019ve been implementing the Companion\u2019s suggestions, I\u2019ve seen more website visitors, more bookings, and more clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sandra combines medical expertise with entrepreneurial foresight. Her Jimdo website, booking tool, business listings, and Companion help her stay visible online, automate processes, and grow her business step by step\u2014without ever losing sight of what matters most: her clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandra\u2019s Tips for Starting Your Own Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Share your idea and show up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re planning to become self-employed or open your own practice, don\u2019t start from zero. Talk about your plans early on and put yourself out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Adapt your services as you grow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cMy services have evolved along with me. Sometimes I add something new because I realize that\u2019s the missing piece. And sometimes growth means letting things go. The important thing is to stay authentic and stand by what you can offer .\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
