The interview
What was your situation before finding the Perfect Practice Mentorship?
We were just two sisters with a big dream. We are not doctors; I was a teacher and Carla was an engineer. We had a passion for health and wellness, but we were essentially starting from scratch after I needed help healing and we decided to form a business around what we learned.
What specifically did Sachin and the Perfect Practice help you achieve?
Sachin helped us put our big ideas into systems so that we could effectively serve people and also get compensated for our services. He provided the structure and the systems to our big ideas and helped us with formulating the practice.
What made you decide to join the mentorship?
I was online listening to Sachin and I told Carol I found the perfect person to join. We felt it was different because of the family feeling and the fact that it provided the medical content we needed since we didn't come from a medical background.
How has your life changed since working with the mentorship?
The biggest difference is what we gained in self-confidence and our commitment to health and wellness, becoming disruptors in the healthcare industry. Sachin showed us how to shore up our edges, fill in our holes, and create a platform to get our message out to people.
What kind of results are your clients seeing now?
We've been getting powerful transformations. Our clients have reported a better way of life and a true lifestyle change, not just for them, but also for their families.
What is the most valuable part of the community for you?
The ability to meet with physicians and other health practitioners. Whenever we have a client issue we can't fully address, being able to bring that client as a case study before the group has proved to be immeasurable in the value we give clients.
What surprised you most about the program?
The teaching is timeless; everything is still relevant whether it was a year ago or now. Also, the heart of the community—it's a real family that is very heart-centered and heart-led.
What specific freedoms has the program helped you work toward?
We are looking for financial freedom, distance freedom to work from home or the beach, and emotional freedom. We're in our 50s and we don't want to build a business that's a cage; we want one we can grow in for the rest of our lives.
What were your initial growth results after launching?
We started with zero clients and we came on so strong and professional that people started referring. We literally started with 50 people, which is unheard of because we were down at one.
Frequently asked
Can I join the Perfect Practice Mentorship if I am not a doctor?
Yes. Carol Lamar and Carla Doleman joined as a former teacher and engineer, respectively. They noted that Sachin Patel never made them feel they weren't worthy or didn't know enough, instead building upon their existing strengths.

The program is described as 'full service' by Carla Doleman, specifically providing the medical content and clinical structure needed for those coming from non-medical backgrounds to serve clients effectively.
How does the mentorship help with difficult client cases?
The community allows practitioners to bring clients as case studies before a group of physicians and other health practitioners. Carol Lamar described this ability to access expert feedback as 'immeasurable' in value.
