What Makes Your Brand Unique? 3 Questions to Ask Yourself
One of the most common things my clients ask is, "How do I make my brand stand out?" Whether they’re a functional health practitioner, yoga teacher, or holistic nutritionist, many wellness professionals feel like their message isn’t clear or that they’re blending in with everyone else. I totally get it—it can feel overwhelming when you're passionate about helping others, but not as sure about how to communicate your brand's uniqueness.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a lot of wellness practitioners who struggled with this same problem. And every time, I come back to the same three questions. These questions help clarify what makes their brand truly unique and allow them to communicate it effectively to attract more of the right clients.
1. What Problem Do You Solve That Others Don’t?
This is one of the most important questions I ask when working with my clients. Too often, they don’t realize that the very thing they’re passionate about is what makes them stand out. For example, I’ve worked with functional health practitioners who specialize in helping kids with chronic issues like allergies, ADHD, or digestive disorders—using natural medicine and holistic treatments. They’re doing incredible work, but they don’t always know how to position themselves as different from other health professionals.
What I tell them is: Think about the specific problem you solve for your clients. What’s the pain point they’re dealing with, and how do you approach it in a way that’s unique? Maybe it’s your focus on root causes, or the personalized treatment plans you offer that help parents find real, long-term solutions for their kids.

2. Who Exactly Is Your Ideal Client?
This question often stumps wellness professionals. Many assume their brand needs to appeal to everyone, but I’ve seen time and time again that narrowing down your ideal client makes a world of difference in attracting the right clients. For example, are you targeting individuals and families looking to heal chronic conditions like gut imbalances, food sensitivities, or autoimmune disorders through nutrition? Or are you focused on helping clients who seek natural dietary solutions to improve their overall well-being and long-term health?
One holistic nutrition coach I worked with wasn’t initially clear on who she was trying to help. After we redefined her ideal clients as people and families seeking natural dietary changes to address their chronic health concerns, her messaging became much clearer, and her website started attracting more inquiries from clients struggling with similar issues.

3. How Do You Deliver Your Services Differently?
This is where your brand truly comes to life. Many wellness professionals don’t realize how special their delivery is until we work together to unpack it. For example, do you provide personalized treatment plans that include both nutritional support and herbal medicine? Maybe you offer virtual consultations to accommodate busy parents, or you include educational resources to empower parents to maintain their child’s health between visits.
One client I worked with had this amazing system for holistic family care, including ongoing parental support and guidance. However, her website didn’t clearly communicate this. Once we showcased how she delivers her services differently—making it easy and accessible for families—her business grew significantly.
Think about the client experience you provide. How do you make it easier, more personalized, or more effective than others in your field?
Final Thoughts: Personalize Your Brand to Stand Out
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with health practitioners and wellness professionals, it’s that your uniqueness is already there—you just need to uncover it. By answering these three questions, you’ll gain clarity on what makes your practice truly special, and you’ll be able to communicate that effectively to attract clients who align with your mission.
If you’re feeling unsure about how to communicate your brand’s uniqueness, I’d love to help. Many of my clients started out feeling confused about how to present their business online, but through strategic website design, they’ve been able to grow their practice and reach the right clients.
