How Naturopathic Doctors Can Reconnect with Their Email List After Ghosting

If you’re a naturopathic doctor who’s been ghosting your email list, you’re not alone.

Ariana was burnt out, overwhelmed, and ready to quit emailing her clients altogether.

After taking three months off and completely rebranding her practice, she was excited for a fresh start, but…

Didn’t know what to say or where to even begin.

The pressure to “do it right” felt heavy. This was her business, her passion, so why did showing up in inboxes feel so hard?

Maybe you’ve felt the same way:

• You’ve disappeared from your list (again).

• You’re overthinking every word before hitting send.

• You want to reconnect but feel stuck, unsure how to start.

If that sounds familiar, here’s what I told Ariana - and what I’d tell you too:

1. Send three emails a week.

No, it’s not too much. Your ideal clients want to hear from you. They signed up because they value your expertise and care.

2. Trust your readers.

This is the game-changer.

When you start to trust your audience, your whole email approach shifts.

You stop obsessing over every word because you know they genuinely want to hear from you.

They don’t expect perfection; they want connection, authenticity, and value.

Your readers are just human beings seeking guidance and support in their health journey.

When you trust that, your writing flows more naturally and your emails become conversations, not sales pitches.

And here’s a truth that often holds naturopathic doctors back: if someone unsubscribes, that’s actually a good thing.

It means your message is refining itself. Those who remain are your true community - people who resonate deeply with your approach, your tone, your expertise.

Focusing on serving those who want to hear from you creates a positive feedback loop, which makes showing up for your list easier and more fulfilling.

How to build trust with your email list

Here are some simple but powerful ways to nurture that trust through your emails:

• Be authentic: Share your real experiences, including challenges and wins. Your readers want to see the person behind the practice.

• Offer consistent value: Whether it’s a health tip, a resource, or a mindset shift, make every email worth their time.

• Use a conversational tone: Write like you’re speaking to a friend. Avoid jargon and corporate-speak.

• Invite replies: Encourage your readers to respond, ask questions, or share feedback. When you engage back, it deepens connection.

• Respect their inbox: Yes, send emails regularly, but keep them meaningful, not spammy or sales-heavy. (I am for 3x a week)

3. Embrace imperfection

Perfectionism kills momentum.

Waiting for the “perfect email” to appear out of thin air often leads to doing nothing at all.

Instead, aim for progress - showing up consistently, learning as you go, and adjusting based on what your audience responds to.

Remember, every email you send is a step forward in building a lasting relationship.

Why Consistent Emailing Matters for Naturopathic Doctors

Your email list is your community.

It’s where you build trust, share your holistic health insights, and nurture long-term relationships with clients who value your care.

Ghosting your list creates a gap, and that gap makes it harder to rebuild momentum.

But it’s never too late to start again.

Remember: Your ideal clients are waiting to hear from you.

They want your guidance, your wisdom, your unique voice.

And consistent, authentic emails are one of the best ways to deliver that.

Ariana’s Transformation: From Burnout to Momentum

After just one coaching call, Ariana didn’t just write a single email; she mapped out a full month’s worth of content.

She stopped trying to be perfect and started trusting her message.

With her renewed confidence, sending emails became easier and even enjoyable.

Her audience responded positively, and she felt connected to her purpose again.
