You already have the skill.
Now build the practice that pays you what it is worth, fast.
You do not need a year to learn to care for people. You already know how. Own Your Practice gets your practice registered, priced, and open for business in as little as four months, then spends the rest of a 12-month partnership helping you hold onto what you built. You build it. KerlHive guides you and stays with you the whole way.
Wale Adebayo
Founder, KerlHive
KerlHive is a business development partner built specifically for experienced nurses and caregivers who are building independent practices in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Not a generic coaching program. Not a course you complete and move on from. A structured partnership with real systems and ongoing support built for the care market.
KerlHive exists because of one pattern that showed up again and again across dozens of conversations with experienced care professionals: the gap holding them back is never about their ability to care for people. They know the work exceptionally well. Nobody ever showed them how to build a real business around it. That is the specific gap this program closes.
Own Your Practice is the program KerlHive built for the nurse or caregiver who has already decided she wants to own something real, and who is ready to build it the right way, with people who know this market alongside her from day one through the end of the first full year.
Here is where you are right now. Here is where this takes you.
This is not about becoming better at caring for people. You already are. This is about what you own, how you earn, and what your working life actually looks like.
- Doing private work without any real business structure behind it
- Income that changes every month with no pattern you can plan around
- Clients that show up when someone happens to refer one, not because of a system
- Setting rates by feel because there is no real pricing structure underneath
- Making every hard decision alone with nobody to talk it through with
- Always answering to someone else, or building nothing under your own name
- The owner of a real, registered, independent care practice
- Steady income from retainer clients you chose and priced yourself
- A client-finding system running in your market, bringing the right clients to you
- Legal structure, compliance, contracts, and operations all set up correctly from day one
- Monthly reviews with a team that knows your numbers and your specific situation
- Your name on the door. Your decisions. Your business. Nobody else's rules.
This is what it actually feels like when the practice is real.
The outcome is the destination. These are the things that are different when you are living inside it every day.
You say your rate. You hold it.
Your pricing has a real structure underneath it. When a family asks what you charge, you give them the number without hesitation, because it is not a guess anymore. It is a decision you made on a structure you understand and can explain.
Income you can actually plan your life around.
Retainer clients, not hourly bookings that come and go. You can see the same income coming in every month. You stop wondering if this will be a good month and start making real plans.
Decisions without having to make them completely alone.
Every month, a team that knows your numbers, your market, and your specific situation is reviewing your business with you. You are the owner and the final decision maker. You just do not have to carry it completely alone.
A practice that is set up to handle the hard situations.
Contracts in place. Compliance sorted. Operating systems running. When a difficult situation comes up with a client, you have a process. You do not have to improvise from scratch or stay up worrying about what to do.
You choose your clients. You set your schedule.
You are not waiting to be assigned work. You built a practice that brings in the clients you actually want to serve, on a schedule that works for your life, at a rate that reflects your real experience.
A real business with a real future.
Once your practice is live and running, the path forward is clear. Growing the client base, working with companies and organizations, eventually building a team. You are not stuck in place. You are at the beginning of something real.
Ezinne came in with 15 years of nursing experience, no business background, and no idea how to find her own clients. Four months later, she owned a fully live, operating independent care practice.
Where Ezinne started
Fifteen years. That is how long Ezinne had been caring for older adults and their families when she came to KerlHive. Every family she had ever worked with would have referred her to anyone without hesitation. She was exceptional at the work. What she did not have was any business background at all. She did not know how to find clients on her own, how to set her rate with confidence, or how to register herself as an actual business. She knew what she wanted to build. She had no idea how to build it, or how long it would take.
What the partnership actually built
KerlHive started with the question most care professionals never get answered: how does Ezinne consistently get the right clients to choose her, without depending on referrals or word of mouth? That meant building a specific written picture of her ideal client, designing her service offer around the real outcome she delivers rather than a list of tasks, setting her pricing so she could hold it with confidence in any conversation, and building the full client acquisition plan for her specific market and location. Every piece was built around her actual situation, not copied from a template that works for someone in a different field or a different city.
Where she is now
Bright Companion Care is live and operating, four months after Ezinne started with nothing but her RN license. Ezinne is actively serving premium private clients. The clients she works with are not accidents. They are the result of a system she built, that runs in her market, that she owns outright. You can see the practice she built at brightcompanioncare.com.
"15 years of experience got me to the door. KerlHive helped me walk through it and own what was on the other side."
Your practice goes live in Phase 1. Phase 2 makes sure it stays standing.
You left a job, or you are about to, and you need income again. You do not need a year to learn to care for people; you already know how. So Phase 1 moves fast: registration, pricing, compliance, and a working client acquisition system, built and running in as little as four months. Most programs stop the moment you launch. This one does not. Phase 2 is the rest of your 12-month partnership, the months where you actually run the business and hit the moments that break new owners: the first slow month, the client conversation that goes sideways, the cash flow squeeze nobody warned you about. You move into Phase 2 the moment you complete all five Phase 1 milestones, not when a fixed amount of time has passed. Finish faster, enter Phase 2 faster.
Build and Launch
KerlHive acts as your guide. You get the complete plan, the right order of steps, and a thorough review of every piece of work at every milestone. You do the building, with your own time, your own team, or contractors you choose. KerlHive does not build it for you. KerlHive makes sure everything is built correctly, in the right order, and ready to actually work. There are five milestones. Complete all five and Phase 2 unlocks immediately.
The 5 milestones that define Phase 1 complete- Your Business Is Legally RealYou are registered. You are protected. You are legally allowed to operate.Your business structure is filed, your practice model is defined, and your pricing is built on a structure you understand and can hold with confidence. You move from doing private care informally to owning a registered care practice with your name on it.
- Your Client-Finding System Is Built and ReadyYou have the system that will bring the right clients to you, running automatically in the background.The technology and processes that take your client acquisition strategy and run it consistently, with roughly 80 percent of the daily work automated. This is built privately first, so you are not advertising an unregistered business, and it goes live the moment Milestone 1 is confirmed.
- Your Practice Is Fully Compliant and Ready to Serve ClientsYou could accept a client today without scrambling to find a contract or figure out your process.Contracts, client agreements, intake forms, required policies, insurance, and background check requirements all in place. Scheduling, invoicing, and record keeping systems built and working. Nothing is missing. Nothing needs to be improvised when a real client appears.
- Your Practice Is Publicly Open for BusinessReal people can find you, see you as a professional, and book with you.Your public professional presence is live, including your booking page or website, your business phone number, and your complete public profile. The client acquisition system is fully switched on and reaching the right people in your local market.
- Your Practice Is Actively Having Real Client ConversationsYou are not a business on paper. You are a business in operation.Real client conversations are underway. The practice is fully registered, fully compliant, and fully live. You have crossed from getting ready to actually operating. This is the milestone that unlocks Phase 2, whenever it happens, not when four months have passed.
Four months is the outer boundary, not the target
Put in consistent effort and you can complete all five milestones in 10 or 11 weeks. Phase 2 unlocks the moment you do, not when the calendar says so. You are rewarded for moving fast, not made to wait.
Operate and Stabilize
Once all five Phase 1 milestones are completed and evidenced, Phase 2 unlocks. This is not more building. This is ongoing support while you operate. KerlHive stays with you as your business faces the things you can only encounter by actually running something: the first real cash flow squeeze, the client conversation that does not go the way you expected, the month where income dips and you have to decide what to do. This is where most new practice owners lose their footing, because the support disappears the moment they launch. Ours does not.
What Phase 2 includes every monthMonthly Group Operating Review
A live group session every month looking at what is actually happening: money in, money out, inquiries, conversions. One participant's real progress is spotlighted each session so everyone learns from what is happening in a real practice.
Monthly Private 1:1 Session
One dedicated, private, one-hour session every month with the KerlHive team, for your business only. No group. Just you and your specific numbers, decisions, and direction.
Decision Support Line
A direct line to the KerlHive team between monthly calls, for the decisions that cannot wait until next month. Real support, available when you actually need it.
Owner Transition and Cash Flow Support
Support for the shift from employee to owner: holding your rate, holding your boundaries, and regular check-ins on your numbers so problems are caught early, not after they have already become a crisis.
Not a certificate. Not access to a platform. A real, operating business and the life that comes with it.
At the end of 12 months, everything you built is yours completely and permanently. Nothing is rented. Nothing is managed by KerlHive. Here is what you walk away with, and what each piece actually means for your income, your freedom, and your daily life.
A Real, Registered Practice in Your Name
Not "I do private care on the side." A legally registered, fully compliant, independently operating care practice. Your name. Your business. Your asset that belongs to nobody else.
You can present yourself with confidence, sign real contracts, and charge the rate your experience is worth, because there is something real and legal behind what you are offering.
Steady Income You Can Actually Plan Your Life Around
A pricing structure you set, understand, and hold. Retainer-based client relationships that pay the same amount every month, not hourly bookings that come and go unpredictably.
One retainer client at $3,500 to $5,000 per month. Three clients means $10,500 to $15,000 coming in every single month, reliably, so you can stop wondering if this will be a good month.
A Complete Operating System That Works Without You Firefighting
Contracts, intake processes, scheduling, invoicing, and client management all built and running. Your practice operates like a real business, not like a series of emergencies you have to solve from scratch each time.
You spend your time delivering care and growing, not figuring out what to send a client or how to invoice them at midnight before a shift.
A Client-Finding System Already Proven in Your Market
Not a strategy you still need to figure out on your own. A working system built and tested for your specific city and market, running inside your practice from the moment it goes live.
When you need a new client, you know exactly what to do and where to go. No guessing. No starting from scratch. No hoping someone refers you.
The Freedom, Control, and Quality of Life You Went Independent For
You set your own schedule. You choose which clients you work with. Your income is not decided by someone else's payroll or someone else's roster decisions. You built this.
The life you actually pictured when you first thought about going independent. Not someday. Built over 12 months with real support behind you, starting now.
Real Practice Experience, With Support Through All of It
You went through the hardest first year with a team reviewing your numbers, supporting your decisions, and catching problems before they became crises. That experience cannot be faked or skipped.
The confidence and operating competence that only comes from having actually run something and made it through the hard parts. That is worth more than anything else on this list.
The reason you went independent was not to do the same amount of work for less certainty. It was to own something real, to have income that does not depend on someone else's payroll, to build something under your own name that can grow and outlast any employer's decision. That is what this is. That is what you walk away with.
Read this before you apply. We mean it.
Own Your Practice is a serious 12-month partnership with a specific person in mind. We would rather you know exactly who that is before you invest your time and money.
This is for you if...
- You are an experienced nurse (RN, NP, LPN, LVN) or a caregiver (PSW, HHA, CNA) with real hands-on experience caring for people, at least 2 to 3 years
- You are already doing private work, or you are ready to, and you have decided you want to build a real, registered practice rather than keep doing it informally
- You are strong at the care work but have little or no experience running a business, and you know that gap is what is holding you back
- You can commit consistent time and real attention across 12 months, not just the first few weeks
- You want to build and own the operating knowledge yourself, not have someone build it for you
- You are based in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom
This is not for you if...
- You are brand new to caregiving or nursing and still building your core hands-on experience
- You want someone else to build everything for you, including the brand, technology, and client outreach work
- You are looking for a short program with a quick result and no long-term follow-through
- You cannot commit consistent time and real attention across 12 months
- You are not ready to be the person making every decision in your own business
- You are comfortable where you are and not genuinely motivated to change how you earn

Payment schedule — spread over 12 months
Starts with a short application below. If there is a fit, you will book a Clarity Call with the KerlHive team to confirm and enroll.
The numbers behind what a working practice actually produces.
A care professional charging a $4,500 per month retainer with a 3-month minimum. That one client alone returns your entire $14,997 investment before the end of the first year. This is a real number from a real KerlHive partner, not a projection.
Three clients at $4,500 per month. $13,500 per month. $162,000 per year. This is what a modest, well-structured independent practice looks like when the pricing and the client-finding system are built correctly. Five clients is $225,000 per year. This is the ceiling you are building toward.
How the investment pays for itself
- Your enrollment starts at $1,497.That is the only amount you need to commit on day one.
- Phase 1 builds your practice to fully live.The goal is to have your first real client conversations underway before Phase 2 even begins.
- One signed retainer client at $4,500 per month.Three months of that client covers the full $13,500 minimum. Your $14,997 investment is returned within the year.
- Phase 2 keeps you stable and growing.Eight months of operating partnership with team support while you bring in more clients, grow your client base, and hold your pricing.
- At the end of 12 months, you own a practice.Not access to a program. A real registered business that earns without you starting from scratch every month.
Income figures represent realistic market pricing for experienced independent practitioners based on real client data. Results depend on your effort, local market, client profile, and consistency. These figures are presented to show what is possible with a properly built practice, not to imply they are automatic or guaranteed for every participant.
Everything you need to know before you apply.
I have never heard of KerlHive before. Why should I trust you with something this significant?
That is a fair question and worth answering directly. KerlHive was built around one pattern Wale, our founder, saw across dozens of conversations with experienced care professionals: the gap holding most of them back is never about their ability to care for people. They know the work exceptionally well. Nobody ever showed them how to build a real business around it. Every system, framework, and piece of support inside this partnership was built specifically for the care market, not adapted from a generic business coaching program. The case study on this page is a real client with a real operating practice. You can visit her website. That is how we earn trust.
How quickly can I get through Phase 1? Do I have to wait the full four months?
No. The four-month window is the outer boundary, not the target. Phase 2 unlocks the moment you complete all five Phase 1 milestones and show evidence of them, regardless of how much time has passed. If you put in consistent effort, some participants finish Phase 1 in 10 to 12 weeks. Moving faster is rewarded with earlier access to Phase 2, not a longer wait. What unlocks Phase 2 is milestone completion, not the calendar.
Does the Client Acquisition System cost extra on top of this?
No. It is fully included inside Own Your Practice at no extra charge. You get complete access to the 3-day live build and its five-part output, and you can attend live cohorts up to four times across your 12 months. You do not need to purchase it separately.
What does KerlHive build versus what do I build?
KerlHive designs the plan, sets the order of steps, and reviews every piece of work at every milestone. You do the building, either yourself, with your own team, or by getting help from contractors you choose. This is intentional. By the end of 12 months, you own not just the practice but the understanding to run and grow it yourself. That is worth more than having it handed to you.
What if something unexpected delays me during Phase 1?
Delays are part of life. If something unexpected happens while you are working through Phase 1, we work through it with you. The milestone structure keeps you on track, it does not punish you for real circumstances. What it does require is that you are genuinely engaged and making real progress.
What is the payment structure?
The full price is $14,997, spread across a structured schedule: $1,497 at enrollment, $2,000 in month 2, $3,500 in month 4, and $1,000 per month for the remaining 8 months. If you prefer to pay in full, the price is $13,497, saving you $1,500. This is one 12-month partnership, not a series of separate purchases.
Is there an income guarantee?
No, and we will not pretend there is one. KerlHive commits to delivering the full Phase 1 guidance and Phase 2 operating support as described. What you earn from the practice you build depends on your effort, your local market, and how you apply what you have built. What we can say is that the system works, the structure is real, and the support is there for the full 12 months.
I am in the UK. Does this apply to me?
Yes. Own Your Practice serves care professionals in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. UK-specific legal structure, NHS-adjacent private care, and Continuing Healthcare funding are all covered inside the program.
This page says "nurses and caregivers." I am a PSW / HHA / CNA. Is this actually for me?
Yes. Own Your Practice is built for both licensed nurses and experienced caregivers, including Personal Support Workers, Home Health Aides, and Certified Nursing Assistants. If you have real hands-on experience caring for people and you are ready to build a practice of your own, this is built for you.
