I use Wordpress and designed my website myself. I then purchased and use TidyCal for booking. I use Stripe for payments and invoicing. I’m lucky, I’ve designed websites on Wordpress before so I don’t find it difficult. But I do know some advocates that rely solely on their GNA profiles and still get clients. Having a website becomes important if you were planning on doing individual target marketing or you want to increase your reach via SEO or AEO. But you could do something really simple like just a one page website through WordPress and that would probably be the best economically. There are many videos on YouTube how to do this and so if you are technically savvy, you could probably do it yourself. If you are not, you could hire an individual through a service like UpWork or Fiverr to do it for you.
Hello! I'm Victoria, a BCPA located in Los Angeles, CA. I focus on advocacy for individuals and families navigating complex chronic illness, rare disease, or undiagnosed conditions through my company Chronically Advocating.
I know a lot about California health insurance regulation and laws, as well as still always learning about ERISA and federal laws. I specialize in commercial insurance. So if you have any questions, ask away!
I bring my personal experience navigating the healthcare system due to my own multiple chronic illnesses and rare diseases. In addition to my one-on-one advocacy, I serve on the Advocacy Committee for the Spondylitis Association of America, the California Advocacy Team at the U.S. Pain Foundation, and the California State Advocacy Committee for the Arthritis Foundation. I sit on the board of G-PACT and co-lead the only monthly gastroparesis support group. I also am a Merit Reviewer with PCORI and am part of the NIH HEAL T90/R90 Lived Experience Advisory Group, bringing the patient voice into clinical research.
