What makes the work different

Still in the Room

Thirty-three years in practice and more than 100,000 adjustments. I still see patients four days a week, so nothing I recommend is theory I haven't tested on a real schedule.

Eighty Clinics, Not One

I've worked inside more than eighty practices as a locum. Most advice comes from someone extrapolating from a single clinic β€” their own. Mine doesn't.

Built to Last

Systems and habits that hold up when the week goes badly. The point isn't a good month. It's still doing this in decade three.

How It Works

What working together actually looks like

1

Free Discovery Call

A 15-minute, no-pressure call to understand where you are.

2

Personalized Plan

A clear, focused plan tailored to your specific situation.

3

The Work

Sessions, a mastermind, or a full audit of your practice β€” whichever fits.

4

Real-Life Results

You implement what we build together as your life evolves.

Credentials & Background

Three decades in healthcare, on both sides of the conversation.

I've been a clinician, a clinic owner, and a locum in more practices than I can easily count. The coaching comes out of all three.

Common questions

Which path is right for me? +

If you're working on your own health, Health Coaching is for you. If you're a licensed health professional looking to grow your practice, Practice Growth Coaching is the path. If you own a clinic and need someone to cover it while you're away, that's Locum Coverage. Still unsure? Book a free 15-minute consult.

What is a practice audit? +

Coaching starts with your questions. An audit is the reverse β€” I go through your practice the way an owner would and tell you what I find, in writing. It comes two ways: a remote audit built on your numbers, systems and paperwork, or an on-site version that adds a half day watching your clinic actually run. Both end with a written report and an hour going through it together. Details and pricing are on the practice growth page.

Do you provide locum coverage for clinics? +

Yes. I cover chiropractic practices in Kelowna, the Central Okanagan, and Vancouver's Westside β€” for vacation, parental and medical leave, conference weeks, and short-notice absences. Full details, rates, and availability are on the locum services page.

Do you work with people outside BC? +

Yes. All coaching is delivered virtually β€” webinars, group sessions, and 1-on-1 calls all happen over video, so location doesn't matter. The remote practice audit is the same: no geographic limit. Only two things need me physically present, and those are locum coverage and the on-site audit.

Can I use more than one service? +

Yes β€” many of my best clinician clients started in Health Coaching and later moved into Practice Growth, or vice versa.

Whether you're trying to feel better in your own body, or build a practice that doesn't drain you β€” the work matters. And it deserves more than generic advice.
