In this episode of the Osteobizness Podcast, host Gilly Woodhouse speaks recounts her challenging journey, which began with learning online marketing in 2009 and took a dramatic turn when her son suffered heart failure and a stroke, necessitating a move back to the UK. She discovered her passion for osteopathy whilst her son was receiving treatment, she was working part-time and realised many osteopaths struggled to attract patients. This led her to combine her coaching skills with her love for osteopathy, helping clinic owners grow their practices. She stresses the value of seeking external guidance and shares success stories from those who’ve followed her strategies. The episode ends with an invitation for clinic owners to dream big!

BEST MOMENTS
“Something ignited within me as I spoke with delegates on the cranial courses we delivered. I noticed a common theme: they were all saying things like, ‘I just don’t know how to keep getting more new patients because I keep making them better and off they go.'”
“I kept thinking about those wonderful osteopaths too, who didn’t know how to connect with and easily attract more people in pain so that they were kept busy and even more patients were helped back to health.”
