about me
Helping Dental & Specialist Practices Run Smoothly
I didn’t set out to be a business consultant—I lived the reality of practice ownership firsthand. As the wife of a dentist and former co-owner of a busy dental practice, I was deeply involved in the challenges of running and managing a practice. I saw the long hours, operational stress, and constant juggle between patient care, team leadership, and business growth.
But once we implemented the right systems, everything changed. I then worked in a specialist practice, where I gained even deeper insight into what makes a practice run efficiently. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve taken those lessons—both the struggles and the breakthroughs—and developed a consulting approach that helps practice owners gain clarity, take control, and get back to what they love: practising dentistry.
At Aligned Business Consulting, I help dental and specialist practice owners build tailored, sustainable systems that support their business, team, and long-term success. Through a structured diagnostic review, I create a detailed ‘treatment plan’ for your business, empowering you and your managers to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and build a practice that works for you—not the other way around.
What Sets Me Apart
✅ Real-World Experience – I’ve been in your shoes, managing a growing dental practice firsthand. I understand the challenges, frustrations, and rewards of practice ownership.
✅ Tailored One-on-One Consulting – Every practice is different. I offer customised strategies designed specifically for your practice’s needs and goals.
✅ Business & Financial Expertise – With a background in banking, finance, and business management (plus a commerce degree), I bring practical, results-driven strategies to improve efficiency and profitability.
✅ Focus on Practical Solutions – I don’t just offer advice—I help you implement proven systems that improve workflows, empower your team, and enhance patient experience.
✅ Committed to Long-Term Success – My goal is to help you build a profitable, well-structured practice that gives you back control, time, and balance.

Can you provide examples of successful improvements or changes you've implemented in other dental practices?My history is defined by driving growth in healthcare practices through strategic policies, systems, and procedures relating to patient experience and treatment conversions.
