✔ Juggling too many roles at once
✔ Staff issues or culture clashes slowing growth
✔ Spending on marketing but not seeing results
✔ Practice stress spilling into home life

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. I work alongside practice owners every week facing these exact challenges — and together, we simplify the chaos and rebuild confidence.

How We Help You Build a REAL Practice — Without the Overwhelm

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter consulting. At Aligned Business Consulting, every practice we work with is unique. That’s why we use the REAL Practice™ Framework — grounded in values, focused on results — and deliver it through the DIVE™ Method, a clear, step-by-step process that helps your team embed lasting change.

The REAL Practice™ Framework

Results. Experience. Alignment. Leadership.

We focus on what matters most:

  • Clinical Excellence — consistent, high-quality care

  • Patient Experience — trust at every touchpoint

  • Team Dynamics — alignment, communication, and leadership

 

All of these pillars are wrapped in your practice values — not just words on the wall, but the foundation for how your practice runs, hires, trains, and grows.

The DIVE™ Method

Our practical, four-step method turns ideas into systems your team can actually use:

  • Diagnose — uncover what’s working, what’s not, and why

  • Implement — introduce clear systems, scripts, and workflows built for your values

  • Validate — embed accountability, KPIs, and review rhythms so changes stick

  • Elevate — add tools, marketing, and leadership support for sustainable growth

about me

I’ve been where you are - I know how tough it can feel.

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.
