Hi, I'm Dana
I’m an osteopath, a clinic owner, and a mentor to grads and clinic owners,and I’m living proof of “if you want something done, ask a busy person.” Never a dull moment over here.
I didn’t come out of uni knowing I wanted to be an Osteo.
I did exercise science first, felt a bit lost about what was next, worked alongside an Osteo student at a gym, did some observations (including one with a chiro that told me very quickly that wasn’t my path), and landed on Osteopathy because I was drawn to actually helping people feel better, not just patching them up.
Funnily enough, I found something I wrote in year nine about wanting to help pregnant women feel good in their bodies. Eighteen years later, I still do a bit of that work. Turns out some things stick.
Dana the Osteopath started as nothing more than a personal website, somewhere patients could find me when I needed to build something on my own. It became something bigger once I noticed a pattern I couldn’t unsee. Grads get told to “just give it time,” and clinic owners get told to “just figure it out.”
Nobody actually teaches either one properly.
I didn’t get real mentoring as a grad. I made every mistake in the book building my own clinic to a $400k, four-osteo clinic in my first year. So now I teach both, because being safe clinically and being confident in practice are two different things, and being a great osteo and a great business owner are two different skill sets entirely.
lets be social!
