Business coaching for podiatry clinic owners

Build a podiatry clinic that works without you.

More time, more profit, and a clinic you can step away from. I'm a podiatrist who still runs my own clinic, and I'll give you a clear plan and be in your corner while you follow it.

Lorcan O'Donaile, podiatrist and business coach

Sound familiar?

I'm booked out with patients, but the business isn't growing.

I'm spending on marketing and can't tell if it's working.

Everything runs through me. I can't take a week off without things slowing down.

I'm working harder than ever, but the clinic isn't becoming more profitable.

You're not doing anything wrong. Nobody taught us this part.

Being a great podiatrist and running a profitable clinic are two different skills.

I learned that the hard way. For my first ten years I worked sixty to seventy hours a week and barely made enough to justify it. One Christmas I had to borrow money from my parents to pay my staff's wages.

The turning point was realising it was okay, even necessary, to run my clinic as a proper business, without ever compromising on patient care. I started treating business learning like CPD. I got clear on my numbers, raised my prices, fixed the leaks, and built systems so the clinic didn't depend on me.

Today I still own and run my clinic. Everything I teach, I've tested there first.

How I'll help you

A simple, proven path. No jargon, no guesswork.

  • Know your numbers

    Get clear on your real numbers, like profit margins, conversion rates, cost per new patient and rebooking rates.

  • Decide where you're going

    A clear, personal picture of the clinic and life you want.

  • Fix before you fill

    Fix the leaks (pricing, follow-up, conversion, retention, systems) before spending more on marketing.

  • Build your growth engine

    Add marketing and lead generation once the foundations hold.

  • Scale and step back

    Move from being the bottleneck to running the business, able to delegate and step back from clinical work.
