In Episode 72, Gerda answers a question that’s on the mind of so many practice owners right now, especially with the cost-of-living pressures affecting client demand and this question is:

Where do I Find NEW Clients…? (Yes, NEW in capital letters.)

This episode was sparked by a brilliant question from a group practice owner inside Gerda’s Facebook community who asked... 

“How do companies currently advertise their services, and where do families actually find you?”

Needless to say, if you’ve got open spots in your diary right now or you’re trying to prevent the next quiet patch, then this episode is for you.

In this Episode, you will learn:

  • A simple way to understand marketing and how it all fits together.
  • What the “FIND” stage of the Allied Health Client Attraction Process involves.
  • Why guessing where clients come from can hurt your marketing.
  • Easy ways to track where new clients are actually coming from.

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Practice owners with available diary spots who need more enquiries.
  • Group practice owners investing in marketing who want clearer ROI.
  • Owners who want a more consistent, repeatable way to attract clients, without the “post and pray” approach.

If you want to find new clients in a way that’s strategic, measurable, and aligned with your niche, then this episode will help you build the system and start making marketing decisions with confidence. And, when you do this, you build a practice you can't stop smiling about 😍

70. How Much Should I Pay Myself as the Practice Owner?19 Apr 202600:49:09

In Episode 70, Gerda tackles a question so many practice owners wonder about but almost nobody talks about out loud: How Much Should I Pay Myself as the Practice Owner…? 

This episode was sparked by a brave (and very real) question Gerda was asked recently and while it can feel uncomfortable to talk about, it's a very important conversation to have. 

In this insightful conversation, Gerda shares what she’s seen practice owners pay themselves in the real world, why owner pay is often the first thing to disappear when margins get tight, and the key variables you need to consider so you can pay yourself in a way that’s sustainable, without sacrificing your team, your clients, or your future.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

  • What practice owners are actually paying themselves right now, and why the range is far wider than you might expect.
  • The key variables that should shape your pay, and why it shouldn’t depend on your clinical caseload.
  • The two main ways practice owners can pay themselves.
  • A simple but powerful way to benchmark your pay, including how Gerda personally determines her own pay..

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Practice owners who are unsure about what’s a normal or appropriate owner’s pay.
  • Group practice owners carrying financial pressure, team responsibilities, and risk, but not seeing the reward.
  • Anyone who wants to build a practice that’s sustainable for the whole trifecta: you, your team, and your clients.

Tune in for a candid, grounding conversation that will help you think clearly about owner pay and make decisions that support a practice you can’t stop smiling about

In this episode 68, Gerda challenges one of the most common assumptions in private practice and reveals the often overlooked driver of sustainable growth, profitability, and client experience, being your admin team.

While most practice owners focus on increasing fees, hiring more clinicians, or ramping up marketing, Gerda unpacks why none of these strategies will deliver consistent results without a high-performing front desk team supporting them.

  • How lost revenue opportunities are quietly slipping through the cracks.

  • A powerful mindset shift to stop seeing admin as “overheads” and start leveraging them as your front desk operating system.

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Practice owners feeling stuck despite investing in marketing, hiring, or pricing strategies.
  • Business owners who are ready to build a more streamlined, scalable, and sustainable practice.
  • Anyone who suspects their admin team could be doing more, but isn’t sure how to unlock it.

If you’re serious about building a Self-Running Practice™ that runs smoothly, delivers exceptional client care, and protects your profit, then this episode is a must-listen, because your admin team isn’t just your admin support, they are your hidden revenue engine allowing you to build a practice you can't stop smiling about 😍

63. More Clients, More Team, But Less Freedom? Here's Why...15 Feb 202600:32:29

In Episode 63, Gerda gets real about a dilemma so many private practice owners face in that is: More Clients, More Team... But Less Freedom.

If you started your practice for flexibility and freedom, but now find yourself with a bigger team, a fuller diary, and even less time and headspace than before, then this episode is for you. 

Gerda unpacks why simply adding more clients and hiring more clinicians doesn’t automatically create the freedom you dreamed of (and why it often does the opposite).

  • The difference between 'growth' and 'optimisation' and why you need both for a sustainable, enjoyable practice.
  • The subtle signs your business has outgrown its current systems and how to spot the red flags before burnout hits.
  • How to move from “I have to handle it” to “The system will handle it”  and start building a truly self-running practice.

  • Practice owners feeling overwhelmed, bottlenecked, or like their business is running them (instead of the other way around).
  • Clinicians and group practice owners who want real freedom, not just a bigger to-do list.
  • Anyone ready to move from hustle and chaos to clarity, consistency, and genuine flexibility.

61. Remuneration Roulette: Why Guessing What to Pay Your Team is Costing You More Than You Think01 Feb 202600:29:00

In Episode 61, Gerda tackles one of the most stressful and high-stakes challenges for group private practice owners being: Remuneration.

  • What actually needs to go into a sustainable, fair, and competitive remuneration package.
  • How to move from desperate remuneration decisions to a practical framework for making confident, data-driven offers.
  • Why getting this right protects your profit, your team, and your own wellbeing and what to do if you need to course correct.

  • Practice owners ready to ditch people-pleasing and comparison and build a business that’s both generous and sustainable.

60. Salutogenesis: In Treatment & In Business25 Jan 202600:47:38

In Episode 60, Gerda explores a powerful concept that can transform both your clinical work and your business: Salutogenesis - the science (and art) of moving from 'dis-ease' to 'health-ease and how understanding and applying Salutogenesis can double your potential client base. 

Gerda breaks down what Salutogenesis is, why it matters, and how it applies far beyond the therapy room. You’ll hear why it’s simply not enough to just help clients reach an 'absence of symptoms'  and how aiming for true wellbeing creates better outcomes, stronger retention, and a more sustainable, fulfilling business. 


In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

  • How applying this framework can reduce clinician burnout, improve client retention, and make your business more sustainable.
  • How to prevent 'flight to health' (when clients exit therapy too soon) and instead facilitate lasting change, not just symptom relief.
  • The untapped opportunity in prevention and how to ethically expand your impact (and your market) beyond those in crisis.


Who This Episode Is For:

  • Clinicians and practice owners who want to do more than just treat symptoms and are ready to lead clients (and themselves) toward real, sustainable wellbeing.
  • Allied health professionals interested in prevention, positive psychology, and building a business that stands out for all the right reasons.
  • Practice owners who want a new lens for growth, sustainability, and personal fulfilment.

In Episode 59, Gerda dives into something every clinician cares about, being how to deliver a 10/10 client session - every single time.

This is important because although the actual session is only one part of the broader client experience and client journey, it’s the part that the client remembers most saliently.

58. Busting the 10 Biggest Myths about Group Private Practice - PART 214 Jan 202600:37:59

In Episode 58, Gerda continues busting the 10 Biggest Myths about group private practice.

If Part 1 in Episode 57 stirred something for you, then get ready because these next five myths go even deeper. This episode is less about spreadsheets and structures, and a lot more about identity, confidence, leadership, and the permission you give yourself (or don’t give yourself) to build a group practice that actually works.

Gerda unpacks the beliefs that keep capable clinicians playing small, choosing “safe” options that quietly cap their growth, and hesitating because of fear, imposter syndrome, or the judgment of others. And she replaces those myths with what she knows to be true from years of running two group practices and mentoring hundreds of group practice owners.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

  • The belief that keeps smart clinicians “waiting until they’re ready” and what actually creates readiness.
  • The popular model choice that feels safer at the start but which can quietly limit stability and growth later.
  • Why “staff drama” isn’t usually about staff and what changes when leadership gets clearer and more consistent.
  • The personality story that stops a lot of capable owners before they even start (even though it’s not a real barrier).
  • The unspoken judgment that makes people shrink their vision and how to lead anyway, without apologising.

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Clinicians thinking about starting a group practice but are feeling held back by self-doubt or fear.
  • Group practice owners who want to grow sustainably, but feel stuck in comfort-based decisions.

Tune in for an honest, empowering conversation that will challenge outdated beliefs and help you step into the next level of leadership so you can build a practice you can’t stop smiling about.

Why? Because right now there is so much misinformation floating around in the allied health industry and it’s keeping incredibly capable clinicians and practice owners stuck, overwhelmed, and on track to burnout.

If you’ve ever considered building a group practice (or you’re already in one and quietly thinking, what the hell have I done?) then this episode will help you separate myth from reality. 

Gerda shares what she knows to be true after running her own two group practices and mentoring hundreds of group practice owners over the past decade.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

  • The myth about practice owners and money that keeps the industry divided and what’s actually going on behind the scenes.
  • The common contracting myth that creates resentment and the mindset antidote to fix it.
  • The belief about risk that keeps practices small and owners stressed.
  • The story owners tell themselves about burnout and why it’s not inevitable.
  • The fear of losing control and what control actually becomes as you grow.

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Clinicians thinking about starting or joining a group private practice and wanting the truth (not the rumours).
  • Group practice owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’re constantly on the brink of burnout.
  • Practice owners who want to grow sustainably, without losing quality, control, or their wellbeing.

Tune in for an honest, no-fluff conversation that will challenge what you’ve been told and help you build a group practice you can’t stop smiling about.
