Twenty-five years ago, I was where you might be today—exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning if running a dental practice was worth it. Despite my clinical skills, I was buried in 60-hour weeks, juggling constant crises, and missing out on time with my family.

My wake-up call came during my daughter’s school play. I was physically there but mentally stuck in tomorrow’s schedule, cash flow worries, and staffing problems. That’s when it hit me—I wasn’t just a dentist. I was a business owner who didn’t know how to run a business.

So, I dedicated the next two years to learning everything about systems, leadership, and growth. I studied top-performing practices, hired mentors, and tested every idea myself. Not everything worked—like the time a “corporate-style” system nearly caused a staff revolt—but each failure brought me closer to what truly drives success in dentistry.

Over time, my practice transformed. Within seven years, it grew into an 8-figure operation that ran smoothly without me. I could take month-long vacations, dive into my passion for integrative health, and watch my team and patients thrive—all while having the freedom I’d dreamed of.

What truly inspires me now is helping other dentists achieve the same. There’s nothing like hearing from a client who just took their first stress-free vacation or doubled their revenue while working fewer hours. That’s why I built the Integrative Dentist Success Academy—to help you skip the trial and error and fast-track your path to a thriving, freedom-driven practice.
