    Episode 27: Doreen Schwegler – Set Goals and Stick at Your Marketing

    Successful Practitioners don’t just suddenly appear; they evolve. Particularly when starting out, the first three to five years can seem overwhelming and an uphill push.


    In this podcast, Doreen Schwegler shares her journey to success and clinical pearls of wisdom.


    Doreen is a Naturopath, Medical Scientist, Natural Fertility Specialist, published Author, Researcher and International Presenter who has been helping clients since 1989. Over the past 30 years, she has seen daily mini-miracles by helping people regain health and balance in their lives in a multidisciplinary clinic. But it wasn’t always this way. She started from home with massage and a screen in her home to separate the space where she saw clients from her children.

    Episode 26: Marianne and Eric Fernance - Jump on Board. No One Expects You to be Perfect.

    Have you been wondering whether your Patient Management System software works for you? Are you looking to get a software system to help make your practice more simple?


    If you answered yes, we suggest you jump on board the latest Standing on the Shoulders of Giants podcast and join Eric and Marianne Fernance for an insightful discussion on SimpleClinic and how it can best serve you in your Practice!


    SimpleClinic is a patient management system (PMS) that makes clinic simple. SimpleClinic was created by Eric and Marianne Fernance when they saw that there wasn’t an all-inclusive PMS suitable for the specific requirements of Naturopaths, Nutritionists and Herbalists (“Nats, Nuts and Herbies”). Marianne, a Nat and Herbie herself, was frustrated that there wasn’t a system that had all the aspects she needed to run her business seamlessly. So she asked her husband Eric, a software developer, to create her one; and it grew to be now, the preferred PMS of Practitioners throughout Australia and New Zealand…and soon to be the U.S.
