Today, Meghan and Braden are joined by another fantastic guest, Dr. Julie Durnan; naturopathic doctor, entrepreneur, and visionary. Her clinic, Restoration Health Clinic, in North Vancouver, BC, is reinventing the patient experience for women and families. 

 

In Julie’s newest startup, Ginger Desk, she is changing the way clinicians operate by removing the barriers to growing their business by providing highly-experienced virtual assistants at a fraction of the cost of hiring staff.

 

A Virtual Assistant can be your gatekeeper between you as the practitioner and your patient — freeing up your time to see more patients and build your business towards its future state. In this episode, Julie shares the steps to take if you’re looking to hire a VA, how to know when you need a VA, the kinds of tasks that you can delegate to a VA, and how hiring a VA can benefit you.
