- Ashley
"This course really helps to cement how you can take your learnings and put them into practice especially as a business owner and how to get referrals for your new set of skills."
 
– Jenny
"Melissa's business course is a fantastic stepping stone in supporting Physiotherapists transitioning to the area of pelvic health. She provides a safe and encouraging environment to share and discuss ideas and ways to make this work in your setting. She provides such useful insight into considering development not just from a clinical aspect but also on a business level too. This is the first course that I have ever attended that has discussed both in a highly motivating way. A really excellent course, thank you Melissa."
