Today officially marks 4 years as a physiotherapist. Every year I like to take some time to reflect on the past year as a way of recognizing and celebrating the growth, so here’s a little snippet.
•
I haven’t been one to stay in one place for long, so I’ve moved between multiple clinics. I’ve taken big jumps to advance and broaden my potential in the pursuit of the career, and ultimately the life, that I envision for myself.
This year is no different. In February, I made a move to a new clinic that aligned better with the practice and environment that I had always envisioned myself working, but what really hit different about this year compared to the rest is that this is the year that I decided to bet on myself and start my own business (a goal of mine since PT school).
Many things had to come together to make this dream a reality, and even though the weight of this goal played heavily on my fear of failure and the scarcity mindset that I had developed early on in my clinical practice, I knew that the opportunity was there.
When it came down to it, my passion, excitement, and determination won out, and with the support of family, friends, mentors and clients, Synergy Physiotherapy & Pilates was born.
So, I dove in headfirst, and if I’m being totally transparent, the process of starting and running my business was nothing I could’ve ever fully prepared for. There have been countless hours spent behind the scenes working, stressing, and trying to figure it all out as a one woman show, but I’m grateful to have some amazing mentors in my corner who have encouraged me along the way (Shoutout to Emma for all your wisdom and always challenging me to pursue my biggest goals & ambitions).
This year has taught me the value of asking for help (which anyone who knows me knows this is not exactly my M.O.), leaning on my support system and expanding my network. I’ve struggled to find the balance between it all most of the time, but the success and opportunities that have come about in the past year of practice has far exceeded my expectations and for that I am incredibly grateful.
Looking forward to continuing to support my clients and community.
