Owning and managing 4 independent practices has taught her the value of chiropractic mixed with the importance of understanding small businesses.
After systematising the business processes within her own practices, Melissa began to inspire Chiropractors and Chiropractic Assistants to fall in love with their Front Desk. In any Chiropractic Office the front desk team is the gateway for your clients, families and wider community.
Melissa speaks and teaches throughout Europe, inspiring Chiropractors to fall in love with life. She breaks down the complex world of running a practice and everyday life into simple steps that can be taken wherever you are on your journey in life.
Melissa loves family, friends and relationships with people. She is a wife to Rob, and mum to Bonnie, Isaac, Alex, Noah, Poppy & Ava (oh, and Lulu). She is a champion for all things chiropractic and living life from the inside out.Wendy O'Brien
