What if your clinic felt more like a tea party than a therapy office? That's exactly where Andrea Valliere started with her clinic, Road to Hana. 

In this episode of Radio Front Desk, Denzil sits down with Andrea to explore how looking beyond healthcare to hospitality, design, and even brands like Disney and Bumble helped her reimagine what a clinic could be. With little luxuries like seasonal drink menus and cozy blankets, Andrea explains how she thinks like a host (not a practitioner), and why creating comfort and delight can be just as healing as the therapy itself.

What You’ll Learn

• How to design a therapy or wellness space that supports neurodivergent and anxious clients
• What clinic owners can learn from Disney’s attention to detail and Bumble’s culture of care
• Why designing from the client’s perspective transforms experience and retention
•  How small hospitality touches like tea, textures, and colour can help you stand out
