Dr. Julie Durnan is a dual entrepreneur doing something pretty unique: she’s a licensed naturopathic physician who’s opened not one, but two businesses.

The first was a naturopathic clinic in North Vancouver. Then, when practitioners retreated online during the pandemic, she launched a second business - Ginger Desk - a virtual assistant company now serving hundreds of clinics.

In this episode, Denzil talks to Julie about balancing the demands of business ownership, improving the patient journey through admin, advocating for women and her staff, and her creative strategies for efficient and successful clinics.

Dr. Julie Durnan is the Founder and CEO of Ginger Desk - virtual administrative assistants for health practitioners. Ginger Desk hires, trains, and manages industry-trained medical office assistants and matches these Virtual Assistants (VAs) to health practitioners remotely. Their ultimate goal is to empower solo practitioners and clinic owners to achieve administrative freedom.

Dr. Julie Durnan has founded two integrative health clinics and currently operates one of them with a team of 10 practitioners. Over nearly 20 years, she has been deeply involved in running clinics and maintaining a private naturopathic medical practice. She is a community builder and a fierce advocate for supporting women who want to build their careers, focus on their families, and make health services more accessible for all.
