In Episode 12 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I’m joined by Lizzie Dawson, an exercise physiologist, multi-business owner, and industry mentor, who shares her journey from working in weight management and chronic disease to founding Kids Heart Pilates, Northside Allied Health, and an education platform. Lizzie explains how her early experiences shaped her movement-based approach for children and how a stroke in 2015 forced her to rethink leadership, delegation, and work-life balance. She dives into the challenges of scaling multiple businesses, the importance of marketing, and the mindset shifts required to embrace profitability and sustainability. Lizzie also shares her structured approach to business growth, team training, and branding while balancing her career with being a mum. Her insights into leadership and business systems offer valuable lessons for allied health practitioners looking to expand their impact without sacrificing personal well-being.
