In this episode, Dr. Katie from Making Strides for Animal Chiropractic shares what she learned from teaching her very first Clinical Essentials course, a program designed to help animal chiropractors grow both their clinical confidence and their business skills.

She talks about how important it is not to feel alone in practice, how to keep refining your hands-on techniques, and how to connect with the clients who truly value what you do. You’ll also hear about practical tools like muscle palpation and evaluation methods, plus real-world tips for showing owners the results of great chiropractic care.

Dr. Katie doesn’t shy away from the business side either. She digs into how to price your services, recognize your ideal (and not-so-ideal) clients, and define what success really looks like for you.
