It’s just over 3 years since I treated my first patient at PhysioMatters and I wrote my first blog The Journey So Far.  It is fair to say the past 3 years have just flown by and I have learnt so much, both as a physiotherapist and as a business owner.  So it is with a mixture of excitement and sadness that it is time to hand over PhysioMatters to my colleague Joe McConnell (About Joe).

I can assure you I would not transfer the business over to just anyone.  In fact I have pretty high standards when it comes to my practice and my patients so you can be reassured that Joe will continue with those standards of care.  Joe and I have worked tirelessly over the past few months to ensure we achieve a seamless transition and we will continue to work together over the next month to guarantee that continuity of care.

It is not easy running your own business, especially in a different country but it has been an amazing experience and one I would not change.  It has challenged me, taking me constantly out of my comfort zone but I believe that has made me a better therapist as a result and it has certainly taught me some new business skills.

I have loved every minute of working with the Expat community in Amsterdam and I want to take this opportunity to thank my patients for their hard work and loyalty.  I know I am leaving you in great hands with Joe.  I look forward to watching Joe develop the practice and I promise Joe that I will do my best to quietly watch from the side lines and not interfere!
