It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Dr Danielle Slade from Zenkai, Complete Recovery of Health this week. Danielle operates her business from the picturesque town of Woodend in Victoria (home of some yummy vanilla slice!) and is kept busy with her alternative medicine business and two absolutely gorgeous littlies!
1. Tell us a little about yourself and your business... Mother. Wife. Acupuncturist. Wants to learn how to make Meatloaf, but will never eat it.
2. How did your business begin? As a diabetic, diagnosed age 3, my mum used to take me to alternative therapists - particularly naturopaths. I saw results and alternative healing at a young age and liked it. I've always had an interest in alternative medicine, and feel drawn to it. I chose TCM in particular because I had an interest in it, in the theories and traditions passed through the ages, and because I felt it was a highly regarded profession within the field of traditional healing.
It first began with a NEIS grant, after graduating from University, the business operated for 13 years [whilst having a major car accident, getting married, and giving birth to my 2 children], Recently I won the Powercor-Young Business Person of The Year 2011 sponsored by Telstra.
3. The bits I love... I truly love it all. I feel immense fulfillment in all aspects of my work. Just a couple of weeks ago I had a surprise visit from a couple I assisted in achieving natural fertility and had the opportunity to meet their little miracle… It was all worth it.
4. The bits I not-so-love... The long days can be a bit hard, especially for my two children Monet 2 & Diesel 5yrs. Some days my last appointment isn’t until 9pm and I miss our family meal times, but luckily I have my supportive husband Steve, who often takes on both roles.
5. Any tips for other Clever Mammas? I get my inspiration from reading about other mammas achievements and journeys. So keep sharing your stories and inspire those who listen.
6. Devonshire Tea versus Coffee & Cake??? Coffee (and lots of it) and Cake. My clients spoil me terribly with deliveries of coffee & cake from our village café. Just another great perk.
