In Episode 33 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I’m joined by Raquel Baptista, occupational therapist and founder of the Centre for Developing Children. Raquel shares her journey from completing her Masters in 2022 to opening a paediatric and neurodevelopmental clinic just two years later. She talks about starting out mobile, building her first clinic with a sensory gym, and the lessons of early business ownership from leases and referrals to social media and growing a team. Raquel also reflects on mentorship, balance, and the mindset shifts that guide her vision. An inspiring listen for practitioners starting out or ready to grow with purpose.
