00:00Hi, my name is Catherine Elliott and I'm the owner of BT35 Physiotherapy and Pilates. I
00:09graduated with a bachelor's in physiotherapy and I decided that my passion was in sports
00:14rehabilitation. So I went to do a master's in sports rehab and then from there I actually
00:22traveled to the U.S. working with world-renowned surgeons and recently just returned back to
00:27Kanyuri. So I decided to open my own practice as I've seen a gap in the market for one-on-one
00:33personalized care for the local community. So Go Succeed helped me firstly with my business
00:39plan. I went on to the Engage stage where I worked with Go Succeed with my website template
00:47and publishing my website and then from there I'm hoping maybe in the future I can refer
00:53back to them for growth of the company. I attended a few of the Go Succeed masterclasses
00:58mainly focusing on social media to assist with my business account. I went to a few
01:03of the social media seminars because I understand the importance of social media, starting out
01:07a new business and I got a great insight into how to you know do reels and certain things
01:14that I had never done before. So my plans for the future is to build a vibrant community
01:19here at Thomas Davis Centre providing classes and services from pediatrics through to the
01:25elderly population focusing on prenatal and mental health, women's health. I also was
01:31able to publish a website so it makes it easy and convenient for patients to book and then
01:36help me with my business plan so I have a vision of the future. I would highly recommend
01:40the Go Succeed service to anyone that's opening their own business. It's been a valuable input
01:45into starting my business.
01:49Go Succeed.
