Allied Health Business Brilliance

Once again, we have the great pleasure of speaking with Everbility’s co-founders, Angela Mariani and Mani Batra—two leaders who bring equal parts heart, technical brilliance, and lived experience to the AI conversation in Allied Health. 

In this episode, we explore how Everbility has evolved far beyond “AI scribes,” now supporting clinicians across documentation, scheduling, case management, and workflow optimisation. Angela and Mani share the personal and professional stories that shaped the platform, the global momentum behind its adoption, and what’s coming next for AI in Allied Health workplaces. This is an energising, honest look at burnout, workflow realities, technological change, and the future of clinical work. 

Topics covered on beyond AI Scribes, burnout, & the future of Allied Health workflows: 

• The origin of Everbility – Built from lived experience, compassion fatigue, and a determination to fix a broken workflow system. 
• Why clinicians are burnt out — and how AI can help. Reducing admin, shortening turnaround times, and eliminating the “pajama hours” no one talks about. 
• What AI will demand of future workplaces – From prompt literacy to responsible use, global compliance, and new expectations of efficiency. 
• Where Everbility is heading next – Agentic workflows, scheduling intelligence, integrations, and tools that go far beyond documentation.

In this thoughtful conversation, Cathy Love is joined by Belinda McDonald, founder of NeuroSLP, to explore what it really takes to run a small-but-mighty sole trader practice in today’s Allied Health landscape. Drawing on more than 35 years as a Speech Pathologist supporting adults with neurological conditions, Belinda reflects on the seasons of her career and the personal experiences that shaped her shift from public health to private Allied Health business.

Belinda’s insights are relatable, compassionate and deeply practical—offering guidance for business owners navigating uncertainty while still showing up with purpose and courage.

In this rerun solo episode, Cathy Love thinks out loud with Allied Health business owners about a trend many are now feeling: waitlists that aren’t what they seem. She explores why waitlists are dissolving, what your numbers are really telling you, and why relying on word of mouth alone is becoming an increasingly risky marketing strategy. 

Cathy also walks through a practical way to profile and prioritise your referrers (gold, silver, bronze), how to nurture those relationships as genuine two-way partnerships, and why now is the time to systemise your marketing so you’re not reinventing the wheel every six months. It’s a grounded, strategic conversation designed to help you steady demand, protect your revenue, and think more like a Director when it comes to referrals and marketing. 

Topics covered on disappearing waitlists, referrals & marketing systems 

• Disappearing waitlists – Why a “waitlist of 100” might really be 25 people ready to go, and how funding shifts, more providers and foundational supports are changing demand. 
• Reading your marketing numbers – Using gateway metrics (enquiries, conversions to waitlist, conversions to sessions) to understand what’s actually working. 
• Beyond word of mouth – The growing risk of relying solely on reputation and a single referrer, and why you need diversified channels and clearer referral data.
