About Us
Get To Know Zanda
Zanda is the complete practice management system that helps health practices thrive.
Running a practice is unique. That’s why we’ve built Zanda.
It’s the system that ties everything together, helping your practice find its rhythm — so you can run your practice on your terms.
THE ZANDA DIFFERENCE
Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners
We’ve been in your shoes, so we know how personal your practice is.
Zanda started after our co-founder, Damien, and his wife opened their private psychology practice and found other platforms lacking the features needed to reduce admin time and provide a great experience for clients, admin teams, and practitioners. Of course, there’s more to this story, but it’s safe to say we know what it’s like to run health practices, and Zanda is designed to make everything easier.
We believe in your capabilities and don’t want you to slow down for anything. That’s why we take care of whatever is holding you back. The soul of your business is you, and that’s who we support.
Buzz Through Busy Work
Practice owners, practitioners, and admin teams love Zanda because it helps them be more efficient and, most importantly, more effective.
Zanda tackles the buzz, buzz, busy work of practice management by connecting every aspect into one seamless platform, freeing up your time and energy. By managing the administrative load, Zanda enables you to work smarter, achieve more, and make the most of your day – whether that’s more focused time with clients, growing your practice, or spending more time with family.
Our goal is to help balance your practice and personal life by simplifying the admin that clutters your day.
Software With Soul
Zanda was created by people who genuinely care about the success of your health practice. We break down complex health management with empathy and real support. Our team is made up of people who understand the joys and challenges of running a practice, and we pride ourselves on our personal service.
Our approach is rooted in authenticity, turning empathy into meaningful action that makes your day easier. And our team is here to help you… every step of the way.

Our all-in-one platform empowers practitioners and admin teams with the tools to manage their practice smoothly. We remove the guesswork and let you tailor Zanda to fit your needs. From communications to billing, practice operations manuals to telehealth, Zanda covers it all.
Best of all, you don’t need to be a tech expert to use Zanda. It’s designed to be intuitive and user-friendly – perfect for those who don’t live and breathe technology!

How did Zanda Come to Be?
Brothers Paul Adler and Damien Adler are the founding team behind Zanda.
Back in 2010, Damien was running a psychology clinic with his wife and found the software options limiting. He wanted to grow the practice and reduce the administration overhead, but was constantly switching between multiple systems. Seeking a better solution, he reached out to Paul, who brought his technology expertise, and together, they took on the challenge of building a more effective practice management system.
They began with the software Damien’s clinic had been using—a simple system called “Pencil Me In”—and rebuilt it from the ground up, adding features designed to help practices better serve their patients. Naming it “Power Diary,” they combined Damien’s experience in running and growing a successful health practice with Paul’s 25 years of expertise in managing and scaling technology projects, building the company, customer by customer.
Late in 2024, the name was changed from “Power Diary” to “Zanda” to reflect the breadth of practice management features and commitment to covering everything from “Z” to “A” and back again. Of course, the team is much larger now with a strong team of developers, customer support, product experts, and more – all passionate about fulfilling the Zanda vision to make health practice management easy and enjoyable.
