What Practitioners Are Saying

We have practitioners that have been able to open up one to two sessions per week. That's one to two hours per week that we've gone from spending on admin to being able to facilitate two more one-hour sessions.
Jenni Salisbury, Owner
Practice Management Administration & Support Service
It's been a life changing experience for me. I don't know that I would have been able to do it with others.
Cassandra Gavel, Practice Owner / Clinician
GBY Therapy (Guided By You Therapy)
It has streamlined appointment management, reducing admin time and human error. The online practice manual ensures staff have quick access to policies and resources, supporting quality and consistency.
Sharan B., Development Manager
Mental Health Care
Zanda has played an essential role in evolving our service. We found it an easy system for the whole team to learn to use. We are a small charity and Zanda has streamlined our processes and saves us huge amounts of admin time. It gives us everything we need to organise our services and client data, and is easy to use for those less confident with tech systems.
Sarah
Once I'd put the work in to tailor it to my mobile dental practice, it became indispensable. I rely on it for everything.
Nateenee Langsanam, Founder & Oral Health Therapist
Dental on Wheels
A client emailed last-minute asking to switch to virtual. It was just so simple click a couple of buttons and the link was sent. There's so much freedom in that.
Miki Skinner, Founder / Owner
Caduceus Wellness
