Michelle Pritchard

If you’re a dental or specialist practice owner doing everything and running on empty, you’re not alone. You didn’t start your practice to spend nights fixing rosters, chasing invoices, or putting out fires.
 Yet somehow, it’s all landed on your plate. The pressure is constant. The team changes keep coming. Patients drift.
 And the part of your work you once loved most is getting lost in the noise. It doesn’t have to stay that way. I’m Michelle Pritchard — Dental and Specialist Practice Consultant, Speaker, and Podcast Host, and founder of Aligned Business Consulting. For over 25 years, I’ve helped practice owners across Australia simplify operations, strengthen leadership, and lift profitability through systems that make sense - not stress. How I help:
 • Diagnose the issues – clarity replaces guesswork
 • Design a plan that fits – tailored systems built around your goals and your people
 • Coach your team to embed change – so progress becomes lasting, not fleeting The result? 
A practice that runs smoothly - even when you’re not there.
A team that works with confidence.
And the space to focus again on patients, growth, and the kind of dentistry you actually enjoy. Why me?
 I co-owned a technology-driven dental practice that we built from the ground up and successfully sold in 2015.
Since then, I’ve led both medical and orthodontic clinics and now work with owners who want clarity, structure, and sustainable growth. What clients say:
 “Michelle took our practice to another level clinically and financially. From then, it has continued to grow with the systems she put in place.”
 – R. Patel, Co-Owner, Peel Orthodontics “Her advice has been invaluable — streamlined operations, improved patient satisfaction, and a stronger business overall.”
 – D. Harris, Owner, Harris Orthodontics “Michelle has helped our business from the beginning. We couldn’t have done it without her expertise and support.”
 – T. Laue, Co-Owner, Inspire Orthodontics I also speak at leading industry events, including the Australian Dental Congress 2025, and host the podcast Dental Success: Beyond Chairside, where I share practical strategies and real stories from within the profession. If your practice feels stuck, let’s talk. 
In 20 minutes, I’ll help you pinpoint one area that’s holding your business back - whether we work together or not. E:| michelle@alignedbusinessconsulting.com.au
