Leading a dental practice is one of the hardest jobs there is.

You are managing a clinical team, running a business, making decisions under pressure, handling people issues, and trying to grow, often all at once. Most practice owners and managers do this without any dedicated support for themselves as leaders.

That is where coaching changes everything. It gives you a dedicated space to think clearly, work through the real challenges, and develop the leadership skills that make everything else easier.

Our three coaches bring very different backgrounds, dental practice expertise, legal and business leadership, and executive coaching, so you can find the right fit for where you are and what you need.

Find your coach

Space to think. Someone to think with.

  • Clarity on what is holding you back and what to do about it
  • Stronger leadership presence and communication skills
  • Confidence in difficult decisions and challenging conversations
  • A sounding board who genuinely understands your world
  • Greater resilience and a clearer sense of purpose
  • Better outcomes for your team, your patients, and yourself

Three coaches. Three different strengths.

Each of our coaches brings a distinct background and approach. Your free consultation helps us work out who is the best fit for you.

Ameena Basile

Practice Management & Leadership Coach

Ameena brings over 31 years of hands-on dental industry experience to her coaching, from the clinical floor to leading teams and building high-performing practice systems from the ground up. Her passion for practice management runs deep, shaped by watching her father close 35 years of dedicated medical service without the financial reward he deserved.

With a background in accounting, Ameena offers a financial perspective that sets her apart, pinpointing where money is being lost and where growth is being missed. She translates complex financials into plain language and practical action across hygiene performance, team alignment, and profitability.

If you want a coach who will roll up their sleeves, ask the right questions, and hold you accountable to real change, Ameena is your person.

Julie Parker

Leadership & Practice Success Coach

Julie started in dental at 17 and has spent 38 years working across every role a dental practice has, from dental assistant to practice owner. She was the first non-dentist to own a dental practice in Australia, and has since dedicated her career to helping others build practices they genuinely love leading.

Her coaching draws on NLP training, certification in the Being Framework, and three decades of real-world experience in team leadership, culture, communication, and business growth. Julie has a gift for seeing what is really going on beneath the surface, and for helping you find your own answers rather than simply being told what to do.

If you want a coach with warmth, depth, and the kind of insight that only comes from having truly been there, Julie is your person.

Executive & Leadership Coach

Charles Kovess is one of Australia's most experienced executive coaches, with a career spanning law, business, personal development, and leadership coaching.

He gets beneath the surface quickly, challenges assumptions thoughtfully, and creates the kind of clarity that most people have never experienced in a coaching conversation. His clients consistently describe sessions with Charles as genuinely transformative.

If you want a coach who operates at the highest level of leadership thinking and asks the questions nobody else thinks to ask, Charles is your person.

Ameena
★★★★★

Ameena is an incredible asset, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. With her help I have set up a brand new practice which has grown exponentially over the last 18 months.

Dr Alex DaviesPractice Owner, QLD
Julie
★★★★★

Julie is more than a practice consultant. She is a coach for all kinds of office issues, a teacher, and an advisor. As a dentist, I feel lucky to be guided and assisted by a person of this level of talent and kindness.

Dr Constantine NoerPractice Owner, VIC
Charles
★★★★★

Working with Charles is not like working with any coach I have had before. He asks the questions nobody else thinks to ask, and he waits for the real answer.

Common questions

That is exactly what the free consultation is for. We will spend 30 minutes getting to know what you are looking for, your goals, your challenges, your personality, and help you work out which coach is likely to be the best fit. There is no pressure to commit to anything in that conversation.
Most clients have sessions fortnightly or monthly, depending on what they are working through and their schedule. We find a rhythm that works for you. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes.
Most sessions are conducted via video call, which works extremely well for coaching. Depending on your location and your coach, in-person sessions may also be available. We will discuss this during your free consultation.
Not at all. Our coaching is well-suited to practice owners, principals, and practice managers alike. If you are in a leadership role, or stepping into one, coaching can make an enormous difference to how you lead, communicate, and make decisions.
There is no fixed commitment. Some clients work with a coach for three to six months on a specific goal. Others find ongoing coaching valuable and continue much longer. We start with a conversation, not a contract.
Yes, they are complementary but different. Consulting typically involves us coming in with expertise and telling you what to do. Coaching is more about helping you develop your own thinking, clarity, and capability. Many of our clients benefit from a combination of both. We can help you work out what would suit you best.
