In this episode, I sit down with one of our upcoming Business of Practice Conference presenters to explore a deeper, more philosophical layer of practice — one that often gets overlooked in conversations about growth and success

We talk about the concept of the Dan Tien — traditionally understood as the centre of energy in the body — and what it means when applied to business, decision-making, and the way we show up in practice

This conversation moves beyond systems and strategy. It explores where your practice actually comes from

Because underneath the structure of any clinic — the marketing, the operations, the patient numbers — there’s something more fundamental driving it all

In this episode we discuss:

  • The concept of the Dan Tien and how it translates into business and practice 
  • Why stability and groundedness are essential for long-term success 
  • How practitioners can lose their centre — and what that looks like in real terms 
  • The relationship between internal state and external outcomes in practice 
  • Why growth without grounding often leads to instability 

This conversation offers a different perspective on what it means to build a sustainable practice — not just from the outside in, but from the inside out

🎤 About the Guest

Peter Scarselletti brings a unique and deeply considered perspective to clinical practice, integrating the principles of traditional East Asian medicine with the realities of modern-day practice

With extensive experience as a practitioner, educator and mentor, Peter has spent years exploring how foundational concepts — often understood in a purely clinical context — can be applied more broadly to the way practitioners think, make decisions, and build their work

His approach goes beyond technique and protocol, focusing on orientation — how practitioners position themselves in their practice, how they respond to pressure and how they maintain clarity in the face of complexity

Peter is particularly known for his ability to translate classical ideas, such as the concept of the Dan Tien, into practical insights that directly impact how practitioners operate day to day

Through his teaching and clinical work, he challenges practitioners to move beyond reactive, surface-level approaches and instead develop a more grounded, stable, and intentional way of working
