TSAHP Podcast - EP.20 - Margeaux Bartholomew-Carle

In Episode 20 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I’m joined by Margeaux Bartholomew-Carle, an occupational therapist and founder of Ardant, a virtual OT practice offering flexible, client-first support across Australia. Margeaux shares her path from clinician to business owner, driven by a passion for doing things differently, prioritising autonomy, genuine connection and meaningful impact over traditional hierarchies. She opens up about the early challenges of building a startup, the importance of delegation and how coaching and a strong professional network helped her grow. We explore how Ardant fosters a team culture based on mutual respect, connects clients with the right practitioner (not just the closest) and creates space for OTs to reclaim their time, boost income and spark creativity. This episode is full of honest lessons on leadership, boundaries and starting before you feel ready, perfect for any allied health professional looking to shape a more fulfilling and flexible career.
