Never Turn Down An Opportunity Because Your Tech Can’t Handle It
Systems partnership for wellness practices ready to scale.
Tech that evolves with your ambition. Growth without hitting a ceiling.
You’re Probably Considering Hiring Someone
At your stage of growth, that’s the logical next step. Here’s why most practices choose partnership instead:
Hiring In-House
- $85-130K first year
- 3-6 months before productive
- You still make all technical decisions
- They leave, you start over
Partnership
- $5-60K/year depending on needs
- Productive week 1
- I make technical decisions (12 years doing this)
- Month-to-month, walk away anytime
Hiring makes sense when you need 40+ hours/week of development work.
Before that, you get more value and less risk with partnership.
How It Actually Works
Before You Pay Anything: The Strategic Roadmap
Week 1-2, free:
I audit your current setup. Look at what’s broken, what’s slow, what’s missing. Figure out your business model and where you’re trying to grow.
Then I build you a roadmap showing exactly what improves when and why.
Your Month 1 might be: Fix your broken retreat booking flow, speed up your site, automate payment plan reminders.
Or it might be: Restructure your portal so clients stop asking “where do I find…?”, build group booking capability, fix your email sequences.
Depends on what YOUR practice needs most.
You see the plan before you invest a dollar. If it makes sense, we move forward. If not, you walk away with clarity.
Partnership Starts: Rolling Improvements
Full partnership means continuous evolution. Systems Care means reliable monitoring and support.
Month 1: Immediate Impact
Fix what’s broken. Speed up what’s slow. Automate something eating your time. Recover revenue you’re losing to payment failures or abandoned bookings.
Typical impact: Hours back in your week. Revenue recovered.
Not “someday after the big build.” Week 2-3.
Month 2+: Strategic Growth
Add capabilities you couldn’t offer before. Optimize what matters. Remove bottlenecks holding you back.
New features based on what your business needs that month. Not what I guessed you’d need in Month 1.
Your systems get better every month. Your client experience improves every month. Your capacity increases every month.
Not a build that stagnates. A partnership that compounds.

Every Month Without Proper Systems Costs You
- Hours every week on manual admin
- Revenue leaking through broken flows
- Opportunities you can’t say yes to
- Client experience stays static
- Tech debt compounding
- Gets more expensive to fix
Partnership is infrastructure investment, not expense.

Limited Partnership Availability
I keep my client roster small to ensure every partner gets proper attention. Work-life balance matters to me, which means quality over quantity for you.
The Reality Check
I hired a full-time debt collector for my grocery business in 2012.
She had loads of experience. Within months, she was writing off accounts because people just weren’t going to pay.
Over $10,000 in bad debt.
That’s when I realized: We didn’t have a collections problem. We had a systems problem.
Spent the next 3 years learning to code. Building custom automation. Replacing plugins one by one.
By 2015, the complete system went live.
Order processing dropped from 8 hours to 15 minutes. Payment collection hit 100%. Bad debt disappeared.
I could breathe again.
I didn’t build all of that in Month 1. I built it over 3 years as problems emerged. Each solution creating space for the next problem to become visible.
That’s how partnership works.
You don’t guess everything you’ll need in Month 1. You build what matters most right now. Then next month, you build what matters most then.
Systems that evolve with your business beat systems that stagnate.
What You’re Probably Asking
Can I start with Systems Care and upgrade later?
Yes. Most people start with Systems Care to test the relationship. When you’re ready for continuous improvement, you jump the queue. Three months of Systems Care credit toward your first partnership month.
What if I just need basic systems?
Then I’m probably overkill for you.
I specialize in operational systems for practices with real complexity. Booking, portals, automation, integration. The tech that actually runs your business. If you just need a brochure site with a contact form, I can recommend someone better suited.
What if you get hit by a bus?
Morbid, but fair.
You have complete access to everything. Any WordPress developer can maintain your site. I also document how things work.
Plus I have backup contractors I trust for critical issues.
How is this different from hiring someone on Upwork?
Upwork developers are hired guns. You get what you pay for. They build what you tell them to build. They move on to the next client.
Partnership is strategic. I tell you what to build based on 12 years of experience. I stick around. Your systems get better every month because I’m actively thinking about your business.
Big difference.
What if my business changes and I need something completely different?
That’s why partnership beats builds.
Your business will change. Your systems need to change with it.
Partnership means you can pivot fast. New revenue stream? We build the tech for it. Business model shift? We adapt the systems. Try doing that with a static build.
Do you work weekends?
No.
Emergency coverage is during Melbourne business hours (Mon-Fri, primarily 10am-1pm AEST, but I check in outside those hours for urgent issues). If your site breaks Saturday night, I’ll see it Sunday morning my time.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. 30 days notice. No questions asked.
You keep everything we built.
I’ll even help you transition to another developer if you want. No lock-in. No hostages.
Why USD pricing if you’re in Australia?
Most of my clients are US-based. USD is the standard for international services.
Australian clients pay the AUD equivalent at current exchange rates (currently about $1 USD = $1.49 AUD).

What Happens Next
You fill out the application
Tell me about your practice, what you do, current systems, what’s not working.
I send you a Strategic Roadmap (or tier recommendation)
Usually takes 3-5 business days. For partnership: shows exactly what would improve month by month. For Systems Care: explains what’s monitored and how support works.
You decide
If it makes sense, we start. If not, I’ll tell you why and point you in the right direction. No pressure. No sales calls. Just clear information.
Or email questions: janelle@thrivewellnesssystems.com
I respond within 24-48 hours during business hours (Monday-Friday, 10am-1pm AEST)
Remember
Your systems should work as hard as you do.
Right now they’re not. They’re broken, they’re slow, they’re limiting your growth.
Partnership fixes this. Not someday. Starting Month 1. Then it keeps getting better.
That’s what happens when you have someone who actually gives a damn about your systems getting better, not just getting built.
