Defining the Gap
Healthcare professionals were being asked to navigate practice ownership without clear, integrated guidance.
Our response
Foundations for Practice was created in response to a gap we repeatedly observed in Canadian practice. Healthcare professionals were being asked to navigate ownership while simultaneously meeting regulatory requirements and tax obligations—often without clear guidance.
The education offered here is grounded in lived experience—from regulatory compliance to financial structure. Our goal is clarity: helping you build practices that are professionally sound and personally sustainable.
N°1. OUR EXPERIENCE
The Experience Behind Foundations for Practice
From solo practice to group sustainability.
Foundations for Practice was founded by Trish Morris, MA, Registered Psychotherapist. With more than 27 years of business ownership and leadership experience, including over 15 years as a healthcare professional, she has owned and operated a solo private practice, owned a group private practice, and served as Chief Executive Officer of a non-profit mental health practice.
Â
Those experiences revealed that building a successful private practice requires far more than professional expertise. Every practice, regardless of its size, depends on thoughtful leadership, sound business decisions, financial stewardship, ethical responsibility, and systems that support both professionals and the people they serve.
Â
Foundations for Practice was created to provide the practical business education many healthcare professionals never receive during their professional training. Every course, assessment, and resource is grounded in real-world experience building, leading, and sustaining professional practices, with the goal of helping practice owners build businesses that are ethical, sustainable, and rewarding to lead.
Our education reflects the practical realities of Canadian practice ownership, including regulatory compliance, privacy requirements, financial structure, documentation systems, and long-term sustainability.
