During the early days of COVID-19, longtime naturopathic doctor Julie Durnan launched Vancouver-based Ginger Desk out of her own integrative health clinic.
The idea came to Durnan after she saw some of her colleagues in the health and wellness space struggle when they retreated from their brick-and-mortar operations and attempted to continue providing services remotely without front desk staff or a clinic.
“They very quickly realized that it was next to impossible to run a business and a practice on their own,” Durnan, Ginger Desk’s founder and CEO, told BetaKit in an exclusive interview.
