Meet Sandie Thorkeldsen, Ellevate Networking Mentor

My name is Sandie Thorkeldsen and I am a Chiropractor in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

I work at Afon House Chiropractic Clinic in Rollestone Street here in Salisbury, Wiltshire. My job is to make your body do what you want it to do; so that it doesn’t slow you down or hurt you.

My business is very ‘hands-on’ and ‘people-centred’. Patients have to like and trust their chiropractor, so impersonal advertising in telephone directories and newspapers doesn’t work. We have to ‘get out there’ and meet people. Our new patients come from patient-referrals and from networking.

The focus of networking groups differs from group to group though they all have an element of support and business referral.

Ellevate Networking focuses on business support. Being composed of women (we talk more openly; less ego) who have started and now run their own businesses, we have a lot of common ground with similar challenges.

Having been a member of Ellevate Networking since its inception in 2005, I have now been given the honour of being a Networking Mentor. This gives me the opportunity to use my experience in Networking to help new members to get the most out of the meetings they go to.
