The Doctor's Pivot Academy

Build your business in the right order, one click at a time.

A self-paced course with live calls for women physicians building a coaching, consulting, or course business. You'll go from an idea to a business someone can book and pay you through, and the waitlist gets in first when doors open in January 2027.

First access • Early bird pricing • Bonus 1:1 call with me

Woman physician reflecting on her next career chapter

You're not the only one

You got through med school. So why is a booking page this hard?

Because nobody handed you the order, or the instructions. You've got a course here, a webinar there, 3 experts telling you to start with your website, your niche, or your Instagram, and software you bought before you knew what it was for. And when you finally sit down to set something up, it takes 17 YouTube videos to find the one button you needed.

Hi, I'm Manuela Powell. I spent 20 years as a cancer surgeon, and I got stuck in exactly the same place when I started my coaching business. The Academy is what I wish someone had given me: every step in order, and every piece of tech walked through click by click.

Is this you?

Who the Academy is for

This is for you if:

  • You've decided to build a coaching, consulting, or course business
  • You're still practicing, working part-time, locums, or already out of clinical work
  • You want to understand how your business works, so you can run it yourself
  • You want to know exactly what to do next, and how to do it

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You're still deciding whether to start a business at all
  • You're looking for a bro marketing course or a way to grow a big audience fast
  • You'd rather keep researching than start building
  • You'd rather have someone build the whole thing for you (that's the Concierge)

WHAT'S INSIDE

The PIVOT Framework

5 steps in order, from deciding what you're building to being ready for your first client.

P

Prepare

Start thinking like a business owner, with a realistic timeline that fits around the rest of your life.

I

Identify

Pick who you help, get specific enough that she recognizes herself, and know you can change it later.

V

Value

What you sell, what you charge, and how many clients your actual week can hold.

O

Open

The tech set up click by click, plus agreements, scope of practice, and what happens from a client's first session to her last.

T

Tell

Your landing page, a freebie worth signing up for, a welcome sequence, and the one marketing channel that fits how you like to spend your time.

+

But wait, there's more

Live calls with me, a client-ready checklist that runs through every module, Claude set up as your AI business assistant, and optional done-for-you add-ons if you want me to take a piece off your plate.

Why join now

What the waitlist gets you

Joining is free, and you can leave the list anytime.

First Access

You'll hear the moment enrollment opens, before it's announced anywhere else.

Early Bird Pricing

A lower price than the public launch, only for the waitlist.

Bonus 1:1 Call

A private call with me to look at your business and figure out what to tackle first.

"I was wasting hours online watching tutorials on how to build a webpage and develop email funnels, all things that were completely foreign to me and I had no interest in learning. Manuela's all-inclusive, done-for-you package was exactly what I needed."

Rather have the whole thing built for you? That's the Concierge.

In 90 days, I set up every piece of your business for you, with weekly 1:1 coaching the whole way.

Doors open January 2027

Save your spot.

By the end, you'll have an offer with a price on it, a landing page you'd happily send to a colleague, a booking link that works, and a way for clients to pay you. You'll build every piece yourself, one step at a time, with me on live calls whenever you get stuck.

I can't wait to see what you build.
