Michelle started Shimmin Consulting in 2012 out of a desire to coach and train others in practice processes and influential communication techniques. We consult with practices on their systems to promote training, growth and success in all areas. Michelle is passionate about communication and setting others up to succeed, and with her electric personality, knowledge and experience, our clients have seen unbelievable growth when applying the information and techniques that she so enthusiastically teaches. Shimmin Consulting specializes in efficient, streamlined management processes and leadership techniques, case acceptance, and increased conversion rates and we were the WINNER of the first ever Golden Molar Award for Best Orthodontic Consultant in 2023.

As our team has grown over the past 12 years Shimmin Consulting has been able to attract and retain the industry's top talent and build, for each one of our clients, a community of orthodontic consultants with specialized resources in all areas of the practice including financials guru's, virtual care coordinators, masters in treatment coordinating and the best clinical trainers in the industry.
