Small Business of the Year 2025 – Top 3 – Up to 10 employees

Your thoughts on winning the CanadianSME National Business Award

I was with my husband when I found out. And the first thing that came back to me was the memory of opening Simply Smile, passionate about building a clinic where everybody could feel included.

This award belongs to my team, who give every patient their full attention. It belongs to our partners at AutismBC and Mom2Mom. And it belongs to our patients, especially the ones who had not seen a hygienist in years and trusted us anyway.

Five years ago, this was just a belief. Today it is a clinic. There is still so much work ahead.

A special message or advice to small business owners

Keep pushing yourself. Do not be afraid of trying and learning new technology or skills. Adapt them to your practice in your own way, to improve productivity and your relationships with the people you serve.

Many people thought my business would not survive because of the limited patient production from a one-patient model. But I was inspired by fellow hygienists who dedicated their careers to serving neurodivergent communities at BC Children’s Hospital. Listening to them describe how little access this population still has given me the courage to reach out to AutismBC.
