Best part of your job?
Honestly, there are so many! Seeing the changes and improvements patients experience while under care at the clinic, chatting with all of the familiar faces that come in to the clinic everyday, playing with the little kiddos who love to hang out with us at reception – working with such a great team is a bonus too!
Biggest lesson Chiropractic has taught you?
That Chiropractic is for everyone, and you don’t necessarily need to be in pain or suffer from a specific ailment to reap the benefits of chiropractic care.
Day off pastime:
Going for a coffee, meeting friends, just being out and about in the sunshine as much as possible.

The Mondo berry smoothie from Whole Foods is so good.

It’s never set in stone but usually involves getting ready for work, breakfast, maybe a show with breakfast if there’s time, and then I walk or cycle to work grabbing a coffee on the way.
