Managing Director
- Diploma of Clinical Remedial Therapies
- Owned and managed the Green Apple since 1979
My vision has been to have an integrated service of allied health, natural therapy and fitness practices under one umbrella and it is all happening. For over 30 years I have identified people who could help with this vision, and the Green Apple team is the end result. Each team member has been specially chosen because of their attitude and passion.
My role is to identify community needs and our business direction to mentor staff, to interview new people and decide where to start, what to dom who to see and to remain current with my clinical massage practice.
