Kim is a warm and welcoming presence at our clinic, always ready to greet and engage with our patients. She shares her role with Nick and takes great pleasure in creating a friendly atmosphere. Outside of work, Kim is deeply family-oriented and cherishes the time she spends with her family, particularly her grandchildren. She is also passionate about the outdoors and enjoys a variety of activities, including running, swimming, water skiing, and camping.

Nick is in charge of the day to day running of our two clinics so our clinicians can focus on what they do best! You may find him out the back keeping our clinic well stocked with everything it needs, working on reception, marketing, finances, or liaising with ACC, suppliers or patients.

In his spare time he enjoys playing & teaching the drums, traveling, or listening to a good podcast.
