[NEW ERA AT INNATE CHIRO]
I’m sitting here (Dr Ali) writing this as a love letter to the Central Queensland community I called home off and on for 10 years. I am so totally thankful that I had the opportunity to be part of the Gladstone/Boyne/Tannum Community, and that so many of you supported me and chiropractic so wholeheartedly whilst I was there. Building a regional chiropractic practice for children and families that offers a level of care all of our city counterparts would expect was my dream, and I’d love to think we delivered it well!
I couldn’t have done it over the years without the amazing support of some wonderful team members, Anna, Dr Kate, Courtney M, Courtney L, Carla, Mandii, Dani, Natalie, Candice and soon to be Bianca. They have fully jumped on board with all of my crazy ideas, helped plan events and community outreach programs… This team have continued to assist me to serve all of you, even if it was late into the evening. I humbly acknowledge that Innate Chiro has been nothing without all of them playing their part.
As many of you know, my family and I relocated to Perth at the beginning of 2024, and I have been managing Innate Chiro from the other side of the country, whilst leaving the exceptional chiropractic care for the community in the very competent hands of Dr Kate for the last nearly 18 months. But it has come a time where I hand over the reigns to people who live close by, to offer Kate and the team some easier support when they need it, and so they can become part of a larger, wellness and family focused, chiropractic community.
Dr Kate is remaining at the practice, and for all of you, it will feel like not much has changed (except for the addition of HICAPS so you can now claim onsite). Dani is stepping back from the practice front desk as she is focusing on figuring out how 4 kids in school is so very crazy, and we will have Bianca beginning with us this week. Candice is here to stay, and Courtney L will be popping in from time to time as her commitments with the twins and Everett ebbs and flows.
Our new owners are Dr George and Dr Scott, with the majority of the practices they own and run in the Mackay and Central Queensland region. This means that if Kate goes on leave, or if one of our front desk staff is away, we will get coverage… less scrambling so we can show up and serve well. These guys are both exceptional chiropractors, fathers and absolutely love supporting regional communities to get the health that they deserve. I’m so glad we found such a great fit to be part of the Innate Chiro Story. Dr George and Dr Scott already have a practice they own in Biloela, which means there will be a slight location change for our upcoming Biloela clinics. This is an exciting development that means Dr Kate doesn’t have to lug a chiro table across the range in her car! Hooray! The girls will be in touch prior to her first trip to the new location to make sure everyone knows where to go.
As many of you know, we have much family in the region, so I will be back from time to time, and no doubt I’ll be throwing out hugs left, right and centre. This isn’t the end of the Wellness and Vitalistic Chiropractic Story for our community here in Gladdy, it’s just the beginning of a new journey, and one I can’t wait to watch from the other side of the world.
Much love, Ali.xo
