Let’s meet Bev, our practice manager and often the first person you will interact with.

Bev has 34 years experience across Dental, Medical, and Physiotherapy administration—so there’s not much she hasn’t seen (or solved).

Born and bred in Geraldine, Bev prides herself on strong community values, practical know how, and a people first approach to healthcare.

Married with two children—one studying to be a dentist and the other about to start a building apprenticeship.

Bev is equally at home juggling family life and keeping a busy practice running smoothly.

Outside of work, she’s a fan of crime novels, women’s health and wellbeing, and finding small ways to make a positive difference in someone’s day. Helping people isn’t just part of the job for Bev—it’s what she genuinely loves to do.

Bev is a very important member of our team. We appreciate all she does for us with keeping the practice running smoothly.

George and Liz.

What an exciting start to 2026!!!

Meet Olivia – Our New Physiotherapist!

I’m really excited to be joining the team at Geraldine Physiotherapy.

I’ve been working as a physiotherapist for the past five years, after completing a BSc in Sport Science and an MSc in Physiotherapy in the UK.

Since then, I’ve also undertaken postgraduate studies specialising in the lower limb, which I’m particularly passionate about.

I moved to New Zealand just over a year ago, spending most of that time in Nelson before making the move to Fairlie a few months ago.

Outside of work, I’m always looking for ways to stay active — whether it’s playing football, running, taking on triathlons, or pushing myself at CrossFit.

I’m really looking forward to getting to know everyone here at Geraldine Physiotherapy and working with all of our lovely clients to help them achieve their goals!

Both Liz and I are excited to have a new team member.

Please contact us if you would like to see Olivia for an appointment.

George.

Most of us are back on board tomorrow in the clinic for the start of 2026.

We hope everyone had a safe and lovely Christmas and happy new year.

We are looking forward to 2026, as we have a new staff member and some new ideas for 2026.

Ps: I’m not back until the end of the month. Currently spending some quality time with my daughter in chilly Austria, -9 degrees today, -12 for the rest if the week!!

A big thank you to all the people who have donated money, and purchased books and clothes in 2025 in support of our daughter Neve.

Neve is in the New Zealand under 16 Alpine Ski Team again and leaves for Austria to train and race on December 31st.

We are very proud of her for achieving this as it’s a very competitive sport.

Chase your dreams Neve!! 🥰🥰,

Well done team Geraldine Physiotherapy. A nice get together at the Shearer’s Quarters for a meal and mini golf. Super fun afternoon and we all looked great in Christmas dress up.
