I fell in love with chiropractic after visiting a chiropractor at Main Beach on Queensland's Gold Coast in 1978. His contagious passion for chiropractic led to my commencing study at the Sydney College of Chiropractic in 1979 where I graduated after completing 4 years full-time study.
I practiced in busy rural practices in Toowoomba and Roma in southern Queensland for 14 years before completing the circle and moving back to the Gold Coast in 1996. I am still passionate about chiropractic and have cared for Gold Coast people at Mermaid Robina Family Chiropractic for the past ten years.
I am married to Mary-Anne and have 4 teenage children at school and university.
I am a keen surfer and also enjoy bushwalking in the hinterland, all beach activities and reading - generally non-fiction.
I maintain active membership of several chiropractic associations and enjoy keeping up with the latest developments in chiropractic practice and research.
Wendy Tulip - Chiropractic Assistant
I was introduced to chiropractic when one of my teenage children had chiropractic care for a problem which improved dramatically as a result. I decided that this would be a great profession to be involved in and have trained to become a certified Chiropractic Assistant. I enjoy the professional development I gain at various workshops and seminars which I attend each year. Most of all, I enjoy meeting and helping to care for people as they receive care in our clinic.
Away from work I enjoy tennis, walking and spending time with my family. Originally from Canada, I've lived on the Gold Coast for 20 years and love the lifestyle!
Lorraine Stehr - Office Manager
I have been a part of this fabulous team for over 5 years and oversee the administrative side of the practice, as well as helping on the front desk. Previously I worked with chiropractic suppliers and was introduced to Mermaid Robina Family Chiropractic at that time. Mermaid Robina Family Chiropractic was always a friendly and pleasant practice to visit.
I am also a qualified remedial massage therapist and enjoy gardening, walking, swimming and creating sculptural art. I have two sons and three beautiful grandsons.
