Reception & clinic team
The first voice you'll hear.
Reception is the first point of contact for every patient — and the people we trust to keep the clinic warm, organised and human.
Kira Peach
Reception
Coordinates patient communication, follow-ups and clinic logistics. Often the person who walks new patients through what to expect.
Leah Mahney
Relief reception
Covers reception across both clinics. Calm, organised, and the steady hand on busy days.
