The Fulfilment of Transforming Lives
For Lisa, the most fulfilling aspect of being a Chiropractic Assistant is witnessing the dramatic improvements in patients’ health. Seeing individuals regain their health brings her immense joy. Lisa is passionate about playing a role in her patients’ personal health journeys and empowering them to live joyful and productive lives.
Outside of work, Lisa cherishes spending time with her family and friends and is happily married to Stuart and together they have three adult children and five grandchildren.
To stay healthy Lisa incorporates regular Chiropractic care with Dr Luke, keeps a balanced diet and combines resistance training, high-intensity interval training and yoga to stay fit. Lisa also enjoys exploring nature through long beach or bush walks and unwinds by practicing sewing, knitting or crochet in the evenings.
Lisa looks forward to seeing you in the practice!
Justine Cropp
Chiropractic Assistant
For many years Justine wanted to work in the natural health sector. She loves talking to people and is always interested in learning about other people’s lives. When a position opened at our practice, she was so excited at the thought of being able to follow her passion for healthy living and to be able to talk with people every day. “I get so much satisfaction in coming to work where I get to help people live their best life.”
For Justine, there is something fulfilling about meeting a patient for the first time who is either desperate for answers or desperately wanting to be free from pain and then being witness as they reap the benefits of Dr Luke’s wonderful care. “I have seen patients regain their quality of life so many times.”
From the minute a patient arrives Justine will greet them, make them feel at home and reassure them that they have come to the right place. “I am sometimes their confidante, sometimes they’re mum and other times the one with just the right words at the right time. I know I make a difference and there is nothing more rewarding than that.”
Outside of work, Justine enjoys spending time with family and friends. She loves to cook healthy meals for her family but also enjoys a nice Saturday lunch and a glass of wine with friends. Justine loves being a nanny to her grandson and granddaughter and spending time with them!
