On a holiday to Alexandra Headland with her now husband in 1999, Melinda said “I would love to live here one day,” and some 15 years later they moved here with their two daughters. Mel has been a patient of the clinic before moving here, receiving treatment whilst on holiday and has been a long-term patient of chiropractic care, along with her family. In April 2016, Mel joined the reception team at Cottontree Chiropractic. Melinda originates from country NSW and had the opportunity to move around both NSW and Mackay QLD with her banking career. Mel enjoys welcoming new and existing patients into the clinic and making them feel at ease, together with the day-to-day running of reception. Baking, crocheting, bike riding, bushwalking and exploring the Sunshine Coast with her family are some of the things Mel likes to do in her spare time!
