Chiropractic Assistants
Judy Atha
Judy has been a patient at AYC since it’s inception. She originally consulted a Chiropractor after a neck and back injury she incurred from heavy lifting at work 25 years ago and chiropractic has been part of her healthcare and lifestyle choices since. She loves the vitality and general sense of wellbeing she receives from it. In her own words: ‘I love getting adjusted; after about three weeks the physical, chemical and emotional stressors of daily life start to make me feel ‘blah’. After an adjustment I’m back on track and ready to go again!'
Judy lives locally in Erina with her husband John. Her hobbies and interests include genealogy, reading, bush walking and she is a keen WIRES volunteer.
Judy has had a long service history in the travel industry. For those of you who’ve already encountered Judy you’ll know she brings a great ‘Yorkie’ sense of humour and a caring, compassionate energy to the team.
