BIG news!

There have been some changes here at Five Elements…Kristen has taken over directorship!

Nearly 15 years ago, Nadia started up the clinic at its Fitzroy North location. Over time it has grown and she built more internal rooms to accommodate the expanding base of practitioners. Kristen joined the clinic 11 years ago and has become one of the busiest practitioners here. In November 2017, Nadia had a cancer diagnosis which forced her to slow down and carefully consider the path she wanted to take in life. In February this year, Nadia started a Bachelor of Nursing to expand her capacity to care for people. Managing full-time study along with running a clinic was not going to be viable long-term, and she knew that Kristen would be the perfect person to take the reins!

So on May 1st, Kristen became the new director of Five Elements Health and Vitality. It has not been without a few sweaty palms, and a few deep breaths! However, after so many years of commitment to the clinic it felt like the right step to take. And as they say, “a comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there”.  We are excited to see where Kristen will take the business from here.

Nadia plans to continue practicing at Five Elements as usual so you can continue to book your acupuncture and massage treatments online.
