A quick drop in to check on things before Xmas.🎅🏽
Air conditioning ducting just about completed then tools down for Xmas. 🎄

Then after a well deserved break we will get to see the second side of the roof installed early January.

We are very excited to have Danika join us in 2026. And even more excited to have another dietitian in the Clarence valley.

Hi!
I’m Danika, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, working out of Maclean Medical Access Clinic from January 2026.
I’m passionate about preventative healthcare and believe that good nutrition should be enjoyable, achievable, and collaborative - working with you to achieve your goals, not against you.
Check out my website and link to online bookings in my bio.
I look forward to joining you on your nutrition journey.

Just a reminder our top clinic will be closing this Thursday until the 5th January.

Our Access clinic is now open limited hours with Christmas fast approaching and may be closed in the afternoons. Next week and the week between Christmas and new year the access clinic will be open on Monday and Tuesday’s from 8am to 1pm and will be reopening to full capacity from 5th Jan.

This is to give our staff who have worked tirelessly this year a well earned break with their families.

Wishing all the community a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year.

Thought we would bring Santa out for the month of December. He’s 6 metres tall so mind you head as you walk past if there’s a big gust of wind as Santa maybe bending over to give you a Christmas hug.

THE BENEFITS OF WALKING — AND WHY I’VE MADE IT PART OF MY MORNINGS

I’ve recently started walking each morning with my daughter, and it’s become one of the best parts of our day. Beyond the health benefits, it’s a moment to reconnect, breathe, and slow the pace before everything else begins.

Why these morning walks matter:
• Boost our energy and mood for the day ahead
• Give us intentional time together without distractions
• Support heart health, fitness, and overall wellbeing
• Help manage stress and bring mental clarity
• Strengthen muscles and joints with gentle movement
• Build a healthy routine we can share and stick to

What I’ve loved most:
• The conversations that happen when we’re simply walking side-by-side
• Watching the sunrise together
• Starting the day with purpose, not pressure

A reminder for anyone thinking about it:
You don’t need to start big. A short walk, a fresh morning, and good company can change the tone of your whole day. Small steps truly make a big difference.
