In Loving Memory of Geoff Hale
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Geoff Hale. Geoff was not only my boss at one time, but also my osteopath, a mentor, and someone who had a profound impact on my career and the way I think about healing.
Working with Geoff was an experience I’ll always treasure. As part of his team of massage therapists, we often worked long, demanding days—sometimes up to 12 hours—but somehow Geoff’s youthful energy carried us all. He was endlessly generous with his time, advice, and knowledge, and his unusual but fascinating theories constantly encouraged me to think outside the box. He made me laugh often, even on the hardest days.
Despite the long hours, he always ensured we had proper breaks and a full lunch—though he rarely took his own. He had a remarkable way of making each of us feel like an essential part of a patient’s healing journey. That sense of trust and teamwork meant a great deal.
Every year, Geoff would treat the whole team to a wonderful Christmas party—always a fantastic meal and always great fun. Those celebrations reflected the appreciation and respect he held for his staff.
Working for Geoff gave me practical experience I could never have gained otherwise. Through him, I learned about conditions and diseases massage therapists don’t often encounter, and for that, I will always be grateful. The foundation he helped build in my career is something I’ll carry forever.
Geoff will be sorely missed by his family, his staff, and the many loyal clients within the Gold Coast community who admired and trusted him.
Rest in peace, Geoff Hale.
Thank you for everything.
