Sue Molony
Chiropractic AssistantCrafty connoisseur, dog lover, avid walker.
Sue has recently joined the team, coming from a background in healthcare administration. She brings a warm and welcoming atmosphere to our team, and is always down for a friendly chat!
Hailing from South Africa, Sue has found her home in Whakatāne, which holds a special place in her heart as the beautiful and safe town her children grew up and became adults. Nowadays, Sue spends her time knitting and crocheting (in preparation for any potential future grandchildren), and walking her dogs (in their very own knitted goods).
Sue has always had positive experiences with chiropractic care, having enjoyed seeing many lives improve in multiple ways.

Tahlia Yoo
AdministrationBoard game lover, new mum, arts-and-crafter.
I’m Tahlia, Hojun’s wife - I’m behind the scenes doing all things administration while juggling being a new mother to our baby girl! Some of our original patients may remember me as I worked at reception up until having our daughter.
In my free time (which is a rarity these days), I enjoy arts and crafts, and anything design. I worked as a kitchen designer for a short time after completing my Bachelor of Design (Spatial) in 2023, which was a lot of fun.
I've learned a lot about chiropractic while supporting Hojun through university and throughout his career, as well as having seen chiropractors since I was a baby. I understand the impact good chiropractic care can make on your overall wellbeing, and how it can improve function.
