Our values in action

Adaptability

We constantly review and adjust how we deliver care, keeping up with new techniques and methods based on your feedback. Our team embraces learning, shares different approaches, and manages change with a growth mindset. When the unexpected happens, we stay calm and find resourceful solutions together.

Compassion

Every interaction matters. We take time to understand your story and needs, celebrate what makes you unique, and provide genuine support through both challenges and achievements. We speak respectfully, stay patient, and create welcoming spaces where you feel truly heard and supported.

Efficiency

We value your time. That means clear communication, timely responses, organised service delivery, and keeping everyone informed. When we say we’ll be there, we are. When issues arise, we solve them together, keeping everything moving forward smoothly.

Knowledge

Our practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and continuous learning. We share resources, ask thoughtful questions, and actively reflect on new research. Through supportive supervision and collaborative learning, we ensure everyone on our team grows in skill and understanding.

Creating New Horizons

What does ‘Elk Health’ mean?

Our story

Selecting a business name is difficult. I wanted something that encompassed the Elk Health philosophy – something that was inclusive, compassionate, holistic and unique. My daughter’s name has the word Elk in it, and if anyone knows her, you know she is the most fiercely independent, determined, confident and capable person. These are the exact qualities that I want my clients to feel after they experience intervention with Elk Health. And hence… the name was born!
