“I really enjoy working at the Alma Vale Centre and can highly recommend it as a place to work. It is an inviting and friendly place for both practitioners and clients, with attractive rooms and a convenient location… I particularly like the fact that there are a number of other practitioners supporting women’s health at the clinic.”
