Anna Kanellopoulos

Assistant


Long before Anna joined our team, she managed to pack a lot into life.  Anna studied Naturopathy and also has a huge love for art, both of which she studied.

As inspiring as she is to us, she also has a passion to inspire others through heath and nutrition and is a wonderful asset to have on our reception team as she understands herbal medicine and health just as much as all of us. (maybe we can get her back into practice too!)

Anna can understand and relate to how The Pagoda Tree runs from the inside to out and endeavours to educate others into the benefits of being a regular at The Pagoda Tree.

Working as a chiropractic assistant for a number of years and as a young mum herself, she understands and can answer any curly questions about the clinic and fertility assistance you may have.

Erin is the voice and the first point of contact as our receptionist, so feel free to pick up the phone and engage with Erin.
