The People Who Make the Clinic Run
These are the faces you'll see and the voices you'll hear when you call, walk in, or check in for an appointment. Lindy and Morag look after the front-of-house side of things, Colleen runs the clinic's Pilates classes and 1:1 sessions, which you can book through the Pilates page.
Lindy Brigg
Lindy has been an integral part of Align Health Co since its inception. A proud Mackay local, she has extensive experience in medical reception and a genuine commitment to ensuring every patient has a positive, supportive healthcare experience.
Known for her warm, approachable manner, Lindy values building meaningful connections and creating an environment where patients feel welcomed and at ease from their very first visit.
Outside of work, Lindy is dedicated to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She enjoys preparing nutritious meals, going for walks, and spending time on the mat practising yoga or Pilates. On her days off, you will find her relaxing with a good book, enjoying quality time with her family, or exploring new destinations on caravanning adventures with her husband.
Morag Marshall
Since moving to Mackay in 2019, Morag has been a dedicated chiropractic assistant. She has a passion for holistic health and aims to assist you in your wellness journey.
Morag joined Align Health Co in early 2023, having previously worked with Dr Jacob, she was keen to join him and his team.
Morag is committed to ensuring every patient feels welcomed, comfortable and fully informed from the moment they step into the clinic.
Outside the clinic you will find Morag keeping active at the gym, or out walking her dog, Mac. In any other free time, Morag enjoys baking and being creative, sewing or knitting items for her grandchildren.
Colleen Gould
Colleen found her way into health and wellness after a significant life experience reshaped her perspective and pushed her toward a career helping others. Since then she's stayed in continual education across movement, nutrition and mindset, so the support she gives her clients is grounded in current practice rather than a single qualification done years ago. Her Pilates classes focus on spinal health, posture, mobility and core strength, which makes them a natural complement to chiropractic care. Sessions are beginner-friendly and built around correct form and technique, so they suit a wide range of ages and abilities. Private 1:1 sessions are available on request for anyone who wants more personalised support.
Qualifications
- Matwork Pilates Instructor Certification
- Certificate III in Fitness
- Certificate IV in Nutrition
- Certified Life Coach
- Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Certification
One Clinic, One Framework
Whoever you book with, the assessment process is the same. The first appointment includes a full history, physical assessment, imaging discussion when necessary, and first treatment where appropriate. The second appointment is a dedicated Report of Findings, where your written working diagnosis, recommendations, structured plan, and realistic timeline are covered. Care is structured around the same three pillars across every practitioner: movement, strength, balance. The plan has a defined endpoint. The goal is that you need less care over time, not more.
We work together with the patient to formulate a treatment plan they're comfortable with. That goes for whoever you see.
