The centre is founded by chief executive officer Mistee Royal-Goehner and director of social services West Goehner. They operate the facility with key contributions from executive coordinator Taniesha Kitchen and tradesman Lochie Hibberson, and in collaboration with R U Fit owners and Mosaic chief financial officer Melissa Woodward and exercise physiologist programs coordinator and practitioner Jeremy Woodward.
The clinical team features 40 plus allied health professionals and has recently partnered with Sunflower Community Support to enhance service delivery in the region.
Special recognition is given to business mentor and lead senior physiotherapist Angela Ellis and early supporter and inspiring artist Belinda Ridley who has been there since day one.
Mosaic Health thanked Vicky Bownds for believing in them and for pushing them to keep going. They thanked their entire team for all the hard work.
“We want everyone to know that Mosaic Elite Health is a truly inclusive space for all abilities,” the Mosaic
team said.
“Please don’t hesitate to come and join us. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or are a seasoned athlete, all levels of fitness and abilities are welcome. We are here to help you reach your goals.”
“Mosaic means putting all the broken pieces back together to make you whole,” Mistee Royal-Goehner said.
“Coming from a background of hardship, West and I want to show people from all walks of life that you can change your life. We are here for this community, as a beacon of hope and change. We stand solid in wanting to be the example for people from all walks of life that they can change their lives. We want to be the change, to give hope to parents of children suffering from addiction that they can make better choices and change their lives.
“We are eager to hear your ideas and suggestions. Come have a coffee, a chat and celebrate with us,” Mistee said.
