From modest beginnings in 2015 with a team of just four practitioners, a local clinic has grown to a dedicated team of 24 allied health professionals in 2025.
With this growth, the New Brighton clinic has moved to a new purpose-built location in Brunswick Heads, as well as a second practice location in Cabarita Beach.
Health professionals and Health Cove owners, Angus and Chantelle, say they embraced the opportunity to take over a thriving natural health and wellness practice in New Brighton from their then mentor, Dr Timothy Lyne.
The pair say, ‘Tim had established The Jade Tortoise Clinic of Natural Medicine in 2006, where he spent years building a respected foundation of health care within the local community’.
Legacy
Carrying this legacy forward, Angus and Chantelle say they set out to reimagine the future of the practice.
‘Our vision is to create a welcoming, integrative team that continued to offer our community gold standard health care which was a reflection of both their professional values’.
Angus has deep connection to the area – as a second-generation local who grew up in Ocean Shores and attended school at Mullumbimby High.
His grandfather, Howard Timms, owned and operated a dental prosthetist practice, now known as Pearl Denture Clinic, which proudly celebrated its 50th year in business recently.
Angus and Chantelle say, ‘The name “Cove” was chosen with intention, as the sheltered coves along our coastline provide protection from waves and storms.’
