Fourteen years ago this week, Dr Mary Helen Hensley relocated from America to serve the people of Athlone with the life-changing benefits of chiropractic care. Now, 14 years on, Dr Hensley has handed over the reins of spinal care to Dr Meggan Gregory of Australia, who also celebrates this week with one year as a valued member of the Athlone Chiropractic Care team. Dr Hensley continues to be a constant presence in the office, but now works full time in the practice of vibrational and metaphysical healing, encompassing the mind, body, and spirit, and is preparing to publish her fifth book with Book Hub Publishing. Office manager Maureen Duffly remains as the cornerstone of the facility since its inception, working over two decades in the field of chiropractic care.

Q: I have been working as office manager in a company for the past three months – without actually getting the stripes. The situation was that the previous office manager took ill and they recruited me on a temporary basis to take over the job. Initially, there was some resentment among the other three people in the office – at least two of whom might have felt they should have got the job. But that has now dissipated and we have a happy working environment. One of the two even confided in me that he was glad I had come in as he didn’t feel he would be able to do the job as good I can. Anyway, that’s not my reason for writing to you. What’s bugging me now is that the job is now to be filled on a full-time basis. I had hoped I would get the job without it being advertised, but it has been advertised locally in the media. What should I do? Does this mean they don’t think my face fits? (RK, email)
