Mary van Harsel

I was born in Mariënburg, a small town in the Commewijne district of Suriname. When I was three years old, I moved to the Netherlands with my family. Before joining the Chiropractic Centre, I worked with great care and dedication in elderly care, supporting people living with dementia. Although I really enjoyed my work, I eventually felt ready for a new challenge.

I came across a vacancy at the Chiropractic Centre on Facebook. By the time I applied, the position had already been filled. However, some time later, the vacancy reopened, and I was contacted because of my previous application. That is how I eventually became part of this wonderful team.

What I enjoy most about my job is the contact with patients. No two days are ever the same, and every patient is different. Some enjoy having a friendly chat, while others simply prefer to come in for their treatment. I get a great deal of satisfaction when patients tell me they have received good care and notice that their symptoms have improved.

I believe it is important that everyone feels welcome from the moment they walk through the door and leaves the practice feeling just as comfortable and well cared for.
I also enjoy the variety and the challenges that each working day brings. Sometimes a day looks like it is going to be quiet, but things turn out completely differently! At the end of a busy day like that, I go home with a real sense of satisfaction. I also get a lot of energy from working with our chiropractors and colleagues. We have a lovely team where everyone is always willing to help one another.

I live in Helmond with my husband, Dave, and our daughters, Indy and Quinty. Our family would not be complete without our loyal four-legged friend, Dex. Life in our household is often busy and hectic, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
In my free time, I enjoy going for walks and spending quality time with family and friends. Whether it is going out for lunch or dinner, cycling, or simply relaxing together, I love making the most of those moments.
