OUR TEAM
Anne Crawford – Practice Manager
“I have been fortunate to be part of the Ibuki Team as Practice Manager since 2010. With a keen interest in Health & Fitness.
Over the years I have enjoyed marathon running, swimming, triathlons and lately Mt. Biking, meditation and Yoga which ignited my true passion. This led me to become a Yoga Teacher. With a desire to inspire, motivate and encourage others to reach their full potential.
I focus on the power of positive energy and the healing benefits of nature and the wonderful gifts that surround us daily.
This led me to create our own forest, 15 years ago my husband (Greg) and I planted over 5000 magnificent trees to give back to the land, and it is here I find my inspiration.
Ibuki offers this inspiration, the opportunity for patients to renew energies, to heal, to strengthen the body and mind so that positive changes are implemented for Healthy Living. What an amazing vision, created by Dr. Vivienne Taylor who continually inspires us all daily with her on- going commitment to restore Health to others
Jen – Medical Receptionist
One of our wonderful medical receptionist’s at Ibuki Health.
From when Jen was young, she has lead an active life. Her life journey – from Irish dance/teacher of Irish dance, a fittness instructor, massage therapist, Qigong practitioner and instructor has allowed her to explore the magic of the human body.
Jen says “The rythmn, power, coordination, stamina, skill, passion, focus and grace of the human body and mind are perfectly meshed.”.
Qigong is now her passion. Turning and training the mind with structured body movements always made sense to Jen. To complement her passion for the physical side, she has studied and followed alternative health practice and philosophy for more than 20 years.
Jen has lived on Sunshine Coast for 20 years and is now happily working at Ibuki Health since April 2016. She says “I align myself with the integrative health approach to wellness, adjunct treatments and Ibuki’s philosophy on health and life.”

Truly blessed to be a mother and grandmother and share my passion for healthy honest living with my wonderfully supportive husband and our extended family and friends both human and canine.
I believe in nourishing your body,mind and soul with thankfulness, love ,light and good foods. I enjoy working out in the gym, walking, bike riding, kayaking, watching live Sport and travelling. My favourite saying by an unknown author is “We can’t always choose the music life plays for us…. but we can choose how we dance to it .”
I chose to find blessing and enjoyment everyday.
