Garry has dance moves to rival Michael Jackson and brings smiles to the faces of everyone around him.

He has an amazingly warm and welcoming nature and we often ask him to mentor new clients. This is a great leadership role for Garry that he can do autonomously, and also gives our new clients a great introduction to our centre.
