If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like working at a medical centre and dispensary; Budding Wellness practice manager Gabrielle Forden is here to spill the tea.
Created by Dr Cheyne Mitchell and his pharmacist business partner, Alya Abdulmaksoud, Budding Wellness specialises in endo-cannabinoid support (ECS) therapy to improve quality of life.
At the Noosa Junction clinic, Gabrielle oversees daily operations, ensuring patients receive the highest quality of support on their medical cannabis journey.
“One of the most fulfilling parts of my role is our holistic approach to patient care and witnessing the profound impact it has on the patients’ lives,” she said.
“We go beyond just providing cannabis products and focusing on understanding each patient’s unique needs and goals. This allows us to address not just physical symptoms, but also mental and emotional well-being, empowering patients to take control of their health.”
Joining Budding Wellness was a natural progression for Gabrielle, as it allowed her to continue working alongside Dr Mitchell, the clinic’s founder.
“I had the privilege of working with him at a previous clinic. When Dr Mitchell decided to establish Budding Wellness, I knew I wanted to be part of this new venture,” she said.
“His dedication to putting patients first and his vision for creating a clinic that goes beyond conventional care resonated deeply with me.”
Seeing Budding Wellness grow into a thriving community hub has been incredibly rewarding for Gabrielle.
“We’ve witnessed the positive impact on patients’ lives as we’ve expanded our services to meet their evolving needs,” she said.
“I’m proud to be part of a team dedicated to advancing medical cannabis and holistic healthcare, and I’m excited to continue contributing to our clinic’s success.”
