About Linda...
Linda joined us as we completed renovations at UMB, which included the provision for a designated reception area. Her ease and skill with organisation and her ability to facilitate flow within a space, made Linda the perfect addition to support with setting up, decorating and organising both the reception and the waiting area space, bringing an understated elegance, style and functionality.

About Joss...  
As the second addition to our UMB Reception team, all who have met Joss we’re sure would agree that this is a young man with maturity, poise and wisdom, fresh-faced and ageless at the same time – he is a delightful addition to the wider team.

Chris James :
​'Everyone is born with a beautiful voice!'

As we welcome 2017 we are deeply appreciative and pleased to announce that from this year onwards Chris James has joined our Practitioner Team. Chris will be offering private sessions at UniMed Brisbane as well as workshops and Interactive Concerts in the wider community.

Chris’s approach to vocal coaching and expression is unique, and once you have experienced working with him and his extraordinary, down to earth, practical style to singing and speaking with confidence, you will have the opportunity to expand in ways you may never have thought possible.

Underpinning Chris’s work is the philosophy that everyone has a voice that is clear, powerful and expressive.  “This voice may be temporarily hidden, but I have found that it is absolutely true that ‘Everyone is born with a beautiful voice’”, says Chris.
