Our story
The background of Gentle Hands
Gentle Hands emerged from a shared vision of Kirsty and David, both seasoned Registered Nurses with a deep-rooted passion for intensive and recovery care.
Our story began in Port Macquarie, driven by over three decades of combined nursing experience and a commitment to providing compassionate, holistic healthcare.
