Who is Alison?

If you sign up for our newsletters, or read the stories on this site, you might be asking who Alison is.

So here is a face behind the name.

I live on Mt Tamborine, am a Mum with a beautiful son Jack, boyfriend Dean and we are about to have another addition, Lucas, on Boxing Day.

Ripple was a glimmer in my eye for a couple of years before I started it up here in 2005. Just me, one therapist on a mountain.

Because I have been extrodinarily lucky and met some amazing people along the way, it has grown pretty quickly.

But the reasons for me starting it, to have a balance between my work and life and to satisfy my need to make other people happy, are still the same.

Oh and a few people have asked if we are a franchise or run by a big multi national company?

Nope, Ripple is wholely owned by me but is run by a group of amazing women and men who love what we do.

I'm mostly the chick who does the email newsletters and gets to decide where we open next. The super women and men in Ripple (our therapists, booking ladies and regional reps) are the ones who make it all run smoothly.

If you want to know more about us you can follow us on twitter at rippleali where you will probably learn far too much about what I do in a day.

Or drop me a line at alison@ripplemassage.com.au

Another blurb on Ripple from Style mag

This is my favourite quote

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises.

They are not dependent on us. We are dependent on them.

They are not an interruption of our work. They are the
purpose of it.

They are not an outsider to our business. They are a part of it.

We are not doing them a favour by serving them.

They are doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.

- Mahatma Ghandi
