Leigh Dalzell - Green Prescription Co-ordinator

Leigh has been GRx Co-ordinator at Nelson Bays Primary Health for two years, since the GRx team moved to NBPH from Tasman Regional Sports Trust, where she was a GRx patient support person before taking over the team leadership role. Leigh is married to Paul and between them they have four children.

Leigh is a NetFit trained group exercise instructor with over 20 years experience teaching a variety of exercise session in gyms and within the local community. With a passion for encouraging others to feel healthier and happier through increased movement, she is committed to working with the GRx team and referrers to assist patients to find some sort of physical activity they like and will maintain. 

A people person, Leigh enjoys promoting the GRx service within the Nelson Tasman region, provides physical activity sessions for Falls Prevention Courses, is a Sit and be Fit and Sun style Tai Chi instructor, and leads a weekly community aerobics group for older adults.  She believes empathy and a sense of humour are vital ingredients in assisting others to understand the benefits of regular physical activity and on the weekends can be found walking, working out in the gym, attending an adult dance group or reading in the sun! 

Leigh is available to speak to audiences about her work and to provide an overview of the GRx referral pathway, resources, etc.
