We welcome the talented Leishan Pace on the podcast today. Leishan is a Paediatric Psychologist and Director of Pace Ahead Psychology in Mackay. Leishan established it initially as an after-hours practice in early 2019, then as she saw the need for more experienced paediatric psychologists in Mackay, so she decided to establish Pace Ahead as a company. Pace Ahead Psychology has an excellent community reputation for outstanding clinical outcomes, well-established skills and a fun, exciting team culture.
