Meet the Team

 
 
Therese Egan

Therese Egan - Owner/Relief Teacher 

Bathurst GymbaROO was established by Therese and her husband Philip in January 2008. Therese has a Bachelor of Nursing, Diploma of Remedial/Sports Massage, has completed an Infant Massage Instructors course and is a qualified GymbaROO instructor (2007).

Therese first experienced GymbaROO as a parent with her 8 month old daughter whilst living on the South Coast. It was there that she witnessed first hand the benefits that it provided to both her and her daughter. Upon returning to her hometown of Bathurst in 2007 she recognised the need to establish this valuable program in the Bathurst region. Therese is a mother of two and her other interests include yoga, dancing and music.

Jessica Irvine - Teacher

Jessica joined the Gymbaroo team Term 4, 2011 with 10 years experience in long day care, certificate III in children’s services, and certificate III as a teachers aid.  With a background in emergency services, Jessica has been recently working with children with special needs.
 
Jessica and her family have been members of Bathurst Gymbaroo since its inception in 2008.  It has been of enormous benefit in preparing her eldest daughter for school readiness, and it has been a joy to watch her one year old gain confidence as she developes the skills necessary to explore her world.
 
Continuing her career in early childhood development, Jessica will undergo formal training and take on the responsibility of preparing the programs for all of the Gymbaroo classes from Term 1, 2012.
