Our People

Hi, I’m Reuben Turner, your Business Development Lead here at Life Care Consultants.
With over 15 years of account management and sales experience, I bring a deeply engrained customer focus to Life Care.

Having held roles in the precious metals, technology, and health sectors, this breadth of experience helps me understand your business requirements and assist in crafting the right solution for your team.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family, exercise, and getting on the tools for some never-ending DIY on our house!

One of my passions is building long-term business partnerships and getting the job done, so if that sounds like you, let’s set up a coffee to discuss your First Aid, Health, and Wellness goals.

Hi, I’m Rebecca Skegg, Account Management Team Lead. I have over 25 years’ experience in business-to-business solutions across a variety of industries.

With my original background in nursing, the health & wellbeing sector is an industry that aligns with who I am and what I care about.

I enjoy working with our clients and really getting to know their business. My goal is to understand your challenges so we can work together to implement Life Care’s health and wellbeing solutions to successfully meet your objectives, reduce risk and have a positive impact on the wellbeing of your people and business.

When I’m not at Life Care; my garden, family and great enjoyment of cooking take up my time. I also love getting outside and enjoying being near the water in beautiful NZ.

With over 20 years of experience as an Account Manager and Business Development Manager, I bring a wealth of expertise to Life Care. My diverse background spans various industries, including manufacturing, construction, engineering, finance, and government departments, giving me a comprehensive understanding of different organisational needs.

For the past 8 years, I have specialised in helping clients with first-aid training and medical products. I’m also a defibrillator specialist, with extensive knowledge of all models available in New Zealand—so if you need expert advice, I’m your go-to resource. In addition to my professional role, I’m dedicated to my community as a volunteer Event First Responder Ambulance Officer, reflecting my commitment to health and safety.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog, gardening, learning to surf, and exploring nature through tramping. I’ve also climbed to Everest Base Camp and completed three skydives in New Zealand, which speaks to my adventurous spirit.

My passion lies in partnering with clients to ensure the health, safety, and wellness of their teams.

With a passion for building relationships and a global perspective from living and working in many countries, I love connecting with diverse clients. My collaborative approach helps create successful partnerships, leading to impactful health and wellness programs.

I am deeply committed to Life Care’s mission of improving the health and well-being of New Zealanders. My strong project management skills guide clients smoothly from initial contact to program realisation.

Outside work, you can find me on or in the ocean, inspired by the Blue Mind philosophy.

Life Care offers a comprehensive suite of health, wellness, and training solutions. Feel free to connect so we can discuss how we help people thrive with our proactive approach to health and wellness.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, I’m Chanel King, National Key Accounts Manager at Life Care Consultants and a Cantabrian at heart! I am passionate about people, mental health and wellbeing! I bring a decade of sales, product development, project management and demand planning experience across variety of industries including manufacturing, food + beverage, packaging, healthcare and industrial.

In my previous life, I thoroughly enjoyed working for various B2B manufacturing suppliers and could see the impact health and safety had on many areas of a business if not taken seriously! I know that safety starts with me, and I hope to carry that out to help you and your business with your occupational health and training needs. The down time is not worth it!

I am committed to a customer centric approach, where strong communication, working together to achieve goals and aiming to do it right the first time is my style. I enjoy building long term business relationships, finding solutions and working smarter not harder!

Outside of work, I love giving back to the community, going for walks, yoga and exploring the city – if there is something new happening, I will be there! I am also a sucker for food and a foodie by nature – I have eaten at over 300 restaurants in NZ and counting!

Hello, I’m Barbara-Ann Sharp, National Account Manager and I have been with Life Care Since April 2019.

My career has been extremely satisfying within different industries. Working for Life Care Consultants is an industry that holds a lot of appeal to me where I can concentrate my energy into building healthier workplaces for clients and potential new clients.

The rapport and subsequent relationships I am able to establish with clients is built on honesty, respect and professional service, thereby gaining the trust and loyalty of clients.

Out of work I love to cook, dance and spend time with my family and grandchildren. I enjoy following an holistic approach for my own health and wellbeing in my personal life.

I believe everything in life happens for a reason and we need to maintain a positive mental attitude and outlook on life. We can accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.

Talofa, I’m Josephine Faalupega and I am an Internal Account Manager at Life Care.
I joined Life Care Consultants in October 2020 after taking some time off to have my second baby. My professional background is in hospitality, telco, logistics and then onto community-based services. All of which were service and customer-focused roles. I find joy in my role through building and maintaining strong working relationships with my clients. I am very passionate about providing the right services and care for my customers, regardless of their portfolio or whether they are a small NZ business, or a big corporate.
Outside of Life Care, my family is everything to me. I have a loving husband and I am a proud mother of two (very fast) growing boys Desmond and Jacob, who I am often running around after. When I’m not working or with my family, I play volleyball socially with a group of friends which I very much enjoy as I get to socialise with different groups of people and have a bit of fun.

Growing up I was lucky to be part of a loving, supportive family that allowed me to do what I enjoyed most – play sport! It was through that love of play that I learnt many valuable things. Things like:

The importance of the ‘team’ – working together to achieve common goals.
Hard work and persistence pay off and good communication is key.
Being physically fit improves health and self-esteem.
Having fun, laughter and friendship makes everything so much better.
With a teacher mother, it was no surprise that I ended up in education. Besides, I love learning…knowledge empowers people and gives them choices. Teaching Physical Education and Health was a logical fit and allowed me to combine what I loved. My love of learning later saw me complete a Diploma in Career Guidance and work in the Careers Dept of a large state secondary school.

Coming to Life Care Consultants was a natural transition. I believe in what we do, and I know we do it really well. I believe in our company core values: “Attitude is everything – positive, fun and passionate.” And I believe it is my role, as part of that team, to practise and do my job to the best of my ability so the desired outcomes are achieved – just like in any sport.

As a dedicated Marketing and Communications Specialist at Life Care, I bring a vast experience in different industries, including advertising agencies, microfinance, wholesalers, and B2B businesses. This diverse background has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges that companies in different sectors face. I’m passionate about creativity and thrive on collaborating with teams to develop and execute impactful marketing campaigns. My focus on achieving tangible results drives my work, ensuring that our efforts translate into meaningful outcomes for Life Care and its clients.

I’m an enthusiast of healthy and active living, which perfectly aligns with Life Care’s mission to enhance the well-being of individuals within organisations. When I’m not working, you’ll find me looking for new places to visit, attending concerts, exercising, and listening to podcasts about personal finances, well-being and learning the piano. I’m dedicated to bringing my passion for marketing, communications, and a vibrant life to the service of Life Care and its clients.
