Our Locum Chiropractors

  • I was born in Wellington and graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Science and then completed a Bachelor of Chiropractic at The New Zealand College of Chiropractic. I believe by completing both these degrees I have an appreciation for different ways of approaching health.

    I have a strong passion for nutrition, mindfulness and exercise and incorporate these three things in my daily life.

    For me, Chiropractic is not just a career but a lifestyle. My goals to provide a holistic chiropractic approach to help clients express a more optimal state of vitality and well-being
