I love being a family wellness chiropractor because:  I love helping people who truly want to become well.  We have a family focus encompassing education so that people can be empowered to make healthier decisions now and into the future. This is both incredibly fun and exciting.

The greatest miracles I've seen so far:
A 7 year old boy, diagnosed autistic at 18mths old.  After 12 months of chiropractic he was "a totally different boy".  He could sit up straight, his motor skills improved, behaviour improved, he's a lot happier and has more confidence.  This is life changing for both the boy and his entire family.

When I'm not at North Shore Chiropractic I am:
Having a great time playing with my two little ones - Ella and Riley.  The rest of my time is spent reading & learning the latest wellness information.

I love being a family wellness chiropractor because it allows me the amazing opportunity to adjust whole families together towards optimal health, and watch the healing occur from the eldest grandfather to the youngest baby. Within each of us is a vital force, and chiropractic keeps that force at full strength!

The awesome thing is, you don’t need to be sick to benefit from chiropractic care. Having a healthy nerve system allows a healthy person to be healthier, a sports professional to reach greater levels of performance, a child to grow strong and a pregnant mother to be fully healthy for the birth process.

The greatest miracles I have seen so far:
A two year old child with unexplained seizures for two months, loss of eye tracking, loss of swallowing co-ordination, loss of vocalization, inability to sit up. Over a series of adjustments he started to track objects, interact with his environment, smile and start sitting up.

Here is an email from the family:

To the Team at North Shore Chiropractic.

A quick update from Tristan. Since his adjustment on Thursday the 5th he just keeps laughing, smiling and occasionally crying, with sound!  It may not sound like a lot but it is a huge change from the vacant looks we got a few months back. Also since that adjustment Tristan has started opening his jaw - impressing his speech therapist. Again it is the little things. His physio- therapist has also commented on how fast Tristan is coming along. He is now able to sit up with help, fold his arms and legs, and can support his head when lying on his tummy. We have also had to order a new standing frame because he has grown out of his current frame - something we were not expecting to do for another 3-4 months at least. Finally his care team has decided that starting Monday the 9th Tristan will begin a less intensive feeding schedule because he is now able to digest his food without throwing up.

Thank-You for all the adjustments!
