Hi There!

I’m Kristen. I’m a Macquarie University (Sydney) graduate from 2012.

For those who don’t know, chiropractors in Australia have to complete 5 years of study, broken up into 3 years Bachelor of Chiropractic Science, and 2 years Master of Chiropractic. KP Chiropractic is in its 7th year of operation now, but newly operating out of The Living Well Studio in Burleigh Heads (come say hi!).

I have an approach that is patient centred as opposed to practitioner centred, which means I draw on a multitude of techniques and modalities that suit each individual. I strive to make this an overall empowering process, and encourage a team effort between myself, you, your GP and any other health care provider that may need to be involved including physiotherapists, podiatrists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists, sports trainers etc.... Plus, I like to take the time to get to know you, which helps me understand what is really going on.

Although I am experienced in all aspects of musculoskeletal health and injury rehabilitation, I have a special interest in managing chronic pain. I like to delve into understanding the neurology and mechanics behind why injuries occur and try to relay this and educate my patients on what is going on in their body. This helps to reduce the fear of unknown, which goes a long way in helping you through difficult periods of pain and disability. I'm dedicated to keeping up to date with the latest scientific and medical knowledge - as research gives us clinical certainty and is the cornerstone for evidence based care.

This year (2022) i’ve decided to take my therapeutic and rehabilitation skills to the next level and undertake further studies in the Dr. of Physiotherapy program through Bond Uni.

Outside of work I am a Yogi, an adventurer and a music lover.
