Nicole is the Director and Principal Chiropractor at Connect Chiropractic. Her introduction to Chiropractic care began after the birth of her daughter Jada who suffered severely from a traumatic birth. Seeing the amazing healing Jada experienced from chiropractic created a shift in Nicole from a “sickness care” philosophy of health care to natural health care through Chiropractic.
Nicole is passionate about Chiropractic and particularly loves working with families, women and babies, athletes and sporting people who are looking to get the best out of their bodies, as well as those who suffer from stress aches and pains, headaches and migraines.
Nicole holds degrees with Distinction in Chiropractic, Science, a Clinical Masters degree in Chiropractic, a Graduate Diploma in Medical Science and has post-graduate studies in paediatrics and SD (Sympathetic Dominance) Protocol. She also regularly attends continuing education and professional development seminars to ensure her knowledge and clinical skills that enable her to provide the best evidence-based practice to her clients.
Away from the practice, Nicole loves spending time with her husband and three daughters, waterskiing, wakeboarding, boxing, x-training and Bayside’s beaches.
