We definitely love recruiting our patients as team members at Proactive and Emma is another one of our chiropractic assistants whose journey started with us as a patient. Emma has recently completed her studies and earned her degree in sport and exercise science, a natural fit given her passion for strength and conditioning. She is incredibly active and loves gym work and training and was previously a long distance runner and grew up playing hockey.

Emma describes her personal experience with chiropractic as life changing, after experiencing extreme lower back pain for several months it was impacting her ability to continue with her active hobbies and lifestyle. It was her mum that suggested seeing a chiropractor and Emma hasn’t looked back since! She wants everyone who comes to Proactive to share in this kind of impact that chiropractic care can have on your overall health and wellbeing.

In her spare time, Emma is an avid reader and one of the main things she loves to do outside of work. She’s also a big fan of camping and tramping, and a highlight for her in 2023 was walking one of New Zealand’s great walks, the Paparoa Track, with her dad.
