Working behind the scenes is Julia who handles communications, marketing and operations that go into the every day here at Proactive Chiropractic Care. Born and bred in Christchurch, this one-eyed Cantabrian is very happy to be back living in the mainland after 10 years spent in Auckland and overseas in the Netherlands. Julia was first introduced to chiropractic to see if care could help her with the headaches she had been experiencing after having viral meningitis. Since then she has been getting regular adjustments to stay on top of these and maintain her general health.

Over the last 10 years, Julia has worked in marketing roles across a variety of industries including; media, retail, destination marketing and international education. Since moving home to New Zealand after almost three years in the Netherlands, she has been enjoying the challenge of establishing Proactive Chiropractic Care with Matt and also re-establishing life here in Christchurch.

Julia is an avid baker in her spare time - there is always a new cookie recipe she is trying out. She is obsessed with her daughter Lena and dog Hugo and loves spending her weekends with them and her husband Matt out on a walk somewhere up the Port Hills or along the beach.
