Lisa is another member of the amazing team here at Proactive Chiropractic, working as one of our vital chiropractic assistants. Born in Dunedin and raised in Nelson, Lisa decided to move to Christchurch after finishing high school for a fresh, exciting start with new opportunities. As an avid volleyball player one of the big draw cards for her move was to pursue her sport and she currently plays for Pioneer Volleyball Club.

Her first experience with chiropractic was a few visits during her childhood and since then she has always been interested in it, especially as she is passionate about natural and holistic health. Since starting as a chiropractic assistant at Proactive and getting regular adjustments herself Lisa has noticed incredible positive changes in herself and her body. In particular she has experienced a significant change in her sporting performance including faster reaction times and better coordination.

Lisa wants all of our Proactive patients to feel immediately light and full of life when they come into our practice and be surrounded by positivity and warmth. She wants them to feel comfortable, welcomed and most importantly put a smile on their face and help them get the most out of their chiropractic care. For Lisa she sees health and well-being as multifaceted and feels her best when her mental, physical, and spiritual health are all positive and aligned, and she wants our patients to experience this also.

Outside of work, volleyball is of course one of Lisa’s greatest passions and she is a summer lover through and through, happily spending hours paddling at the beach or river. She has a big love of cooking and baking, with chocolate banana bread an absolute favourite. She loves discovering new food places and trying new cuisines and spending time with her family and friends fills her cup.
