Susannah happened upon Chiropractic in her final year of high school, and spurred on by curiosity, undertook her degree at Macquarie University the following year. She moved from Sydney to Newcastle in 2018 for a change of pace and lifestyle.
Susannah quickly became inspired by the benefits of chiropractic care, and its potential to improve overall function and quality of life in any person. It also seemed to be a natural fit to her lifestyle, as it complemented her passion for dance and fitness.
She has previously worked in family and sports chiropractic clinics, gaining skills in the treatment of chronic pain, dry needling, and functional rehab. She was more recently exposed to ABC, and was captivated by the consistent results it produced in postural correction and optimal functioning.
Susannah still engages in ballet, fitness and sport on a weekly basis, and loves a good social gathering or outdoor adventure on the weekends!
