Dr Chris anderson
Our resident Aussie, Dr. Chris Anderson relocated to the Hawkes Bay in July 2015 from his hometown Melbourne. He and his wife Kate ran their own practices in Melbourne, but after having their first child and desiring a healthier work/life balance they decided to move to across the ditch. As a family chiropractor, Chris works with mums, dads, kids and grandparents who are tired of headaches, back pain, neck pain or other symptoms getting in the way of life. He tailors his approach to every person - from low-force to manual adjusting - with a focus on helping families feel good and function well at every age.
dr kate anderson
Dr. Kate Anderson supports children, pregnancy and mothers in practice. With two children, Dr. Kate is well aware of the extra energy requirement that motherhood brings and loves to support women on this journey.
She has completed extensive post-graduate training in polyvagal theory as well as pediatric neuro-development, prenatal chiropractic, and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) to support airway development.
dr fergus whyte
Fergus has been under chiropractic care since he was two weeks old. That early start, and the difference he noticed in both his athletic performance and his studies as he grew up, is what drew him to the profession. He wants for his patients what chiropractic gave him: a body and nervous system that works well, at every stage of life.
Fergus works with people who want more from their body - whether that's keeping up with the kids, performing at their best, or staying functional through the physical demands of daily life. He brings a warm, unhurried approach to every patient, tailoring his care to the person in front of him, from infants through to retirees.
dr pauline louette
Pauline was born and raised in Belgium and first came to Aotearoa for what was meant to be a six-month trip – 13 years later, she’s still here! While taking a career break, Pauline randomly worked as a chiropractic assistant. There, she witnessed firsthand the benefits of chiropractic care, and inspired by what she saw, she decided to retrain and pursue a new career in chiropractic.
What Makes Us Different
What you'll notice when you come to us.
We're a busy clinic, five chiropractors, hundreds of Napier families, and three decades of history. But the thing patients tell us most often is that we don't feel like a conveyor belt. They feel seen, they feel heard, and they leave understanding what's going on.
