Welcome
A WELL & WILD Approach to Wellness and Healing
At WELL & WILD we gently guide you through the inner landscape of your body, and empower you to develop your own natural healing strategies from within.
These embodied healing strategies help you safely and effortlessly release stress or trauma that's stored in your body as tension. This tension, which can be physical, emotional, or chemical in nature, is held in your body through protective states of your spine and nervous system. Many stress related health conditions (including anxiety, panic, depression, and fatigue) are a result of this prolonged stress and trauma held in your body.
Our gentle spinal care helps you and your loved ones spontaneously breathe and move in ways that release spinal anchors to stress and trauma. As a result, you become free of the negative impact these prolonged stress states can have on your health, life, and spirit. You begin to experience your body, life, relationships, and the world with more peace, safety, trust, connection, and love... you become well and wild!

Our Story
- WELL & WILD care was developed from our background and formal education in Chiropractic, and more specifically as practitioners of Network Spinal Analysis and Somato-Respiratory Integration. We have both practiced as licensed chiropractors for two decades before organically transitioning into what is now our own uniquely positioned healing practice . Our clinical expertise is focused on the nervous system as the primary means of creating change. We specialise in helping people overcome stress-related health concerns and improving their health, well-being, and quality of life in every way.
- While our care still involves working with the spine indirectly, we do not crack or manipulate your spine in any way, nor do we directly treat symptoms or injuries. As a result we no longer work as licensed chiropractors, nor do we accept ACC or provide treatment for any specific condition. We practice exclusively as facilitators of our clients personal healing and development of embodied healing strategies.

A Heart Centred Life with WELL & WILD Care
For centuries, the heart has been considered the source of human compassion, courage, love and wisdom. Our ‘heart intelligence’ is said to be responsible for the flow of intuitive awareness, understanding and inner guidance that we experience when our mind is brought into coherent alignment with our heart.
Creating an Altruistic Nervous System
Altruism or selflessness is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures and a core aspect of various religious traditions and secular worldviews. An exciting new area of study is the beginning of a fascinating argument that a branch of our nervous system has evolved to support altruistic behaviours.
