So many of us were taught to push through. Carry the load, ignore the ache, keep going in a body that never quite switches off, and slowly you stop trusting what it is trying to tell you. Over time that quietly adds up. The ache becomes background noise and poor sleep starts to feel normal, until worn out is just your everyday.
You were never meant to carry all of it on your own. You deserve to feel good in your body and to feel like yourself again. So we look at the whole picture, your spine, your nervous system and whatever sits underneath, and build care that fits your real, busy life. That is exactly what your first visit is for.
I don’t fix a problem. I care for the whole person, to understand the root cause.
Meet Dr Lucy
Chiropractic has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was first adjusted as a baby, but it wasn’t until my teens, when I was dealing with stomach aches, sore knees and a tiredness I just couldn’t shake, that I really felt the difference it could make. That’s what set me on this path. I love helping people take charge of their own health and know, deep down, that they deserve to feel good in their bodies.
I hold a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic. Since then I have kept learning and going deeper, studying Applied Kinesiology and Neuro Emotional Technique, because I have never been interested in surface-level care. I look at health across the physical, chemical and emotional aspects, so I can understand your whole picture and the root cause, not just the symptom in front of us.
In 2024 I spent two weeks volunteering in India, providing chiropractic care in communities with very little access to it. Closer to home, I care for the whole family across the Northern Beaches, from little ones to grandparents, with a real soft spot for supporting women through every stage of life. When I am not practicing, you will find me chasing the sunrise, at the beach, or making the most of the outdoors with friends and family. More than anything, I want the people I look after to feel at home in their bodies and supported in living well.

Gentle, whole-person chiropractic care for your family, from the newest arrivals to the grandparents and every age in between.
I see your spine and nervous system as the control centre for how your whole body feels, moves and works, which is why they are worth looking after, not only when something hurts. People come to me with back pain, neck pain and headaches, but often carrying more than that too: overworked, tired, wired, like there is no off switch. Whatever you are carrying, physical or otherwise, I take the whole of you seriously.
Bringing a baby to a chiropractor makes a lot of parents nervous, and I completely understand. Care for little ones looks nothing like adult care. It's remarkably gentle, no firmer than the touch you'd use to check a ripe tomato, and always led by what feels right for you and your child. And as babies become toddlers, and children become teenagers, that same gentle, unhurried care grows with them through every stage.
A lot of people feel unsure about seeing a chiropractor while they're pregnant, but there's really no need to be. Pregnancy care is gentle and adapted to wherever you are, and it's all about helping you feel as comfortable and supported as possible while your body changes and makes room for your baby.
How I care for you
A gentle form of muscle testing that helps me listen to what your body is telling me. It gives me clues about where you are holding stress, whether physical, chemical or emotional, so we can look past the symptom to what is really going on.
A gentle technique that works with the mind-body connection. Stress and past experiences can show up in the body, so your care takes them in alongside the physical.
Gentle, precise adjustments to help your spine and joints move more freely. Yes, that can include the familiar ‘crack’, but there is a common misconception that an adjustment always involves one, and it really doesn’t. If that idea makes you nervous, I have plenty of gentle, low-force ways to work, always at a pressure that feels right for you.

Your first visit
From the moment you arrive, the pace is different. Here is what that first hour feels like.
Your first visit is a full, unhurried appointment. There is time to talk properly, so nothing about you gets missed or brushed over.
We start with your body, your history and what has been going on. I listen properly, because understanding you comes before anything else.
Then a careful, hands-on look at how you move and where you hold tension, so we can see how everything connects around the sore spot.
You will leave knowing what is going on and what would genuinely help, with next steps shaped around you and never any pressure to commit to anything.
What I believe
I believe your body is far more capable than we give it credit for. It is always working, adapting and looking for balance, quietly doing its best to keep you well.
Your body wants to be well.
But it can only do so much on its own. We service the car, renew the rego and change the oil, all for something we could replace tomorrow. Your body is the one thing you can never trade in, and yet it is so often the last thing to get looked after.
It’s the only body you’ll ever have.
So the way I see it, my job is simple, to help you care for your body properly, to listen to it, and to give it the best possible chance to feel good and keep doing what you love.

In case you’re wondering
My whole approach is gentle. There is a common misconception that a chiropractic adjustment means being cracked, but that is not always the case. I use plenty of other gentle, low-force options too, so if you don’t like the idea of being cracked, we simply won’t.
Caring for women through pregnancy is something I love. Your care is always gentle and shaped around exactly where your body is at, and I will always be honest about what will and won’t help. If you are ever unsure, you are welcome to get in touch and ask me anything before you decide.
Absolutely, and you don’t need to be in pain to come and see me. Care isn’t only for when something hurts, it is also for anyone who simply wants to look after their body and feel their best. I care for all ages, from newborns through to grandparents, and care for little ones is always especially gentle and led by what feels right for you and your child.
That depends on you and your body, and it is something we work out together, never a set plan pushed on you. Getting to the cause usually takes more than one visit, and how many will look different for everyone. After your first visit you will have a clear, honest picture of what would help, and the choice is always yours.
No. You can book directly, and you do not need anything from your GP to come in.
Your first visit is free, with no obligation after it. For care beyond that, you can see current fees when you book online, and you are welcome to call first if you would like to check anything.
I am at 102 King Street, Manly Vale, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. There is plenty of free street parking, and it is a short walk from the Manly Vale bus stops on Condamine Street.
Just yourself. If you have any recent scans or reports that feel relevant, bring them along. And wear something comfortable you can easily move in.
