Hello, I’m Kendell. I grew up on the beautiful West Coast, where a love for the outdoors and an active lifestyle was a big part of my upbringing. That connection to movement and nature has always stayed with me.

My journey into chiropractic began through my own experiences with care, and the impact it had on my overall wellbeing was truly eye-opening. That inspired me to study at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, where I developed a deep appreciation for the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive when supported well.

I’m passionate about helping people of all ages experience the benefits of chiropractic, whether they’re navigating everyday stress, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to feel and function at their best. I love working with individuals and families who are keen to take charge of their health and enjoy the things they love.

Outside of Habitat, you’ll most likely find me out in nature - biking, hiking or exploring somewhere new.

It’s a privilege to be part of your journey - I look forward to welcoming you to Habitat Chiropractic and helping you thrive.

Hi, I’m Dr Melinda, a neurologically-focused chiropractor with over 23 years of experience helping people reconnect with their health through chiropractic care. For more than two decades, I ran my own practice in Auckland, where I had the privilege of working with individuals and families to support their wellbeing and quality of life.

Alongside my practice, I spent 10 years as a lecturer and intern mentor at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic — a role I loved for the opportunity it gave me to contribute to the growth of our profession and help shape future chiropractors.

I’ve recently returned home to the South, and I’m excited to continue offering chiropractic wellness care in this new chapter. I’m deeply passionate about supporting people of all ages to live well, feel connected, and thrive by helping their nervous systems function at their best.

Outside of practice, I’m a lifelong animal lover. Along with my husband, we currently share our home with two spirited miniature schnauzers and our dear 17-year-old cat. I enjoy being out in nature, exploring local walks, horse riding, and soaking up everything that beautiful North Canterbury has to offer.

HI, I’m Beks. My journey with Chiropractic began as a result of some health challenges while I was studying secondary teaching. I was so amazed at how empowered chiropractic enabled me to be, after several years of teaching I decided to study at the highly respected New Zealand College of Chiropractic. I’ve benefited from chiropractic care through many stages and parts of life. It’s played a big part in me thriving by enabling my active lifestyle, supporting stress management during study, improving my everyday quality of life and most recently supporting me through and post pregnancy.

My experiences have led to a passion for sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with all members of the family. As a new mum, I am particularly passionate about chiropractic in our younger members of the family and during pregnancy.

When I’m away from Habitat, I enjoy time with my husband and young son, walking our dog, swimming, tramping and maintaining our nourishing vegetable garden.

I look forward to welcoming you to Habitat Chiropractic and being a part of your journey to greater health and well-being with Chiropractic care.
