Mary Anne is excited to be part of the team at Riverside Health! She is passionate about helping people reach their full potential naturally through Chiropractic Care, exercise and good nutrition. Her family has been in the Northern Rivers for almost a century, her grandfather (who was a dairy farmer) resided just north of Grafton so most of her holidays were spent here to visit her family. Relocating from her busy clinic in Penrith NSW to this area was an undeniable clear decision for her. Mary Anne has had an interesting and very active childhood growing up in the country where she developed a very keen interest in horse riding, ballet and netball. It was through a horse riding accident that drew her towards a Chiropractor. She found it life changing, and from the age of fourteen she knew Chiropractic was the profession she had to pursue and she ended up opening her own clinic. She has a great interest in sporting injuries and has always enjoyed going to regular seminars to expand her knowledge and keep up to date. Fitness and nature are also very important to Mary Anne, and in her spare time she finds herself riding her horse, going to the beach or escaping for a bushwalk. For Mary Anne, Chiropractic is as natural as nature itself and can offer an abundance of hope and relief for so many conditions. Among Chiropractic, Mary Anne also offers super pulsed laser therapy and is a certified Webster Technique Practitioner. Webster Technique aims to achieve optimal pelvic balance to support your spine during pregnancy.
