People often reach out to Dr Carita de Jong when they’re stuck in cycles that can’t get out of. Many describe feeling stuck in cycles of burnout, stress, or nervous system dysregulation, where their body struggles to fully recover or adapt. Some are living with headaches, migraines, dizziness, neck pain, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, or ongoing tension. Others come to her after concussions, whiplash injuries, traumatic births, or for co-management of their TMJ dysfunction, EDS, ADHD or ASD.
As the owner and chiropractor at Kindred Chiropractic in Browns Bay, Auckland, Carita’s passion project is the Blair Upper Cervical Technique. This highly precise method focuses on the alignment of the upper neck, a critically important part of the spine that directly impacts the brain-body connection. She has done a significant amount of extra training and is Blair Upper Cervical certified, and she is passionate about teaching and mentoring chiropractic students so more people can access this level of care.
Carita’s approach is grounded in precision and efficiency: using detailed analysis to find the exact cause of dysfunction and restoring communication in the nervous system so the body can adapt, heal, and stabilise. She also integrates Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), a mind-body method that helps release stress patterns stored in the nervous system.
With her calm, thorough, and patient-focused approach, Carita has become a trusted chiropractor across Auckland’s North Shore for people seeking answers to complex health challenges. Her care is especially valued by those wanting to move beyond survival mode, rebuild resilience, and experience greater clarity and balance in their daily lives.
