Ella Mackenzie

Meet Ella!
Ella is a final-year chiropractic student completing the final weeks of her clinical externship at Kindred Chiropractic in Browns Bay. She has a passion for family and lifestyle chiropractic and loves working with people who want to be proactive about their health and continue doing the things they love.

 

Ella has a particular interest in women’s health and family care, including supporting people whose health experiences may not always fit neatly into a single box. She values taking the time to listen to the whole story, understand the different physical and lifestyle factors influencing someone’s health, and ensure people feel heard and involved in their care. Her approach recognises that health is multifaceted, and that supporting someone’s wellbeing means seeing the person beyond an individual symptom.

Ella is particularly fascinated by nervous system function and adaptability; how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stress, and how chiropractic care may form part of a broader approach to supporting health and wellbeing. Her background in biochemistry and microbiology has also shaped her curiosity about the human body and her desire to understand the “why” behind what she sees in practice.

Ella has a strong interest in Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic and is excited to continue to develop her training in this highly specific approach. Her own experience with upper cervical care following a concussion played an important role in shaping the chiropractor she wanted to become and sparked a particular interest in the upper cervical spine!

As a lifelong horse rider, Ella also has a special interest in working with people with active, outdoor lifestyles. She understands firsthand the demands these activities place on the body and loves supporting people to keep participating in their activities and hobbies! 

In practice, Ella is warm, energetic, and genuinely enjoys getting to know the person in front of her. She believes great chiropractic care should be individualised, collaborative, and purposeful, with care tailored to the person, their body, and their goals.
