About us
Our Chiropractors
Dr Lindsay Best
Dr. Lindsay Best understands that the connection between the brain and body forms the foundation of health, directing every tissue, cell, and organ. When this communication is disrupted, it can affect how the body functions and adapts to stress. With this in mind, she works carefully to identify areas of interference in the nervous system that may limit performance and well-being.
Using a variety of chiropractic techniques, Dr. Best tailors her approach to each person’s needs and preferences. Whether seeking pain relief, improved mobility, or greater balance, she adapts her care to create the best outcomes. Her focus goes beyond addressing immediate concerns, aiming to restore harmony so the body can heal naturally.
Dedicated to empowering people in their health journey, Dr. Best believes chiropractic care is more than treatment—it’s a pathway to unlocking the body’s potential, allowing individuals to move, function, and live at their best.
Dr James Mackay
Dr James has been in practice for a decade now and loved every minute of it. He has worked in multiple cities across New Zealand and Australia, returning to his hometown of Auckland to start a family of his own in late 2023.
“Since being able to use my skills as a chiropractor to support my wife through a healthy pregnancy and give my child the best start at life I have a deeper appreciation for what I can provide expectant mothers and their newborns”.
Outside of his love of family and passion for his work he loves the physical and mental challenge of Brazilian jiu jitsu as a unique and fun way of staying fit.
Dr Ellie Emmerson
Dr Ellie is a compassionate chiropractor dedicated to enhancing the well-being of people of all ages through holistic, patient centred care. Her own positive experiences with regular chiropractic care inspired her to pursue a path where she could provide the same support and healing for others.
With expertise in both hands-on adjusting and meaningful communication, Ellie designs personalised care plans that promote long-term wellness and optimal nervous system function. She is passionate about helping individuals not only recover but also thrive, recognising the body’s innate ability to heal when properly supported.
Ellie is committed to ongoing growth as a practitioner and values the deep, lasting impact chiropractic care can have on overall health.
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find her spending time with her two dogs or getting lost in a good book-thrillers are her favourite escape.
