Kathy Johansson
Chiropractor

My chiropractic journey started as a kid; I was always full throttle with my sport and horses which meant a few mishaps here and there. After recieving care I learned what it was to feel well. From then on I have been fascinated with power of the human body and the role chiropractic plays in optimising its potential.

Being from the small town of Lightning Ridge, Sydney or Melbourne were a little too big to tackle so initially I undertook a bachelor degree in Human Movement Science majoring in Exercise Science at Southern Cross University. Half way through the degree I knew there was something else I needed to do, I meet an amazing chiropractor who mentored and encouraged me to pursue my passion to help people, I had to become a chiropractor. With the support of my now husband Tomas; five years later I graduated from Macquarie University Sydney with a Masters of Chiropractic.

In my final year of university I began learning about Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), a technique that I knew I needed to learn if I was to be a rural practitioner. It was during these seminars where I meet Dr Janine Kinahan, she was one of our amazing educators (serendipitous). Since joining the team at New England Chiropractic in February 2013 I have gained Basic and Advanced SOT certification.

I believe that it is a privilege to be a chiropractor; to help people discover their optimal health potential.

Carissa Davis
Chiropractor

I come from a rural background with a love for horses, cattle and dogs. 

I studied Chiropractic at RMIT in Melbourne, graduated 2011.  I then went on to study animal chiropractic in the USA.  After coming home I worked in Grafton and then in Tamworth practicing both human and animal chiropractic for the last 7 years.  

I enjoy playing hockey and campdrafting what the opportunity arises.  

Kate Lennon
Chiropractor

I’m passionate about the impact of chiropractic care on overall health, particularly how it supports the nervous system and helps the body adapt to stress.

Outside of practice, I enjoy spending time in nature, sport, and travelling to new places. I also value time at home to unwind and recharge, along with meaningful connection with family and friends

Danielle Tonkin
Chiropractor

My journey into chiropractic started a bit later in life. After having moved to Australia in 2010, I started a career in IT. Throughout that time my health started to decline, and I struggled with getting answers through general allopathic means. It was through chiropracticcare that I started to learn what being healthy really meant and importantly, how that felt! As I learned more, needless to say I was hooked! I resigned from my IT role on a Friday in 2018 and started the chiropractic program at Macquarie University on the following Monday and have never looked back!

Having started as a patient of chiropractic I have experienced and witnessed firsthand the amazing impact that chiropractic care has on the body. Now as a practitioner my passion is to help give that impact to all of my patients, with the best care possible. I’m what you’d call a ‘gentle chiro’; I use gentle, low-force techniques that allow me to help everyone from 0-99, and I aim one day to have at least 4 generations of family in my care.

I love to be of service and to serve my community, so when you see me around Inverell be sure to say g’day!

PS: I’m still a bit of an IT nerd, so if you’d like to know more about the technical details of your care, or about the systems I use, be ready for a big answer!

Sherrie
Office Manager/Chiro Assistant

I started out as a client for an injury in 2011 and was amazed at the results, which lead to my job. I have now worked at NEC for almost 5 years and get regular coaching in all things chiropractic and am eager to learn even more.

The best thing about my job is seeing the positive difference chiropractic has made to so many client’s lifestyles and working with a great bunch of girls.

I enjoy a simple life and in my spare time you’ll find me outdoors with my family and playing sport. I enjoy volleyball, motorbike riding, kayaking and netball.

Knowing the overall health benefits of chiropractic my three beautiful kids and family members all receive regular chiropractic with great results.

Sometimes I’ll be at reception to greet you with a smile & other times working hard behind the scenes. I love getting to know our clients and have made some really good friends. I look forward to seeing our regular clients and their friendly faces.

I am excited to see our clinic grow and love being a part of this awesome team!
