Angela has 10 years of experience under her belt, as she completed her Chiropractic degree at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic at the end of 2001, adding to her Bachelor of Science majoring in psychology and physiology from Auckland University. Certified in Applied Kinesiology and nutrition, Angela had previously been working with Dr Bryan Hale in Christchurch. She believes in an integrated approach to health care and is able to offer a large amount of experience in dealing with physical, emotional and mental imbalances.
Angela specializes in the Hale Technique, which involves gentle Chiropractic Techniques, Applied Kinesiology, Acupressure, Homeopathic, Nutritional therapies and an understanding of the fundamental relationship between mind, body and emotions. This particular technique integrates the physical, emotional and mental levels of health and Angela has experienced its benefits first hand.
Initially Angela started as a chiropractic patient while she was at Auckland University studying geography. She had reoccurring headaches that were progressively getting worse. Long story short she learnt that chiropractic is more than fixing headaches or back pain and is actually about improving health and wellness. She changed her science degree and studied chiropractic so she could help people with their health issues.
Angela balances her time at Calder Chiropractic Centre with her family, Karate, gym and water sports. Having a young son also means she is great with relating to young people.
Angela believes that everyone can benefit from having “health check ups” and that being proactive in life and health can reward us with many benefits in years to come. Angela’s passion for health and wellness in all levels makes her an asset to Calder Chiropractic Centre.
