About Us

Welcome to Ignite Chiropractic

At Ignite, we believe great care starts with real connection. This is a space where you’ll be listened to, where your story matters, and where gentle, whole-body chiropractic is tailored to suit you. Here’s a little about Katie and the journey that led to the kind of care we offer today.

How It All Began

Katie’s journey into chiropractic care started in a very personal way. As a teenager, a sports injury left her struggling with pain and limited movement. What helped her most wasn’t a quick fix or one-size-fits-all solution – it was seeing a chiropractor who took the time to understand her body, listen properly, and offer care that felt both gentle and effective. That early experience planted a seed. She didn’t just recover physically, she discovered a new way of looking at health – one where the body is treated as a whole and healing is supported rather than forced.

From Global Experience to Local Care

Driven by curiosity and a growing passion for chiropractic, Katie completed her studies and went on to work in several practices across the UK. Her time overseas gave her a broader view of how people experience care and wellbeing. From busy urban clinics to calm, quiet spaces, she saw the impact that feeling safe, heard, and supported can have on a person’s health journey. During this time, Katie developed a gentle, thorough, and patient-centred approach, using techniques like Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) to help people feel better in their bodies, without force or discomfort.

Katie felt the pull to return home to New Zealand, driven by a clear sense of purpose. She founded Ignite Chiropractic in Campbells Bay to offer  thorough chiropractic care in a space built on connection and trust. Here, time is taken to understand your needs, and care is always tailored to you. Katie now works with people of all ages and walks of life, supporting them to feel more balanced, more at ease, and more connected to their health.  At Ignite, we believe the body has an incredible capacity to thrive when given the right support.

Our Care Philosophy

At Ignite Chiropractic, we believe good care begins with listening. Every person who walks through the door brings a unique story, and our job is to truly understand yours. Katie offers calm, gentle chiropractic care that supports your whole body, not just the areas that hurt.
Katie uses a range of techniques,from gentle approaches like Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Activator, and drop table methods, to more traditional manual adjustments. All designed to work with your body, not against it. These methods support your nervous system, posture, and overall function by encouraging your body’s natural ability to self-heal. Care is always personalised, respectful, and attuned to what your body needs, when it needs it.
