Experience:

Ivanna is a chiropractor with a special interest in paediatrics and is currently studying to become a lactation consultant. Her approach involves focusing on the connection between the health of both mother and baby, and treating both together.

Ivanna has always felt drawn to helping others, and her interest in chiropractic care was inspired by an early interest in the body’s role in healing itself. Her initial focus on sports medicine has since evolved into concentrating on maternal and child health.

Ivanna has significant experience in volunteering and community outreach work, and this has strengthened her belief in the positive benefits of chiropractic treatments. Her commitment to helping others has also seen her become actively involved in organising events and projects aimed at supporting sick and underprivileged children.

Ivanna undertook shadow work at ChiroKids before joining our team on a full-time basis, and she can now put her expertise in lactation management, breastfeeding counselling, and maternal-infant nutrition to excellent use, alongside her chiropractic skills.

She believes that chiropractic care plays a crucial role in the overall wellbeing of both mothers and their babies, and that through holistic care, she can promote their health and happiness.
