About Us & Our Team
Be Kind. Be Well.
Our Philosophy
A well-functioning spine and nervous system play an important role in everyday comfort and movement.
Although many people come to us because they are experiencing pain, they often choose to continue care as part of supporting their overall well-being.
Our Purpose
Our intention is simple…
We wanted to create a safe, welcoming space designed to support you and your family in looking after your health and wellbeing, so you can continue enjoying everyday life.
MEET OUR TEAM…
the heart and soul of House of Healing Chiropractic!
DR. ELSIE
FOUNDER/CHIROPRACTOR
B.Hsci/B.AppSci(Chiropractic)/M.HumNut
Dr. Elsie is a chiropractor, nutritionist, and mum with a passion for empowering families to live healthier, happier lives.
Her vision for House of Healing was to create more than just a chiropractic practice... it’s a space where families feel nurtured, supported, and truly seen. Inspired by her own holistic health journey as a child, she developed a deep passion for raising thriving, healthy children and families, naturally.
A self-confessed health nerd, Dr. Elsie completed her Chiropractic studies at RMIT before going on to earn her Master of Human Nutrition at Deakin University, with a special interest in paediatric, pregnancy, and postpartum nutrition. She has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in sacro-occipital technique (SOT), neuro-emotional technique (NET), and pregnancy care, including Webster Certification through the ICPA, as well as a wide variety of paediatric chiropractic courses. She is currently completing her two-year postgraduate Diplomate with the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics (DACCP) while continuing further studies in nutrition.
Her warm, bubbly nature helps families feel instantly at ease, while her commitment to excellence ensures care that is both professional and deeply personal. Whether she’s adjusting a newborn, supporting an expecting mum, or helping a parent manage life’s daily stresses, Dr. Elsie’s purpose is always the same: to honour the incredible ability of the body to heal and thrive when the spine and nervous system are supported.
Outside the practice, you’ll often find her on a volleyball court, soaking up life with her husband and little boy Carter, or at the beach with their two dogs, Indi and Isla. She also loves nothing more than enjoying great food with even better company.
DR. KELLY
CHIROPRACTOR
B.H.Sci.Chiro/M.Clin.Chiro
Dr. Kelly is a local Bendigo mum with more than a decade of clinical experience as a chiropractor, caring for families from newborns to grandparents and everyone in between. Even before becoming a mother herself, she was drawn to supporting babies and children—not only in their growth and development, but also in helping them thrive in life. She feels honoured to walk alongside mums, not only during pregnancy, but also in the tender and sacred time of transitioning into motherhood.
She has completed extensive postgraduate training in paediatric care, most notably achieving her Postgraduate Diplomate of Chiropractic Neurodevelopmental Paediatrics in 2022. Dr. Kelly also holds advanced certification in Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), a gentle, low-force style of chiropractic.
With a background in high-level sport, Dr. Kelly also enjoys working with athletes to optimise performance and recovery by ensuring their spine and nervous system are functioning at their best.
Her care is family-focused, health-centred, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual she supports.
Outside of practice, Dr. Kelly is a proud mum who loves spending time with her family, keeping active, and enjoying the outdoors. She looks forward to supporting you and your family with her gentle, empowering approach to chiropractic care.
Dr. Kelly is available Tuesdays & Saturdays.
KAYLA
PRACTICE MANAGER
Kayla is the friendly face you’ll often see when you walk into House of Healing Chiropractic. As our Practice Manager, she keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes while making sure each person who steps through our doors feels welcomed and cared for. With a background in healthcare, Kayla brings both experience and compassion to her role, ensuring our practice is a supportive space for families.
Outside the practice, Kayla is a proud mum to little Conley and loves staying active by playing netball, getting outside for a walk in the fresh air and hitting the gym. She’s a self-confessed foodie (especially if it involves Vietnamese.. Pho is her absolute favourite!) and can usually be found with a vanilla iced latte in hand.
Kayla’s warm, bubbly nature makes her a joy to have on our team and a big part of why our practice feels like family.
She's also affectionately known by many as the baby whisperer!
HETTY
CHIROPRACTIC ASSISTANT
Hetty is one of the smiling faces who will greet you at House of Healing Chiropractic, always ready to make you feel comfortable and cared for. As one of our Chiropractic Assistants, she loves supporting families on their health journey and being part of the warm, welcoming community we’ve created here.
Currently studying to become a nurse, Hetty has a passion for healthcare and is excited about building a career that allows her to help and connect with people.
Outside of the practice, she’s a self-confessed shopaholic. You’ll often find her in some cute active wear with a strawberry matcha in hand, planning her dream of a European summer getaway.
Hetty’s friendly, bubbly personality makes her an invaluable part of our team, bringing joy and positivity to everyone who walks through our doors.
Our Origin Story
House of Healing was founded with the intention of changing lives.
Funded in part from an inheritance left by our founder Dr. Elsie’s late mother Sarah who sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2022. Sarah had a passion for all things adventure, activity and the outdoors as well as a love for creativity displayed by her affinity for art and music (the cello). There are sentiments to Sarah throughout this space, she truly shaped the way in which we cherish our health and this life.
Your health is your greatest wealth, step into our house and let us help you nurture yours!
