PRACTITIONERS & STAFF

Our Practitioners

Amanda Conley

Chiropractor

Amanda graduated from Macquarie Uni way back when, following an early career in dance and remedial massage. Having grown up in dance, Amanda was treated by Jeff and that became her ultimate inspiration to study chiropractic in Sydney. Amanda worked as a massage therapist in our first clinic in Neutral Bay whilst studying to become a Chiropractor, so basically she's never left. She has always embraced the osteopathic philosophy in her hands-on approach and in recent years Amanda has gained extensive experience in low level laser therapy. Laser is a painless, non-invasive therapy that works at a cellular level to relieve pain, promote healing, reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension. Combining these skills and experience sees Amanda with a varied and loyal patient base.

Our Staff & Management

The administration team's wide ranging talents are a collection from a variety of backgrounds, with one thing in common - they believe the treatment starts at the first contact. Judy and Jeff have worked together since the Neutral Bay days back in 1994. Judy has nurtured the practitioner and admin teams through many changes and innovations, and locations for that matter. Kate has been a much valued member of the admin team since Collaroy's inception in 2007. Though she has worked in each of the other locations, it has been wonderful to have Kate's friendliness and capability a constant at our Collaroy practice. Vicki and Janelle joined us a decade later bringing with them valuable skills and experience and Darcie had no choice but to join in, adding youthful exuberance and the academic skills she's currently studying.
