Founded in 2013, Circle of Life Chiropractic and Natural Therapies is a multi-disciplinary holistic clinic where a team of practitioners work together to get you the best result. With Chiropractic, Kinesiology, and Womens Health Physiotherapy services available, our team can help you reclaim your health!

Our practitioners have a shared belief that the power that made the body can heal the body. That YOU are in charge of your health. Of your families health. Our vision is to empower our clients with knowledge and a plan to reclaim their health.

Our chiropractors can assist with a range of health issues through the use of gentle chiropractic techniques, multiple kinesiology methods such as Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification and NET (Neuroemotional Technique), cranial releases and functional lab tests. When working with children, we complete a full paediatric assessment including assessment of retained primitive reflexes so that we can work to integrate these with your child. Our physiotherapist specialises in Womens health and the pelvic floor in order to assist pregnancy and post birth recovery, pelvic floor weakness, incontinence, diastasis and more.

When you work with us, your chiropractic care goes beyond back pain and headaches, and looks at your whole being, getting to the root cause of your problem. We have helped patients address gut and digestive complaints including parasites and microbiome disruption, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, sleep and behavioural issues in children, bedwetting, colic and food allergies and intolerances. We are integrative and holistic in our approach, and compliment your care with lifestyle modifications, nutritional support and co-management with other practitioners if required (including integrative GP’s, functional dentists, naturopaths, physiotherapists and OT’s/speech pathologists). All of our chiropractors use work with both adults and children, and use several techniques in practice including standard and low force chiropractic adjustments, Applied Kinesiology, Total Body Modification, and cranial releases.

Get in touch and let us nurture the health of you and your family…Naturally.

Meet Dr Katie McManus: Chiropractor/Kinesiologist

Dr Katie graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science in 2005 and a Master of Chiropractic in 2007. She has also completed extensive training and examinations in Chiropractic Functional Neurology and Chiropractic Neuro-rehabilitation by the Carrick Institute, and has undertaken further postgraduate courses in paediatric chiropractic to ensure the most safe, thorough and up-to-date knowledge is used to treat children. Dr Katie is Webster certified for pregnancy, and has studied Total Body Modification and Applied Kinesiology alongside many nutrition and naturopathic seminars to ensure she has a broad spectrum of knowledge and skill.

Dr Katie loves working with children and improving their development, especially with neurobehavioural conditions, using extensive paediatric neurological tests to create personalised exercise and nutrition/supplement plans alongside regular chiropractic care so that your child can reach their full potential.

She is experienced in working with neurodivergent children including autism and ADHD, and uses chiropractic functional neurology techniques and technologies alongside primitive reflex integration to help your child be the best version of themselves.

She enjoys working with clients to solve overall fatigue and poor gut health, using functional pathology testing to identify genetic and nutritional deficiency conditions. This can include testing for MTHFR gene mutations, adrenal saliva panels as well as full gut microbiome tests of all pathogens so that your care plan can really target the issue without the guess work.

Dr Katie loves her work, and is extremely passionate about seeing people take control of their health and feel knowledgeable and empowered. She views the relationship between practitioner and client as a team, and will do whatever it takes to get you where you want to be.

Meet Dr Vanessa Rendall: Chiropractor/Kinesiologist inc NET

Dr Vanessa completed her Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University in 2020, and is incredibly passionate about chiropractic, health and the self empowerment that comes from making the changes needed to improve your life. Her philosophy of treating the whole body, under the triad of health (physical, biochemical and emotional) ensures no stone is left unturned and the root cause of your issues is found.

With a special interest in hormonal health and how emotions can affect our physical being, Dr Vanessa further developed her skills in NET (Neuroemotional Technique) and Applied Kinesiology. 

She also specialises in functional orthodontics, pre and post tongue tie release cranial work and TMJ dysfunction, with a 10 year history of working in the dental industry prior to her graduation, and a great relationship with many of the functional dentists on the Central Coast.

With a passion for fertility and pregnancy care and preparing for birth, Dr Vanessa has attended numerous post graduate courses to further develop her skills in this area, including learning the Webster technique and other approaches that can assist in breech pregnancies. In addition she also loves helping busy mums get out of physical and emotional burnout so that they can show up for the families as the powerhouses they are. Seeing the profound positive impact Chiropractic care has on mums and their families gives Dr Vanessa a strong sense of purpose in her work. She is passionate about women’s health, with a strong focus on autoimmune and hormonal conditions, and extensive knowledge on the gut-brain axis and the influence of specific vitamins/supplements.
