[NEW ERA AT INNATE CHIRO]

I’m sitting here (Dr Ali) writing this as a love letter to the Central Queensland community I called home off and on for 10 years. I am so totally thankful that I had the opportunity to be part of the Gladstone/Boyne/Tannum Community, and that so many of you supported me and chiropractic so wholeheartedly whilst I was there. Building a regional chiropractic practice for children and families that offers a level of care all of our city counterparts would expect was my dream, and I’d love to think we delivered it well!

I couldn’t have done it over the years without the amazing support of some wonderful team members, Anna, Dr Kate, Courtney M, Courtney L, Carla, Mandii, Dani, Natalie, Candice and soon to be Bianca. They have fully jumped on board with all of my crazy ideas, helped plan events and community outreach programs… This team have continued to assist me to serve all of you, even if it was late into the evening. I humbly acknowledge that Innate Chiro has been nothing without all of them playing their part.

As many of you know, my family and I relocated to Perth at the beginning of 2024, and I have been managing Innate Chiro from the other side of the country, whilst leaving the exceptional chiropractic care for the community in the very competent hands of Dr Kate for the last nearly 18 months. But it has come a time where I hand over the reigns to people who live close by, to offer Kate and the team some easier support when they need it, and so they can become part of a larger, wellness and family focused, chiropractic community.

Dr Kate is remaining at the practice, and for all of you, it will feel like not much has changed (except for the addition of HICAPS so you can now claim onsite). Dani is stepping back from the practice front desk as she is focusing on figuring out how 4 kids in school is so very crazy, and we will have Bianca beginning with us this week. Candice is here to stay, and Courtney L will be popping in from time to time as her commitments with the twins and Everett ebbs and flows.

Our new owners are Dr George and Dr Scott, with the majority of the practices they own and run in the Mackay and Central Queensland region. This means that if Kate goes on leave, or if one of our front desk staff is away, we will get coverage… less scrambling so we can show up and serve well. These guys are both exceptional chiropractors, fathers and absolutely love supporting regional communities to get the health that they deserve. I’m so glad we found such a great fit to be part of the Innate Chiro Story. Dr George and Dr Scott already have a practice they own in Biloela, which means there will be a slight location change for our upcoming Biloela clinics. This is an exciting development that means Dr Kate doesn’t have to lug a chiro table across the range in her car! Hooray! The girls will be in touch prior to her first trip to the new location to make sure everyone knows where to go.

As many of you know, we have much family in the region, so I will be back from time to time, and no doubt I’ll be throwing out hugs left, right and centre. This isn’t the end of the Wellness and Vitalistic Chiropractic Story for our community here in Gladdy, it’s just the beginning of a new journey, and one I can’t wait to watch from the other side of the world.

Much love, Ali.xo

[POLYVAGAL THEORY]

Whilst we are off ensuring the health of our nerve systems in the week before Easter, we thought we would share the deep theory behind the Polyvagal Stress Response.

Our nervous system prioritizes safety and connection, and when we feel safe, it allows us to engage socially and thrive, while if we feel threated, it activates survivial responses.

I love to pose this question to people?

Where do you feel safe?
Where do you feel you are supported?
Where do you feel you can thrive?

And conversely....
Where do you feel threatened?
Where do you feel you can't relax?

And when you answer these questions.... then let your mind wander... where do you feel you want to heal? Who do you need to be surrounded by? Where do you need to be?

We would love to hear your thoughts on this! Share them below or send us a message!

We are closed for the week before Easter as we all take a well-deserved reset!

will finish up on Thursday 10th April, and will be returning on Easter Tuesday, the 22nd of April.

Make sure you schedule your last adjustment in before we head out the door to recharge our nerve systems, ensure our vagus is regulated, and enjoy some glorious sleep in's and family time!

Why does [CALM SPACE] matter?

Your brain is continuously assessing its environment to determine if it is in a safe place or a threat space. And how we set up our practices can influence this greatly. One of the great things that we are aware of is the impact that sound, smell and colour have on the brains function.

We pride ourselves on a clear and uncluttered space, amazing essential oils and music that isn't abrasive (no loud radio advertisements or TV in here).

It's the small things that make a difference to your healing.

We look forward to supporting that healing in you!

thrives on working with the Vagus nerve!

In fact, shes already completed her Level 1 McDonald Protocol certification, and is heading to Sydney in June to complete Levels 2 & 3. These adjusting protocols work at accessing the stored patterns in your body that have been impacted by ongoing stress.

If you feel that you have stored stress, or that you don't get that big "SIGH" feeling at some stage in your day, mention it to us on your next visit!

[POLYVAGAL THEORY]

Did you know that your brain actually can't tell the stress difference between a lion and a crazy before school morning?! It's wild isn't it.

Our brain has developed through caveman times, and it evolved without being able to define the difference between the levels of stress we are now under in our modern world.

This means that it remembers stress response as the biggest thing, and particularly for some people, it will thrust you straight to full stress mode.

WE aren't just talking about "feeling stressed", but was it termed physiological stress... the body's stress response.

This also impacts our ability to connect with people, have great emotional regulation and to be our "best self".

If you want to know more about this, or are interested in how Chiropractic can influence your stress and inner workings of self, speak with Dr Kate at your next visit!

01/04/2025

In April we are circling back to share with you all about the Polyvagal theory, stress and why it actually is the driver of great health outcomes for you and your family.

This emerging evidence informed space tells us why we can't seem to break our stress cycles.... we just keep having the same thing happen over and over again. There is also emerging research... thanks Heidi Haavik, about the influence of the chiropractic adjustment on the prefrontal cortex, and pathways that let our vagus nerve know we are safe, we matter and it's ok to be healthy.

This month is going to be ALOT about education, but if you want to jump on board to the real truth, speak with Dr Kate at your next visit about how we can support your vagus nerve and stress responses to support your
healing
immune function
relationships
spinal health.
