Meet our Director and Principal Chiropractor at The Spine Corner!
Talofa lava, Kia orana and Kamusta
I am Dr Kendall Niuelua (Chiropractor), and I am extremely excited to able to open my clinic here in Sandringham!
I come from a mixture of cultures (fruit salad as they call it), my father being of Samoan descent, and my mother of Cook Island MΔori and Scottish/Irish descent. I am the second eldest of 4 children. I was born and bred here in Auckland, started primary school in Hobsonville before our family relocated to Samoa. It was an eye opening and beautiful experience. Our family moved back to New Zealand when I started high school at Westlake Boys.
After graduating from high school, I had the amazing opportunity to live in the Philippines for two years. I was able to learn the native tongue (Tagalog) and enjoy shocking my Filipino brothers and sisters when I start speaking Tagalog to them. This was a humbling experience to say the least, and I had an amazing time there! I came back to NZ to start University and met my beautiful wife. We have two energetic young children with one more arriving any week now. When I am not at the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my little family, watching/playing anything sports related, and trying to sneak in the odd nap here and there.
I was introduced to Chiropractic at a young age and immediately knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life. Having lived in Samoa and areas of Philippines where the health care is very limited, I wanted to be able to offer something that I could take with me, wherever I went. I have experienced its incredible changes and want to help others have a similar experience! I have a keen interest in learning more about how our bodies function, especially how they adapt to certain environments/traumas.
I am looking forward to immersing myself in the community and providing the best Chiropractic Care that I can offer! If you are in the Sandringham area, pop in and say hi!
