Meet The Team

After completing her Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Clinical Chiropractic at RMIT

University Melbourne, Dr. Tonilee Has gone on to complete her Postgraduate degree in Sports

Chiropractic (ICSSP)

With the rest of her family, Dr Tonilee was fortunate to receive regular chiropractic care from a

young age. Experiencing firsthand the impact on her development, performance, health and

wellbeing, she’s passionate about providing the highest quality of care to the entire family:

ranging from pregnancy and babies to grandparents.

Tonilee was an active teen - she enjoyed all sports, especially athletics and equestrian. This

sparked her interest in sports chiropractic and exercise rehab, motivating her to complete her

two-year post-graduate studies in Sports Chiropractic Science (ICSSP) after university.

Tonilee enjoys using a diverse range of techniques ranging from gentle care for kids to the

stronger techniques used with athletes. She incorporates a holistic approach: looking at the

physical, chemical (nutritional) and emotional well-being of each of her patients. This keeps

every day interesting and maintains her motivation to have strong referral networks with other

health practitioners.

Outside work and study, you will find Tonilee playing with her Golden Retriever Murphy, keeping

fit or travelling. Growing up in far east country Victoria influenced Tonilee’s love for travel and

activities. An ideal day for Tonilee (other than helping others achieve their health goals) is being

outside at the snow or on the water with friends and family.
