Hi, I’m Dr Gretchen Balas.  I love helping people find their health through Chiropractic!  I graduated from RMIT with distinction, and hold a Bachelor of Health Science (Chiropractic) and Masters in Clinical Chiropractic.  In my former career, I worked in business administration, accounting and financial planning.  My love for Chiropractic came after a recommendation from a work colleague to seek help for my chronically painful neck – aggravated from a combination of past horse riding accidents and long hours sitting at a desk job. That first adjustment literally changed my life! I never realised the power of Chiropractic on my health and wellbeing. I embarked on the 5 year university journey because I knew I could change the lives of other people and the community, just like it had for me. Initially my chiropractic career was based on manual adjusting, however over time I discovered lower force techniques such as Network Spinal and Torque Release Technique– which I found to make more sustainable changes in the long term, and change old patterns which kept me repeating the same aspects in my life. I have attended many chiropractic technique seminars since beginning my Chiropractic journey, and recently have completed the Integral Energetics 2 year course from Tree of Life Integral Centre.  I love keeping up to date with Chiropractic and health science research, including new developments in quantum healing, energy and functional medicine, nutrition and of course, I don’t mind some cosmic inspiration!
