Director & Principle Chiropractor
B.CHIRO, EVT CERTIFIED, MNZCA, DIPP.APP.SCI.
My journey with chiropractic began when I was 16, after experiencing the benefits of chiropractic care firsthand. That experience sparked an interest that eventually led me to the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, where I graduated in 2022.
I founded Sunstone Chiropractic in 2024 with a vision to create something more than just a chiropractic clinic. I wanted to build a warm, welcoming practice where people genuinely feel cared for, listened to and comfortable — and where chiropractors can work together as a team to provide high-quality, personalised care to the South Auckland community.
My long-term vision for Sunstone has always been to grow a team of chiropractors who share those same values. Every person who walks through our doors is different, and I believe their care should reflect that.
I’m incredibly proud of what Sunstone Chiropractic is becoming and of the team we’re building around it. I look forward to welcoming you
into our practice and being part of your journey towards moving, feeling and functioning at your best.

Doctor of Chiropractic
B.CHIRO, EVT CERTIFIED, MNZCA, DIPP.APP.SCI.
My journey with chiropractic started long before I became a chiropractor myself. I’ve been receiving chiropractic care since my primary school years, and those early experiences gave me an appreciation for gentle, specific care and inspired me to eventually pursue chiropractic as a career.
I went on to study at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, where my passion for helping people grew even stronger. I love being able to work with people from all walks of life and provide care that is personalised to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
For me, chiropractic care is also about creating a space where people feel genuinely listened to, comfortable and supported. I enjoy getting to know each person, understanding what matters to them and adapting my approach to suit their individual needs, preferences and goals.
Outside of the practice, I love keeping active through gym workouts and yoga, spending time outdoors or at the beach, reading, and spending quality time with my friends and family.
I’m so excited to be part of the Sunstone Chiropractic team and look forward to meeting you and supporting you throughout your chiropractic journey.

My approach to chiropractic care is centred around taking the time to understand each person as an individual. I believe it’s important that you not only feel comfortable with your care, but also understand what we’re doing and why — so you can feel confident and involved throughout the process.
I take a thorough, whole-body approach to my assessments, looking beyond where discomfort may be presenting to better understand how the body is moving and functioning as a whole. From there, I tailor my care to suit each person’s individual needs, preferences and goals.
In practice, I use a range of chiropractic techniques, including hands-on spinal adjustments and cranial work. I particularly enjoy a more manual approach to chiropractic care while adapting my techniques to what is most appropriate and comfortable for each person.
One of the most rewarding parts of being a chiropractor is helping people feel more confident in their bodies and supporting them as they work towards moving more comfortably and getting back to the things that matter to them.
I’m proud to be part of the Sunstone Chiropractic team and look forward to welcoming you into the practice.

Chiropractic Intern
I’m currently in my final year of study at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, completing my clinical externship here at Sunstone Chiropractic as I work towards graduating in November 2026.
I’m passionate about helping people move and function at their best, and I enjoy taking a friendly, down-to-earth approach that helps people feel comfortable and supported throughout their care.
During my externship, I’m continuing to build on the knowledge and practical experience I’ve gained throughout my studies, providing personalised chiropractic care tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals.
All of my care at Sunstone is provided as a chiropractic intern under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Hazel Lohi, giving me the opportunity to continue learning while gaining valuable experience within the South Auckland community.
I’m excited to be part of the Sunstone Chiropractic team and look forward to meeting you in the practice!
