Meet Dr Alice Taylor: Chiropractor/Kinesiologist

Dr. Alice is a warm, holistic chiropractor who integrates gentle structural care with a deep understanding of the nervous system and its influence on health. She completed her Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and Master of Chiropractic at Macquarie University, followed by further studies in kinesiology and muscle testing, including Total Body Modification (TBM), and postgraduate training in paediatric and pregnancy chiropractic care. This additional expertise enables her to provide comprehensive care for women throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period, as well as for infants and children as they grow and develop.

Her clinical approach combines traditional manual and low-force chiropractic techniques, breathwork, and parasympathetic nervous system regulation to reduce tension and support whole-body balance. Alice also incorporates neurological and primitive reflex assessments to identify retained reflex patterns and create corrective exercise plans that promote optimal brain and motor development. Each care plan is personalised, aiming to restore alignment, enhance resilience, and improve overall wellbeing.

With nearly a decade of experience as a gymnastics coach, Alice brings a unique appreciation for movement, coordination, and posture. She is particularly passionate about pregnancy and postnatal care, paediatric neurology, and supporting patients through stress-related and functional health challenges. Her goal is to help every individual feel calm, aligned, and confident in their body’s ability to heal and adapt.
