Our Team

We are a family practice transforming the health of the community through chiropractic and lifestyle adjustments

Veronica Hope - Senior Chiropractor

B.App.Sci.Chiropractic

Veronica was born and raised in rural Victoria, Australia. As a young girl Veronica witnessed first hand the benefits of spinal adjustments on the recovery from ill health of a family member. The impression from this experience was so profound that Veronica decided to work in this field of health care. Upon graduating from high school Veronica attended The Phillip Institute of Technology in Melbourne Australia and graduated as a Chiropractor in 1990.

Since graduating, Veronica has completed extensive post graduate training in spinal care during pregnancy, paediatrics, various techniques including spinal biophysics and spinal/postural correction, nutrition, diagnostics updates, philosophy as well as prevention and wellness based holistic health care. Veronica is a respected and inspiring public speaker in the field of holistic health care and speaks nationally and in the local community regularly.

After practicing in both Australia and England Veronica and her husband Scott and their two children have settled in Canterbury. In 1999 Veronica and Scott established the Hope Spinal Wellness Practice. It was our purpose to inspire and educate the community that a healthy life comes from nurturing our own inborn healing potential. Our ethos is not only helping people with symptoms but also truly understanding the cause of ill health and correcting that. Our focus is on teaching people how to be well again.
