Veronica Hope
B. App Sci. Chiro. Spinal Wellness Chiropractor
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.
In view of having studied and worked extensively, in this field of spinal health, over the past twenty years, Veronica has a unique insight into how spinal and neurological dysfunction can affect the human health potential. As such Veronica practices in a Wellness Model and her emphasis is on optimizing the health of individuals and families through maximizing spinal function and wellness life style habits. Her purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of the community through inspiration, education and adjusting families towards optimal healing using a completely unique and natural approach.

Roz Tanzey
D. App Sci. B.Chiro. Chiropractor
Roz's first contact with chiropractic care was as a teenager growing up in New Zealand when her whole family started getting regular spinal adjustments. The amazing changes she saw in her family’s health sparked her interest in spinal health and inspired Roz to make it her career.
Since graduating in Auckland, New Zealand, Roz has completed further studies in her quest to understand more about health and wellbeing. These areas include nutrition, applied kinesiology, pregnancy, children, sports specific techniques and healthy living. Roz is a firm believer that it’s never too early or late to benefit from spinal and posture adjustments and has worked with all ages from young babies to the elderly and even rugby players.
It is her vision to empower and inspire others to get the most out of life, through spinal adjustments and healthy lifestyle choices. She knows that it is easier to be well if you are provided with the right tools and information. Roz leads a busy life and loves to really live every moment. Whether she’s traveling to a foreign country, running marathons, going to live music gigs or learning about the latest in natural health, you’ll rarely catch her sitting still. As the nervous system and the spine are pivotal to allowing maximal health, Roz is always keen to share her knowledge, wisdom and personal experiences to improve the health of others.
Sue Churchward
Reception
I have been working as a receptionist and assistant at Hope Spinal Wellness for 2 years. I started chiropractic care with Veronica 4 years ago for pain and problems with my low back, headaches and fatigue. There began a new and bigger understanding of health, healing and my own potential for improvement. I have made incredible progress personally and with my health and I joined the Hope Spinal Wellness team as a staff member in 2008.
My healing journey continues.
I very much look forward to meeting and seeing you with personal understanding and a big smile.M
Rebecca Johnson
Massage Therapist
I trained at Canterbury College as a beauty and sports massage therapist gaining a BTEC National diploma in beauty therapy sciences. My focus is now predominantly on sports, spine and therapeutic massage.
I believe that massage is a necessity rather than a luxury and can dramatically improve your quality of life. I also work at the Kingsmead Sports and Leisure centre and it makes me realise the reality, importance and benefits of staying fit and healthy over your lifetime, which I know is also a principle shared at Hope Spinal Wellness. I enjoy meeting people at different stages in their wellness programme and being part of their progress and improvement.
I first heard of Hope Spinal Wellness through the Leisure Centre and then my dad became a patient. He went to Hope for spinal adjustments and a course of treatment and he would talk to me about his progress and show me his stretching exercises. As his care progressed he was clearly feeling better and it showed in his outlook.
Outside of work I enjoy going to the gym, aerobic classes and meeting up with friends. I am available on Monday pm, Wednesday pm, Thursday and Friday am, please call the office for an appointment.
