Hi, Welcome to ADIO,
I’m Dr Dannielle, and I’m so excited to be part of the beautiful Gordonvale community after moving here with my young family from the bright lights of Brisbane. I look forward to getting to know you and your loved ones and supporting everyone’s health and wellbeing through chiropractic care.
My approach: is to care for you ADIO style - Above, Down, Inside, Out.
My aim: simple but effective, help you do the things you have to do, want to do, and love to do—without limitation or hesitation.
My goal: treat others how I would like to be treated, with care tailored to your individual needs. I want you and your family functioning at their best and living life to the fullest, no matter the age or stage of life. See the value in and adopt a proactive rather than reactive approach to care with long term health and lifestyle benefits.
Care style: a multi-modality, holistic approach, tailored to your individual needs. Treatment sessions may include:
• Manipulative adjustments
• Soft tissue work
• Dry needling
• Stretching
• Rehabilitative care
• Education around posture, ergonomics, nutrition and more
A bit about me:
Over the years, I’ve pursued extensive postgraduate training including: SD Protocol, Thompson Technique, Webster Technique, Syntropy Chiropractic, and Dry Needling, among others.
I graduated with a 1st Class Honours Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic from the University of Glamorgan in Wales, UK, in 2005 (yes that’s a while ago now). I’ve had the privilege of practicing across the world—growing up in the Far East, Middle East, and UK, before opening Oman’s first ever mixer chiropractic clinic and later relocating to Australia in 2011. Prior to moving to Gordonvale I spent a decade owning and operating my own successful chiropractic clinic.
In 2010 (after being a chiro for 5 years), my life took an unexpected turn when I survived a 10-metre fall, resulting in: 10+ spinal fractures, rib fractures, skull fracture, partially dislocated jaw, severe concussion and temporary memory loss. I was extremely lucky not only to survive but avoid permeant, significant complications. After months of rehabilitation and recovery, I gained not only firsthand experience of complex musculoskeletal injury—but a deep, personal appreciation of what it means to heal and regain function in a holistic long-term way without the risks other methods carry. Chiropractic care played, and continues to play, a central role in my recovery, especially as I now manage early spinal disc degeneration and osteoarthritis.
My personal journey allows me to truly understand and empathise with the physical—and emotional—challenges that come with injury, pain, and not feeling like yourself. This lived experience shapes every aspect of my care.
So, let’s work together.
Whether you’re seeking help with pain, recovery, performance, or simply want to feel and function better day to day, I’m here to support you. I look forward to working with you on your health journey.
I hope to see you soon,
