Dr Kirby’s Story

Originally hailing from Portland on the South West coast of Victoria, Dr. Kirby joined Geelong Chiropractic in 2020 and brought with her 10 years of professional experience as a Melbourne-based Family and Sports Chiropractor.

Dr Kirby’s devotion to working with pregnant mums and children is where her expertise shines. Having completed an extra two-year postgraduate diplomate in Chiropractic Neuro-Developmental Paediatrics, her knowledge in this field brings a new level of care to Geelong families. Although she sees newborns through to adolescence, she has a particular interest in working with kids with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD, ADHD and learning difficulties. She has knowledge in the field of retained primitive reflexes and brain balance exercise therapies.

Sports Chiropractic is also one of Dr Kirby’s great passions, and her dedication to helping athletes reach their goals through expert Chiropractic care and applied functional movement techniques is second to none. As a previous national and international Crossfit athlete, Dr Kirby has first-hand knowledge of how vital it is to give the body ongoing care and treatment to perform at a peak level.

When she’s not in the clinic you’ll find her being a supermum to her two step kids, baby boy and her fur babies, or hanging with her husband.

Dr Eden Raymond-McLean

Senior Chiropractor

Dr. Eden’s Story  

Full of spirit, a passion for health, and a lifelong fascination with what the human body takes to thrive, Dr Eden has nestled into the Geelong Chiropractic team wonderfully.

Dr Eden’s story with chiropractic starts with a love for living an active lifestyle full of adventure, movement, and fun, that was brought to an abrupt halt in her teenage years after suffering a debilitating back injury. Determined to climb her way back to a happy, pain-free, and healthy life as naturally as possible, she found the ultimate support in chiropractic care sparking a new career pathway in helping others do the same.

Dr Eden takes an approach with clients that encourages them to be in an active role at the helm of their own health and wellness journey. She is a strong advocate for women’s health, and she loves supporting her clients with gentle guidance, effective treatments, and comprehensive action plans to get the most out of life in whatever way they desire.

Working at the junction of the art and science of chiropractic and the natural processes of the body is a dream come true for Dr Eden. She has always been in awe of the support, dedication, and multidisciplinary approach of the team at Geelong Chiropractic, and is thrilled to be part of our community!

Eden can be spotted doing cartwheels for fun at any time of day and in any location. She also taught her cat how to play Jenga, although at a severe disadvantage given the lack of opposable thumbs!

Dr Hojin Lee

Chiropractor

Dr. Jin’s Story  

Dr Jin’s pathway to Chiropractic began at a crossroads. His brother was involved in a motor vehicle accident and was given a painstaking choice for rehabilitation – physiotherapy, or chiropractic. With his brother opting for chiropractic, Dr Jin also began having adjustments alongside him and experienced the stress and tension from studying melt away.

Watching the care his brother received in making a full recovery and the wonders chiropractic was doing for them both, Dr Jin was resolved – chiropractic was the career for him.

Bringing a unique perspective as a Korean practitioner fluent in both Korean and English, Dr Jin’s highly personalised treatment approach comes from a place of diversity, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices.

Watching the typical cycle of patients with injuries or musculoskeletal issues being diagnosed with painkillers and sent on their way is why Dr Jin is so passionate about holistic healthcare and wellness. He believes that treating pain is one step in a much bigger approach that looks at overall health and wellness in the long-term to make meaningful progress.

Dr Jin gathered his knowledge by working with and observing allied health practitioners in Melbourne but was drawn to Geelong Chiropractic for the collaborative approach to patient care across modalities and specialties to get the best outcome for everyone walking through the doors.

When Dr Jin isn’t adjusting, he’s a self-confessed fanatical foodie and loves discovering hidden gem restaurants of every variety cuisine and sharing them with others.

Dr Lauryn Schellebeck

Chiropractor

Dr. Lauryn’s Story  

In a love story that began at the age of 12, Dr. Lauryn’s relationship with chiropractic care is embedded into the very fabric of who she is. When her sister was seeking care to help with anxiety, a young Dr. Lauryn – fascinated by how a physical treatment like chiropractic could have a positive effect on mental health – dove headfirst into learning as much as she could about the practice and has never looked back.

Now, as a qualified and experienced chiropractor, Dr. Lauryn is realising her dream to become the type of practitioner she looked up to when she was younger. Educating patients on the lifelong value of holistic health and wellness, Dr. Lauryn helps to guide people out of the revolving door of pain they get stuck in, helping them heal better and make sustainable and positive changes.

Having worked in other clinics that frustratingly prioritised the treatment of symptoms rather than root causes, Dr. Lauryn knew that Geelong Chiropractic was her perfect practitioner community straight away. The holistic approach, supportive environment, and genuine care given to every single patient perfectly aligns with her mission to help people heal better so they can feel better.

Dr. Lauryn is a skilled lifelong dancer (who can still do the splits!) and teaches clinical pilates in her spare time. She also works with the St Kilda Football Club and other local clubs when she’s not dancing or teaching!

Sean Hermann

Exercise Physiologist & Movement Manager

Sean’s Story

From the green scenes of Colac, via the warm rays of Maryborough, and finally settling in Geelong’s regional neighbour, Ballarat, Sean Hermann has now come to join the ranks at Geelong Chiropractic as our resident Exercise Physiologist.

Sean’s flame for exercise physiology was ignited as a high school student, where he completed his work experience at a private practice rehab clinic and saw firsthand how exercise and movement could help heal and empower people.

Eager to pursue a career in the field, Sean went on to study a Bachelor of Exercise Science and Masters of Exercise Physiology, where he took every opportunity presented to him and gained a wealth of experience across two rehabilitation wards and private rehabilitation practice. Through these opportunities, Sean put his education to use and began evolving his unique treatment approach to help prevent and manage injuries, support rehabilitation, and assist in restoring function to people’s bodies, health, and wellbeing.

Sean is a self-confessed sports fanatic and plays football for his local club in Carisbrook, as well as teeing off on the greens at golf, bowling a spinner at cricket, and hitting the nets at basketball. His love for sports and physical activity plays into his intuitive ability to support others in their physical goals.

He has always wanted to move to Geelong and close to the beach, and he barracks for the Richmond Tigers, which may be the reason for his delay in moving here due to the unspoken conflict (which we won’t hold against him). He’s ready to get your body moving to the best of its ability!

Brooke’s Story

Brooke’s journey to Myotherapy was born from a long-held fascination with the human body’s ability to function, adjust, and heal.

The trusting and comfortable relationships she forms with her patients allow her to educate and empower through goal-oriented exercise and preventative care towards a pain-free movement that lasts.

Brooke’s specialty fields include deep tissue massage, cupping, dry needling, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage (for oedema, post-surgery/injury, and hay fever) and rehabilitative exercises.

Tori Hardy

Practice Manager/ Health Coach

Tori has grown up and lived in Geelong her entire life, taking walks along the stunning beaches and always managing time for a good shopping spree at local stores.
