Introducing our passionate team
Chiropractor, Kinesiologist, Acupuncturist
Dr Chris Ientile
“I will listen, I do care and I’m here to help”
With over 35 years of experience, his care phrase has been demonstrated, “He will always listen, truly cares, and is here to help”.
Dr Chris is committed to permanent personal development and holds qualification in a number of techniques to adjust the spine and nervous system, which include:
Applied Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Neuro Emotional Technique, SOT, Neurolink, Gonstead and his profound understanding of how the body works.
“I love what I do and at 64, after 35 years in practice I still love coming to work. I love that I can help people’s pain disappear and their lives change as result of that… I mean -who enjoys being in pain?-…it changes the way you feel, think and live. Healing is a joint effort between you and me…I have a lot of knowledge and skill, and your body has an innate ability to heal itself…I just help remove the interference.”
After 2 years in Chiropractic practice and after undertaking extensive kinesiology studies, Chris decided to learn the ancient art of Acupuncture in Sri Lanka. He was trained intensely under Professor Anton Jashuria, one of the world’s leading acupuncturists.

A life long interest in helping people and a fascination with human biology even from an early age meant Lisa was destined to work within the healing realm. Originally from England, Lisa brings her knowledge and experience from the small Anglo Saxon County of Norfolk to the Gold Coast.
Unsatisfied from working in the health and beauty business, Lisa decided to further her career by training as a Remedial Massage Therapist and Reiki healer.
