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.

Remedial Massage
Dominique
“Anywhere…Everywhere…What energy, space and consciousness can we be that would allow us to be who we truly are? What does it take to be at the top of the world now and in the future?
Domi was born in France, on Australia Day. She lived in Paris for about 25 years, working in Administration and ended up in Australia in 2003 working as a Room Attendant, while preparing her Diploma in Remedial Massage.
Dominique launched her own natural therapies business in 2011 starting with Remedial Massage and Reiki, then gaining qualifications in Access Consciousness, Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Genome Healing along the way. And we are very lucky to have her in our Empowering Wellness team! How could it get any better than this? What else is possible?
Remedial Massage
Lisa Jones
“Life is all about Balance, correct your imbalances and let the vitality flow”
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. Her other interests in nutrition, aromatherapy and skin care mean she offers a wide range of modalities and can customize each treatment to specifically meet the client’s needs.
Reception/Administration
Chilli
“When we feel our best, we can give our best”
Chilli is originally from Argentina, but has been moving around the world for the past 8 years.
She started her career graduating with a Marketing & Advertising Bachelor and working in the Communication area for companies as Telecom for over 10 years in Buenos Aires, but after that, she gave a 180~ turn to her life, as she turned into a Yoga Instructor and started travelling and living life in what she considered a more conscious and giving way. Chilli has been involved in volunteer jobs everywhere she’s been, helping mainly children in education and environmental awareness. At the moment she also develops as a recreational worker with people with disabilities.
She also shares Yoga Classes as part of the Active and Healthy Gold Coast program every Wednesday morning at 6am at North Burleigh Surf Club.
Chilli has been here in Australia since 2014, and feels grateful to have found Empowering Wellness Burleigh, as a place to learn every day from its wonderful team members, in a professional but also holistic way.
