ABOUT US
INNATE Chiropractic Gladstone
Innate Chiropractic Gladstone was born when our original Chiropractor, Dr. Ali, moved to Gladstone to be closer to family, and she had the desire to continue her family practice. The practice aims to be the pre-eminent practice for chiropractic for children and families in the CQ region.
​
Dr. Ali had a strong Pedatric focus, which is how Dr Kate is continuing on the Innate Chiropractic Legacy.
​
Dr Kate loves & lives the premise of Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well, and feels that helping her patients to address these three elements of health can go a long way to optimising health and wellbeing for her practice members.
​
Dr Ali was lucky enough to get Dr Kate to join her team in 2020, to continue the ability of the practice to serve the local community. Dr Ali has since relocated with her family, yet she continues to support Dr Kate and teh team in providing high level evidence informed Chiropractic to the Central Queensland region.
​
Dr Kate has begun taking Innate Chiropractic on the road in 2024, with a once per month visit to Biloela ton continue to serve the region on a greater scale.

hello@innatechirogladstone.com.au
I am a country girl who grew up in regional NSW and moved to Sydney to study Chiropractic, I studied at Macquarie University for 5 years and graduated my Master of Chiropractic in 2020. I have always had a passion to help people and I believe Chiropractic allows me to pursue this passion.
I have a special interest in treating paediatric and pregnant patients, I have had extra training in paediatric courses such as Switched on kids/babies, Inspiral and SOT to ensure I can treat all ages at the best of my ability. My goal at Innate is to treat the whole family and help everyone to reach their ultimate potential of health and wellbeing.
​
In my spare time you will find me at the gym, the beach, chasing adventures and catching up with family and friends.
