Meet the Team at Joint Space Chiropractic

Dr Taylor Epplett-Fletcher
Owner + Head Chiropractor

Kia Ora, before moving to Auckland and studying to join New Zealand’s incredible team of chiropractors, I was born and raised in beautiful Hawkes Bay. After nearly 6 years, I’ve decided to come back home to my roots and build a clinic to give back to my family, friends and community.

Each day I gain more passion and respect for the essential role chiropractic care has for the spine and nervous system. I love working with all ranges of people, from families of all ages, to determined athletes looking to up their game. Here at Joint Space Chiropractic, I strive to make your goals my own, whether it’s getting out of pain and discomfort, or optimising your body’s function.

Keeley Swinton
Owner + Clinic Manager

Kia Ora, I believe chiropractic care has improved my overall quality of life. Keeping up with our gorgeous Son, general daily stresses, while being a Martial Artist, can definitely take a toll on me. I started my journey with chiropractic care not long after herniating a disk in my spine, which nearly resulted in surgery. At that point I realised that I wasn’t as unstoppable as I thought, I then took the proactive steps to recover and maintain the one and only body I have. Taylor has had my back and been in my corner with all my passions, now I am honoured to work alongside him to support him to do what he loves.

Vanessa Choat, Chiropractic Assistant

In her role at the practice, Vanessa loves helping patients and seeing them get out of pain and on the path towards optimal health. “I chose this path as I was looking for something that was energy-filling, energy-giving, holistic and wholesome.” Vanessa also likes that her position has allowed her to develop new skills and build connections with people.

In 2018, Vanessa earned a Bachelor of Education (majoring in Early Childhood Teaching) from Auckland University. She takes professional development courses to stay abreast of the latest in chiropractic care and looks forward to learning and doing more!

Outside the practice, Vanessa likes working out at the gym, going on weekend adventures, hitting the beach and exploring new places. Other favourite activities include baking, gardening, cafe hopping and spending quality time with friends and family.

Teina, Chiropractic Assistant

Teina was inspired to choose her profession because she was looking for a challenge where she could step out of her comfort zone and learn new and different things every day. We’re thrilled that she found us at Joint Space Chiropractic!

Teina earned her diploma in business at E.I.T last year. She is currently pursuing an electrical engineering course at E.I.T in the mornings during weekdays and heads straight to work once she’s finished.

The most fulfilling aspect of working at Joint Space Chiropractic for Teina is the daily learning experience. She loves that the team brainstorms together to overcome obstacles and celebrates each achievement like they’ve won a championship.

Outside of work, Teina loves road trips and discovering new areas she hasn’t seen before. Spending quality time with family is also very important to her. Get to know more about her when you book your next visit with us!
