Meet Dr. Nina
With a heart for holistic family wellness, Dr. Nina brings her passion for pediatric and perinatal chiropractic care to Gathering Wellness Collaborative. As a Webster certified chiropractor who joined our team in November 2025, Dr. Nina is dedicated to empowering families through natural, nervous system-focused care for mothers, infants and children, and every member of your family.
A Mission to Serve
Dr. Nina’s journey to chiropractic began in New Zealand, where she worked as a chiropractic assistant and witnessed something remarkable—patients with conditions that nobody else could solve were healing through chiropractic care alone, without medications or major lifestyle changes. This holistic approach to healthcare captured her heart.
When the opportunity came to play lacrosse at Life University, where her own chiropractor had graduated in 1997, Dr. Nina knew it was the perfect path. Her passion for serving families, especially pregnant moms and children, stems from a deep belief in setting up the nervous system for success from the very beginning.
“Getting families under regular chiropractic care early allows us to set their nervous system up for the best trajectory of their life,” she explains. “It really starts with pregnancy because chiropractic can help prevent so many challenges. The nervous system begins developing 6 weeks in utero, so by helping mama regulate her nervous system while growing baby, we are setting baby up for the best trajectory of their life with a well-regulated nervous system.”
Discovering the Healing Potential of Chiropractic Care
While studying at Life University, Dr. Nina’s understanding of chiropractic deepened around one core principle that resonates with her to this day.
The power that made the body heals the body. If we live life free of interference, the sky is the limit with what we are capable of.
As a college athlete, Dr. Nina experienced firsthand how chiropractic became her natural performance-enhancing tool. She saw her athletic ability improve and experienced fewer injuries once her nervous system was regulated through regular chiropractic care. This personal transformation fuels her passion for helping others experience the same benefits.
Additional Certifications
Dr. Nina has pursued extensive training to serve families well. She’s Webster Certified and has completed advanced perinatal and infant chiropractic care training through the ICPA, equipping her with specialized knowledge for supporting mothers and babies. Her commitment to ongoing education also includes specialized Pediatric and Family Chiropractic training through the Pediatric Experience.
These certifications reflect Dr. Nina’s dedication to providing safe, effective care tailored to each stage of family life—from pregnancy and newborn adjustments through childhood development and beyond.
Family Life
Originally from New Zealand, Dr. Nina made the journey across the world to play college lacrosse at Life University—where she discovered her calling in chiropractic care. She’s an adventurer at heart who loves staying active through hiking, pickleball, and just about any sport.
Her favorite way to recharge? Being near the ocean or any body of water, which keeps her connected to her New Zealand roots. Whether she’s exploring new trails or traveling to new places, Dr. Nina brings that same spirit of adventure and enthusiasm to caring for families at GWC.
Her background as a college athlete gives her a unique understanding of body mechanics and physical wellness, which she brings into every adjustment.

Whether caring for newborns, supporting moms through pregnancy and postpartum, or helping families maintain optimal health, Dr. Nina’s expertise in pediatric and perinatal chiropractic ensures every member of your family receives care tailored to their unique needs and stage of life.
