DR. SAMANTHA KEELING
CHIROPRACTOR / OWNER
Kia Ora I’m Sam. I was born and raised right here in North Canterbury. My Chiropractic journey began in my early teens and to me it just made sense. I graduated from the world-renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic and before starting up Habitat I was in practice up in Auckland whilst working for the New Zealand College of Chiropractic as their Recruitment Officer. I have been fortunate enough to travel New Zealand and internationally, educating and inspiring others on Chiropractic and this wonderful profession.
I love empowering all people by helping them realise that they are extraordinary and that health is their natural state of being. However, being a Mum myself, I have a real passion for pregnant women, infants and children. I have spent a lot of time since graduation furthering my education in these fields to better serve our small humans and their family units.
When I am not working with people to discover their inner potential I can usually be found enjoying family time and exploring this beautiful place we inhabit.
DR. COOPER BROTMAN
ChiropractOR
Hey, I'm Cooper! I was born in Canada and have been living out my dream in New Zealand for the last 5 years, and am excited to be calling Christchurch my new home.
Dreaming often, thinking big and reaching goals is what keeps me smiling day to day. Enjoying the warmth of the sun, the saltiness of the ocean and good hill to climb are some of my essentials.
MY VISION is to help people flow through life effortlessly, fall back in love with their journey and to enable them to be more resilient every day.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
DR. RIZE MICHAU
ChiropractOR
Hello, I’m Rize. I was born in South Africa but have been living in New Zealand since I was 11 and I’ve been enjoying Christchurch for the last 2 years.
Communities thrive when each individual in the community is able to express the best version of themselves. I’m so excited to be a part of the family at Habitat that so effortlessly embodies all aspects of health and well-being.
I’ll most likely be out exploring Christchurch though tramping, camping and surfing. I can’t wait to meet you all either through care or a good chinwag in the practice!
DR. REBEKAH FREW
ChiropractOR
My journey with Chiropractic began as a result of some health challenges while I was studying secondary teaching. I was so amazed at how empowered chiropractic enabled me to be, after several years of teaching I decided to study at the highly respected New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
I've benefited from chiropractic care through many stages and parts of life. It's played a big part in me thriving by enabling my active lifestyle, supporting stress management during study, improving my everyday quality of life and most recently supporting me through and post pregnancy.
My experiences have led to a passion for sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with all members of the family. As a new mum, I am particularly passionate about chiropractic in our younger members of the family and during pregnancy.
I look forward to welcoming you to Habitat Chiropractic and being a part of your journey to greater health and well-being with Chiropractic care.
