Our Approach

Why gentle matters

Most people's hesitation about chiropractic comes down to one thing — the idea of being twisted or cracked. It's a reasonable concern, and it's exactly why Shelley chose the techniques she did. SOT and TRT are two of the gentlest approaches in chiropractic care. No forceful manipulation, no cracking, no bracing yourself for something uncomfortable. Just precise, considered care that gives your body the input it needs to heal and function better.

Your Chiropractor

You'll be in good hands with Shelley

Shelley founded FeelGood Chiropractic because she believes good health isn’t just the absence of pain — it’s feeling confident, capable, and comfortable in your own body every day.

She takes the time to understand not just what’s hurting, but what’s getting in the way of you living the life you want. Every visit, you’ll see Shelley personally — there’s no rotating roster of practitioners, no feeling like a number. Just consistent, attentive care from someone who genuinely wants to see you get better.

Outside the practice, Shelley is a mother and animal lover who understands firsthand that life is busy and health can easily take a back seat. She’s here to make it a little easier to put it first.

Shelley holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and Masters of Chiropractic from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, and is a registered member of the New Zealand Chiropractors' Association.

What Our Patients Say

Real people, real results

Shelley is amazing! Oh goodness, I felt immediate relief after our first appt when I left her office and was driving home. I probably didn't realise it but there must have been tension around my neck and head area for a long period of time and I just thought it was normal. Once I was adjusted, I noticed straight away that the pain was gone. I have been treated for headaches and migraines all my life using different specialists and doctors but the relief has only ever been temporary or not quite hit the exact spot for the pain. So thank you for all your help! Shelley is professional, knowledgeable and would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

I found Shelley online after 40+ years of hip and neck pain. I wish I had found her sooner. But I am very pleased to have found her now. After a thorough first consultation and just two treatments, I felt total relief from my hip and neck pain. It feels surreal to say the least to experience the melting away of so many long-standing symptoms. I am highly grateful for Shelley's methodical approach, her clear expertise in this area and the way she listens and responds to what I describe to her about my body. Thank you Shelley. You are highly recommended by me. Kim Silcock

I can’t believe I found Shelley. I have been in pain for so long but was too scared due to the idea of any “ bone popping “. No bone popping in sight. Shelley was so gentle and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I left feeling amazing, no word of a lie. I can’t wait to keep seeing Shelley on my health journey. Couldn’t wish for anyone better. Highly recommended, Shelly is so knowledgeable and experienced. Don’t be like me, if you’re in pain, don’t procrastinate and book ASAP.
