Meet Leonie Lancaster

 

For Leonie, becoming a Chiropractor wasn't just a career choice
- it was a calling.

​

Growing up, she witnessed firsthand the impact that a neurological disorder had on her mother and the profound effect it had on their family. That experience sparked a lifelong fascination with the nervous system and a genuine desire to help people regain their health and quality of life.

As a teenager, Leonie's parents took her to a Chiropractor as a last resort after she had struggled with ongoing pain and the side effects of medication. The experience was life-changing. She discovered an approach that was both logical and practical—one that focused on restoring normal function rather than simply masking symptoms. It offered a path to better health without relying on drugs, and she immediately knew this was the profession she wanted to pursue.

​

After completing her five-year chiropractic degree in 1993, Leonie spent several years working throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom as a locum chiropractor. This experience exposed her to a wide variety of patients, conditions and chiropractic techniques, helping her develop a broad clinical skillset and an adaptable approach to patient care.

In 2000, Leonie chose to settle in Warrnambool, establishing practices in both Warrnambool and Terang. Since then, she has had the privilege of caring for generations of local families and building lasting relationships with her patients.

​

Never content to stop learning, Leonie completed two years of postgraduate study in functional neuroscience through the internationally recognised Carrick Institute, earning the qualification of Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). This advanced training has deepened her understanding of how the brain and nervous system influence balance, movement, pain, coordination and recovery.

​

With more than three decades of clinical experience, Leonie is passionate about understanding why people are experiencing their symptoms, not simply where they hurt. She enjoys combining the principles of Chiropractic with contemporary neuroscience to better understand how the brain, nervous system and body work together. Her approach is always centered on helping patients improve the way they move, function and feel, while empowering them to better understand their own health.

​

More than three decades later, Leonie remains just as passionate about helping people understand their bodies, improve their function and achieve better health. She believes every patient deserves to be listened to, thoroughly assessed and provided with care that is tailored to their individual needs. For Leonie, it is a privilege to be part of each patient's journey towards better health.
