DERBY FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC | MEET THE TEAM
Chiropractor at our Chellaston clinic
I'm Natalie, a chiropractor at Derby Family Chiropractic's Chellaston clinic.
My approach combines chiropractic care with my background in sports science, movement and soft tissue therapy.
I particularly enjoy working with older adults, helping them remain as active, mobile and independent as possible.
I believe good care starts with listening, understanding what matters to each patient and finding an approach that suits their individual needs.

EXPERIENCE
Qualified in 2016 Joined Derby Family Chiropractic in 2020
My interest in chiropractic began through my own experiences with running injuries.
I visited several healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. Of the approaches I experienced, chiropractic resonated most strongly with me.
I initially sought help for my injuries, but I also felt that chiropractic care positively influenced my general wellbeing and sporting performance.
That experience sparked my interest in the profession.
I began working alongside chiropractors as a Chiropractic Assistant and Sports Massage Therapist before deciding to train as a chiropractor myself.
My studies began at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic, where I spent six months before continuing my training at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
I qualified in 2016 and subsequently established my own chiropractic practice near Towcester.
After Stuart and I welcomed our daughter, Amber, in 2018, I moved to Derbyshire. In September 2020, we opened Derby Family Chiropractic's Chellaston clinic, where I've been practising ever since.
Alongside my Master of Chiropractic qualification, I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sports Science and have training in sports massage.
I've continued developing my clinical skills through postgraduate training in Diversified chiropractic techniques, muscle testing and soft tissue release.
My background in sports science and massage complements my chiropractic work, giving me an interest in how muscles, joints and movement contribute to everyday activities.
Although I enjoy treating people of different ages and backgrounds, I have a particular interest in working with older adults.
Whether someone wants to continue gardening, enjoy their daily walks or remain independent as they get older, I enjoy helping them work towards the activities that matter to them.
Having experienced running injuries myself, I understand how frustrating it can be when pain or restricted movement interferes with the things you enjoy.
I believe it's important to listen carefully, understand each patient's concerns and explain treatment options clearly.
I use a combination of chiropractic techniques and adapt my approach according to each patient's health, preferences and individual circumstances.
"Not everyone needs the same treatment, and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach."
My aim is to help patients feel comfortable, informed and involved in decisions about their care.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing people regain confidence in their movement and return to the activities that matter to them.
When I'm not working, I enjoy watching most sports, particularly athletics.
I'm also a lifelong Arsenal supporter, thanks to some early brainwashing by my dad and grandad!
I love walking in the countryside with Monty, our Jackapoo, and going trials riding with my daughter, Amber.
I'm also rather partial to exercising on a trampette or rebounder. It brings out the child in me and never fails to lift my mood.
Barcelona remains one of my favourite places. I spent six months living there while beginning my chiropractic studies and developed a lasting appreciation for the city — and its cortados!
I'm equally happy with tea or coffee, although a good flat white is hard to beat.
As for being an early bird, I don't have much choice. Between an energetic daughter and a crazy dog, lie-ins are something of a distant memory!
And my favourite film? Pretty Woman. No contest.
I practise at Derby Family Chiropractic's Chellaston clinic, where we welcome patients seeking assessment and individualised chiropractic care.
If you'd like to arrange a consultation, you can book online or contact reception for help choosing the appropriate appointment.
Whether you're experiencing a new musculoskeletal problem or would like to discuss ongoing care, we're happy to explain your options.
