I finished my study at the end of 1984 and stayed in Melbourne (where I had studied) until the early 90’s running a practice in East Doncaster with my husband Geoff. We had our first two daughters during this time Emily and Alice and Harriet a few years later in Sydney.

In 1992 we moved to Sydney to be closer to Family and started a practice in Mosman which we ran successfully for a number of years and then opened another in Forestville which was walking distance to our home.
As time went on and our three daughters grew up we realised living near the city was not for us... Alice and Harriet were both keen horse riders and the idea of sitting in traffic to travel anywhere was not appealing.We practiced healthy living and were keen to carry this out completely growing our own veggies etc.

Geoff had always tried to encourage me to see the light and move north to Queensland (where his family were) but I always resisted as it seemed too ”relaxed" compared to Sydney and Melbourne.....We went to my nieces wedding in 2003 and stayed at Southbank and that was what made me change my mind. Brisbane was catching up with everything but not the number of people . We put our house on the market and had moved to ten acres at Mount Samson by the end of the year!!

As most people know my special interest is my love of animals and so while in Sydney I started my post graduate studies in Animal Chiropractic at RMIT in Melbourne which I completed 2 years later.

This I only do part time as I still really enjoy treating everyone of the human variety too from babies to the elderly . Not a day goes by without seeing a positive change in someone which can have such a big impact on their life....this has kept me as enthusiastic about the benefits of Chiropractic as I was when I first graduated.
I have continued to work since I graduated in 1985 and have managed to combine this with plenty of time with our family.

Our practice is family based in every way. Most people knew our practice was a husband and wife team for many years (with our daughters all working behind the desk part time). Sadly Geoff has had to retire due to ill health but Alice (our middle daughter) qualified as a chiropractor at the perfect time to take over his practice.

B.Sc. (Chiro) & M.Clin.Chiro.

I started working at Samford Chiropractic Centre as a chiropractor at the start of 2020 (although many would have seen me behind the reception desk for the past 10+ years!). As the daughter of Geoff and Minty Jackson, I have grown up with regular, gentle chiropractic care and have experienced the benefits of this treatment throughout my life. 

When the Master of Chiropractic course opened in Brisbane 5-6 years ago, I stopped my nutrition and dietetics course (which is an area I still have an interest in) to complete my chiropractic degree. The course is 5 years (finishing with both a Bachelor of Science (Chiro) and Master of Clinical Chiropractic) and over this time I have still been a familiar face at Samford Chiropractic behind the front desk, but I have been counting down to be able to join the family practice. 

Growing up riding horses, I have a special interest in treating fellow riders and looking at the biomechanics of riding in all disciplines and how this can effect us in day to day life. I will also be completing my post graduate degree in animal chiropractic in the coming years to go on to pursue my interest in treating horses, as well as their humans.

I look forward to meeting more of the community in the future and am passionate about your health and wellbeing.
