Meet Your Pukekohe Chiropractic Family
Experts in Neurostructual care, designed for the whole family
Dr. James Marks, Chiropractor
With a background in HR/ recruitment and, as a yoga teacher (certified in India), I have always wanted to find a way to support people to live well. Finally, Chiropractic found me, and the rest is history.
My first exposure to Chiropractic was at a stable, where I saw a distressed horse evolve from trying to bite and kick a Chiropractor to being relaxed, docile and trying to lick him after an adjustment. That one life altering moment piqued my interest in all things Chiropractic, and I searched out a Chiropractor in York, England for my first adjustment. My personal experience was so profound, that it led this Franklin local to cut his travels short and return home to delve into 5 years of study at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
My passion is simple, I enjoy helping people do their thing better, easier and more. To me, that is what Chiropractic is all about. Invigorating people, one adjustment at a time.
When I’m not adjusting, you can find me playing a round of golf, exploring the Waitakere’s, or enjoying a BBQ on a sunny afternoon.
My mission in Pukekohe is to support our community to thrive, as a friendly, health focused community, doing what we do best.
Jodie Blackbourn, Chiropractor
I have always been a keen sportsperson, and passionate about health and working with people. Chiropractic ticked all the boxes for me. I work predominantly in our Pukekohe clinic, but am also a Clinical Supervisor at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in Mt Wellington, mentoring our future chiropractors. It is a great pleasure working with the students and their patients, and helping them develop their skills.
Our 2 boys have had chiropractic care from birth. They really enjoy their chiropractic care, and know that their bodies work so much better when they are checked regularly. As young adults, they have elected to continue to have regular chiropractic care.
After 30 years in practice, I am still excited about chiropractic, and the patients and team i work with. It’s an honour to be part of the chiropractic family.
Dr. Annaliese Raemaki, Chiropractor
I am one of the chiropractors here at Puka Kauai Chiropractic. I was a competitive swimmer from the age of eight for about eight years.
I started under chiropractic care myself at the age of eleven, just due to ongoing issues with my spine as well as my shoulders due to lots of training. So moving through and seeing the benefits through chiropractic care for myself, I really was interested in being able to provide that kind of healthcare for everyone else around me as well. I think that chiropractic care is something that absolutely everyone can benefit from. Being in the health space, I’ve always had a big predisposition to looking after athletes because they’re the ones that are trying to look after themselves at the highest level.
