Initially I enjoyed NSA care at Well and Wild, having reduced tension, improved posture and positive changes in my internal state. Over a year into my treatment I expressed physical health concerns. Instead of encouraging me to see a doctor Chris and Lisa encouraged me to come for NSA more often. They also told me that all of my other health practices and lifestyle choices are not working for me, period, showing no interest in what I did, or what I changed recently. I objected to this undermining attitude and questioned its validity. Chris completely dismissed my feedback and declared that I am just being defensive in order to avoid feeling things. Fortunately I had enough self-respect to walk away but in the end I wished I hadn't trusted them. Chris and Lisa take their treatments into the territory of psychological therapy but they are not trained therapists and end up projecting their personal stories onto patients (aka countertransference). They act as if NSA is the ultimate solution to all physical, psychological and spiritual difficulties and the only path to wisdom. There is no attainable end goal in NSA treatment, you aren't taught to do it yourself, and it costs $5000 - $8000 per year. Take care.

We are glad to hear that you had such positive outcomes with us initially, and very sorry to hear that you also had that negative experience. We welcome all reviews about our business and we value all of our client’s experiences, however it is important that your comments about us remain truthful and factual. We did not encourage you to see a medical doctor because you advised us that you had already sought medical treatment for your health concerns and nothing medically was wrong. We then suggested that you come in for more regular chiropractic care and that your diet and lifestyle practices could also be potential factors to your health concerns. We did not mean to offend you with our recommendations, and we apologize if we did. The cost is between 50 and 60 dollars per visit, and we do not teach you how to do it yourself because you can’t adjust your own spine, it requires a practitioner. Also, we recommend ongoing chiropractic care for everyone throughout their lifetime to help them enjoy a greater level of health, wellness and quality of life.

I find Chris and Lisa to be genuinely skilled. They work together with a finesse and grace that is seamless, compassionate and highly effective. I am a massage specialist; trained HHP (Holistic Health Practitioner), tutor & Yoga instructor. I find the care and support I receive at Well & Wild to be hugely valuable to my health and well being. I have gained so much wellness and resilience through receiving the gifts Chris and Lisa are so passionate about sharing. My journey has been a tough one at times. I am finding more strength, compassion, courage, understanding, focus, peace and healing. I enjoy new learning now, every time I slip into their healing sanctuary. Whereas before I mostly found enough comfort and safety to get through another week. I am gratefully finding ease and grace in coming home to my body while I learn deeper levels of trust. Together we have worked towards my somehow embodying a lightness of being that was familiar to me as a child, before so much else happened. My relationships are deepening and I am able to let the right people in while holding others at bay. My parents and friends are an amazing part of my support network. Chris and Lisa have been the missing link. They help me bring it all together.

I started coming to see Lisa and Chris because I was suffering from crazy, random migraines that wiped me out for days at a time and for which painkillers just didn't seem to work. I was initially sceptical about anything I thought was slightly "alternative" but I am very happy I gave this a go! I really enjoy my visits - no matter what frame of mind I am in when I arrive, I feel better about myself and life in general when I leave. The sessions can be relaxing, uplifting, amusing, occaisionally painful (and often a combination of all these) but always leave you with a great feeling of being cared for. My headaches are much less debilitating these days and i am even starting to be able to predict when they might arrive. I would definitely recommend this treatment!

When I first started seeing Chris and Lisa, my main focus in life was sport (which isn’t a bad thing). So I originally went just to improve my rugby, which it has done. By being under care at Well & Wild it has helped me over come any injuries I have got and they have healed a great deal faster than any other form of treatment I have tried. I have now become a lot more aware with my body which has helped me to prevent injuries in a huge way and become injury free! Not only that, my flexibility has improved and I have alot more range of movement which has resulted in being able to have more speed and run faster. In saying this, I was also able to connect with myself in a deeper level where I was able to focus on other aspects on life not just sport, which opened my eyes to the world, but of course still loving my sport. I also over came personal issues such as anxiety and stress which helped me in everyday life and with my rugby as well. Well & Wild has changed my life in a huge way! Thank you Chris and Lisa!

They are the best - - Today I began seeing Lisa on and off with my two boys when they were only 3yrs & 11mths old - they are now 10yrs and 7yrs. We all thoroughly love going to see Chris and Lisa, not only for their spinal care but also for their emotional support and unconditional caring. Recently my husband - a total unbeliever- joined us after a back injury - he is now asking for extra appointments!!! Chris and Lisa's care has changed our lives in the most incredibly positive way and I know that my children are obtaining lifelong skills. I recommend them to everyone I know!!!

Since I have been going to Chris and LIsa I have gone from beihg a tired 60 to feeling alive ,joyful and young. The word that comes to mind is 'Magic", and it feels as if a lifetime of insecurities have been gently transformed and I feel truly alive and connected to life. Pure Magic.
