Lunar Health was founded by Dr Laura. Laura is the founder of LUNAR. Having grown up with regular chiropractic care, and a keen interest in science + understanding people, few were surprised when at the age of 12 she announced she was going to be a chiropractor. After graduating from the world renowned New Zealand College of Chiropractic, she moved back home to Australia where she has since practiced in both city and country practices, caring for all types of humans big and small.
