Dr. Charlene Coelho - Chiropractor
B.Sc (Chiro), B.Chiro

Originally from Scotland, I’ve spent most of my life here in Perth. I’ve been a chiropractor for 14 years. I’ve worked in the Pilbara and Wheatbelt, providing chiropractic care to everyone from newborns, to the elderly, farmers, to miners. I’ve also worked in a city practice where my main focus was sports injuries and rehab. Wherever I’ve worked, and whatever the focus of practice, my greatest joy is always playing a role in empowering people to understand their body, and how it can reach it’s full potential.

I like to live outside of my comfort zone and never shy away from a challenge. In recent years, I’ve competed in CrossFit, bodybuilding and skydiving competitions and participated in the Rottnest swim. I love testing the bounds of my capability. This is why I love chiropractic so much - in treating injuries and helping people meet their health goals, a new capacity for experience is unlocked.

I live with my partner Paulo, our son Jude, and my beautiful step kids, Kai and Jaimi.

Dr. Carly Witt - Chiropractor
B.Sc (Chiro), B.Chiro

Growing up in country Victoria, I’ve always had a passion for an active and healthy lifestyle.

My interest in chiropractic sparked from having discussions with my cousin who is also a chiropractor, and after observing many chiropractors, I knew this was the profession I could make the biggest difference in peoples lives.  

Since becoming a mum and experiencing my own pregnancies and birth, I have seen the benefits first hand of being adjusted regularly. I have developed a strong passion to supporting mums and bubs through chiropractic care and empowering families in making the best health choices for their wellbeing. 

Our son, Oliver and daughter, Mia are growing up enjoying healthy food and love being outdoors and enjoying nature with their dog, Higgins.

*Currently on maternity leave

I had always dreamt I would be the first person to discover the cure for cancer and I began my tertiary studies completing a Biomedical Science Degree at UWA. During the last semester of my final year, whilst struggling through 12-hour lab sessions, I felt that surely there would be better ways to promote good health and from here discovered my real passion; to promote healthy lifestyles through education and preventative approaches.

During my 5 years at Murdoch University pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Chiropractic and Bachelor of Chiropractic, I discovered that chiropractic was a unique therapy that approached healthcare in a non-invasive, drug-free and non-surgical way. Chiropractors work with the musculoskeletal system to assist in the way it functions. Today, I love nothing more than to help clients discover chiropractic care.

Being able to help someone with their musculoskeletal health and see them accomplish things they never thought they would be able to do has been the greatest part of this journey. I am grateful that my profession has allowed me the opportunity to work with people of all ages and walks of life.  This variety in practice members allows us to make the most of our varied specific chiropractic techniques we use in our clinic.

In 2007, I travelled to Siliguri, India with a group of chiropractors to provide care to the local communities. Our aim was to set up field clinics to provide basic medical supplies and chiropractic care to the families in the surrounding villages. Upon my return, I felt that as a chiropractor, it was not only my duty but my goal to educate my own community about the importance of spinal health.

I have grown up and lived in Perth all my life and currently reside in Ardross with my husband William, sons Oliver and Levi and puppy – Ronny. I love Perth and truly value the active and healthy lifestyle that it has to offer. I am a passionate Dockers supporter and have always liked to keep fit. I've been playing netball for as long as I can remember, and participate in boxing classes and group personal training.

*NOT CURRENTLY PRACTICING AT BALDIVIS CHIROPRACTIC

 I have always been based in Perth and value the active lifestyle that WA people embrace. My passion for health and wellness led me into the profession of Chiropractic, which allows me play a role in supporting our practice members and the community to reach their individual musculoskeletal health outcomes.

I have a keen interest in women's, paediatric and family chiropractic care and opened Baldivis Chiropractic with Dr Cheong in 2011 to provide exceptional chiropractic services to our local community. While I don't currently see patients at Baldivis Chiropractic, you can find me managing things behind the scenes to keep the practice running smoothly. 

I live locally with my husband Evan, our boys Dylan and Elijah and our border collie x kelpie, Indi. I am a PASSIONATE Dockers supporter and love catching games at Optus. In my spare time I love to catch up with friends, family and get outdoors with the kids.
