Dr Lisa Rimmelzwaan
"My goal is to inspire each one of my clients towards a greater quality of life and well-being. I’d love to have the opportunity to meet you in person and assess how I can help you, no matter what your age or concern.”
About Lisa
Dr. Lisa holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University, and is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board.
With a passion for Functional Neurology, Lisa's three-year postgraduate studies have equipped her with a unique perspective in assessing the nervous system.
Unlike traditional chiropractors, she employs a diverse array of techniques, including diversified manual adjustments, Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), drop piece table, activator instrument, functional neurology exercises, and personalized lifestyle advice.
Lisa's approach centers on addressing the root cause of pain and neurological dysfunction, crafting individualised care plans, and empowering patients to actively engage in their health journey.
Dr. Lisa is dedicated to providing holistic, patient-centered chiropractic care that prioritises long-term wellness and vitality.
Dr Laura Elliott
– Dr L. Chaitow“The treatments themselves do not ‘cure’ the condition, they simply restore function and the body’s self-healing ability.”
About Laura
Laura has a love for health and the human body with a Masters in Chiropractic, Honors in Health science, Bachelor of Biomedical Science and she is also an experienced Yoga and Meditation teacher.
Laura believes movement is the best form of medicine, and it was during her time as a personal trainer that she developed a love for human biomechanics and movement. Harnessing her passion for movement, Laura moved into Chiropractic – working as a facilitator to the body, working with the neuromusculoskeletal system, restoring function and enabling bodies to heal as nature intended. It was here during her studies that Laura discovered the benefits of yoga for the mind and recovery of the body, and undertook training to become a yoga teacher.
This work opened her to see that the world of healing is much more than just physical. Through the teachings of yoga and chiropractic it became clear that healing comes from within, and requires balance of mind and body. Laura truly believes in, and embodies preventative health.
Laura loves working with every day athletes to keep them functioning at their peak and doing the things they love. Equally she has a love for working with pregnant women and women working toward pregnancy.
From athletes to yogis, mums and dads to office workers, Laura has a unique approach to cater to all walks of life. Laura is a multimodal practitioner, using manual chiropractic adjustments with myofascial and neuro-emotional release techniques.

Giada Fosati
– Ann Wigmore“Your health is what you make of it. Everything you do and think either adds to the vitality, energy and spirit you possess or takes away from it.”
About Giada
Giada Fosati has had an inclination for natural therapies since a young age and began her massage journey with hand and foot reflexology in her hometown Milan. She believes in the self-healing power of the body, and found reflexology was a great way to stimulate mind and body balance along with relaxation. Further studies took her down the path of remedial massage, which she now loves combining with cupping.
Outside of Kula, Giada is very passionate about training martial arts and loves getting out in nature to cycle or run. And like most of us here at Kula she also enjoys doing yoga, stretching and meditation.
Her passion for movement has led her to have interests in sports massage, treating people with sporting injuries to help them get back to doing what they love to do! Giada also enjoys the nurturing side of massage, helping clients relax their mind and body, improve their mood and help them lead happier lives.
