Dr Carrie Rigoni Chiropractor

Trusting your intuition and leading you towards holistic health

You know your children like nobody else. When your intuition tells you something is not quite right, you listen to it. But how do you find the answers? 

Googling only gets you so far. It’s better to see someone who has waded through the research and has come out the other side. A health practitioner who has dedicated their life to finding answers.

Have you gone down the traditional medicine route and still have questions? I can help. Through chiropractic, applied kinesiology and vagus nerve education, I explore your family’s health alongside you. 

Building trusting relationships with my clients is important to me. I trust your intuition and honour it. My goal is to set you and your family on a path to wellness through compassionate care.

Meet Dr Carrie

Hi, I’m Carrie! I’m a chiropractor, applied kinesiologist and vagus nerve educator with a special interest in treating the vagus nerve in children. I’ve been practising chiropractic for over 10 years, and am Perth’s only integrative neuroimmunology trained practitioner. 

I was raised in Perth but moved to Melbourne to do my postgraduate training in paediatrics (birth to school-age children), and then worked in a paediatric-only clinic. 

Every year, I threatened it would be my last Melbourne winter. And in 2019, I finally cracked! Trust me, Victorians are not lying about the weather!

It was my own health crisis that revealed the healing power of applied kinesiology, brain rehabilitation and nutrition. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome at 23 and spent most of my 20s trying to find something to help.

Integrative Neuroimmunology was what helped me heal. So I got a fire in my belly to support others through their health journey and share everything I had learnt. I now create online resources to make holistic health easy to understand and implement. 
Why am I drawn to mothers, children and babies? Children’s brains develop more between the ages of 0-5 than at any other time in their life, and these early years set the tone for years to come. So it makes sense to invest in wellness early. I’m also a mother myself (Quinn, 6, and Remy, 4) and know how hard motherhood can be!

When I’m not meeting beautiful families in my one-on-one-consults, I’m playing with my kids at the beach, getting down at family dance parties, and watching my kids spread crumbs through my house (fun for me!)​

Think we’re a good fit? It’s never too late to improve your health. Let’s start your wellness journey together.
