Dr. Dean Potter
Chiropractor
Through injury playing professional cricket in England, I was influenced by the philosophy of chiropractic care and its preventive nature… it just made sense.
I studied for five years at the NZ College of Chiropractic in conjunction with a science degree at Auckland University. I first worked for Mudgway Chiropractic as a locum in Whangarei and fell in love with Northland.
When Dr Clive Mudgway retired in 2000, we took the opportunity to start our own practice and stay in Whangarei and have continued running a successful practice here ever since.
Dr. Emma Rampton
Chiropractor
I studied for five years at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in conjunction with a science degree from Auckland University, graduating in 2000. After practicing for four years I decided to further my education with post graduate study in chiropractic pediatrics and pregnancy, an area which I love and feel passionate about.
I graduated with my pediatric diploma in 2007, during which time I had my own three children, Will, Evie and Grace. I continue to have an exciting practice seeing pregnant women, babies, children and regular patients.
Dr. Ingrid Kaptein
Chiropractor
Ingrid Kaptein has relocated from Christchurch to join the team at Mudgway Chiropractic.
Chiropractic appealed to Ingrid from a young age, as she always wanted to help people naturally, and not sit behind a desk to do it.
She believes it has a vitalistic philosophy, meaning it gives her the chance to assist people regain and maintain health by working with their natural ability to do this. She loves the opportunity to interact with lots of different people from babies to elderly, athletes and most of the workforce. The highlight of her job is seeing people change, get well and live the life they want to.
Dr Rhiannon Fyfe
Chiropractor
Rhiannon is from the East coast of Whangarei. She spends most of her free time surfing, hiking, swimming, and relaxing with loved ones.
Chiropractic aligns with her upbringing and the values and morals her parents taught her four siblings, in that one of the main values being health is your wealth and the idea that health is your number one priority.
Another major milestone that played part in her choosing chiropractic was my younger sisters health journey. At the age of 12 she underwent spinal surgery. Her recovery took over a year and as a young active individual this had a huge impact on her life. This sparked an interest in the function of the spine and lead her to understand the importance of the spine and all of the major roles it plays in health and wellness.
She is excited to be moving back to the place she calls home, and to help people from all walks of life on their unique health journeys.
