Our Story

Drs. Leo and Sydney met while practicing chiropractic in the Netherlands, where they discovered not only a shared love for each other but also a deep calling to serve growing families. At the end of 2025, they made the exciting decision to plant roots in the Bay of Plenty, close to Dr. Leo's hometown, with a vision of building a practice dedicated to supporting local families through every stage of life.

Chiropractic has always been close to home for Dr.Sydney. Growing up in Massachusetts, USA, she watched her father serve his community as a chiropractor and witnessed firsthand how chiropractic care could transform the lives of entire families. For Dr. Leo, chiropractic has been part of his life since late childhood. Receiving regular chiropractic care helped him manage asthma while supporting him through years of competitive sport. Beyond his own health, he experienced the positive impact chiropractic had on his family.

Together, we believe every family deserves the opportunity to experience that same transformation. Opening Grow Chiropractic isn't simply a career choice—it's work we genuinely feel called to do. Our mission is to empower families throughout the Bay of Plenty with neurologically focused chiropractic care that supports healthy pregnancies, thriving children, and parents who can show up as their best selves.

Both Dr. Sydney and Dr. Leo are Webster Technique Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), allowing them to provide specialized chiropractic care for pregnant women. They also complete ongoing advanced training through The Pediatric Experience (PX), ensuring they remain at the forefront of neurologically focused pediatric and perinatal chiropractic care.

We're honored to walk alongside families from pregnancy through childhood and beyond, helping each member of your family grow, adapt, and thrive.
