“Reach your full potential with Chiropractic Care”
Dr. Yolanda Jennings
Dr Yolanda Jennings is passionate about Gonstead Chiropractic and loves working in her clinic in Traralgon helping patients.
How did she develop this love for chiropractic? She says, ’For as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for helping people. As a 16 year old I had a terrible fall that caused a significant lower back and neck injury. My parents took me to see a chiropractor and from that first appointment I knew this is what I wanted to do when I finished school. I become obsessed with studying and understanding the intricate relationship between the spine, the nervous system and the effect these have on the way the body functions. With an uninterrupted nervous system the body is able to function optimally. Something I always strive for – optimal function – enabling me to reach my maximal potential!’
A well respected and ethical member of the profession, Dr Yolanda has built a referral based practice, centred on patient outcomes.
Dr Yolanda is focused on delivering the highest quality of chiropractic care to her patients. She believes this is achieved by devoting her practice to the Gonstead Method of Chiropractic, which provides a thorough diagnostic process, the most specific adjustment done by hand, resulting in a more permanent outcome for the patient. Additionally she is certified in Gonstead Extremity adjusting and is currently studying to sit her Gonstead Diplomate exam this year.
In 2005, Dr Yolanda Jennings graduated from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) with a double degree in Applied Science (Clinical) and Chiropractic Science. She started Well Balanced Chiropractic in 2011 in Malvern East and then opened the second clinic in Traralgon in 2012. It was not long before the Traralgon clinic became her main focus.
Dr Yolanda is the National President of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society of Australia and has been a valued board member since 2010.
Dr Yolanda has a keen interest in keeping healthy with correct nutrition, exercise and mindset. Yolanda spends hours studying the healthiest way to eat, move and think. She loves spending time with Scott, Chloe and their fur-babies Chilli and Basil.

Dr. Synn Khoo
Dr Synn graduated from RMIT University, Melbourne with a double bachelor degree in Health Science and Applied Science (Chiropractic). Born and raised in Malaysia, she is capable of fluent English, Mandarin and Malay. She is passionate about helping patients achieve their optimal health so that they can in turn focus on what’s important to them.
Dr Synn learnt about chiropractic when she was 16 through one of her closest friends in school – a dancer who has trained so hard over the years that she suffered from debilitating back pain at such a young age. Through Chiropractic, not only did her back pain improve, but she was also able to get back on stage to perform again! Seeing how positively Chiropractic could change someone’s quality of life, Dr Synn decided to pursue Chiropractic as her career, to use the most natural form of therapy to help patients get out of pain and back into doing what they love. Coming from a background where the importance of health was often overlooked, she has also set out with the aim to educate as many people as she can about the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system and thus helping them achieve exactly that!
Dr Synn also utilises the Gonstead System of Chiropractic, which allows chiropractors to thoroughly evaluate the spine as a whole, accurately locate which spinal level the problems are at and thus safely correct them using specific spinal adjustments. She is also certified in Gonstead Extremities adjusting. Dr Synn is an active member of the Gonstead Chiropractic Society (GCS) of Australia, where she attends seminars regularly to stay up-to-date with the latest knowledge and continuously hone her adjustment techniques.
Dr Synn enjoys looking after patients from all walks of life and of different backgrounds. She also offers advice on lifestyle and work habits, in order to help patients manage and prevent recurrence of their conditions.
Dr Synn has worked in multiple successful practices in Melbourne including locations in Richmond, Reservoir and Ivanhoe before moving down here to Traralgon to join our team. Outside of work, she loves trying out new recipes, exploring Gippsland and what this beautiful region has to offer – from hiking trails and sandy beaches to the lush vineyards, picturesque rivers, lakes and of course, the snowfields.

Other members of our team…
Bridgette
Chiropractic Assistant / Virtual Assistant / Future Chiropractor
Bridgette began working at Well Balanced Chiropractic in 2017. She landed a job as a Chiropractic Assistant after being a patient at the clinic since the age of 14. At the time she had just finished high school and was studying teaching. It wasn’t until working at the clinic she quickly figured out her love for not only the chiropractic profession but specifically Gonstead chiropractic. This is what changed her mind to begin studying Chiropractic at RMIT in 2019.
She is currently in her third year of University and can still be seen around the clinic. She has now taken up another role of Virtual Assistant which can be done around her university timetable where she is doing many roles behind the scenes for both the clinic and Yolanda. Bridgette is continually bettering herself along with both her University studies and learning the Gonstead technique, which she has already attended multiple seminars for.
In her spare time Bridgette can be found hanging out with her family and friends. She also enjoys camping and adventuring, as well as getting out and exploring with her dog Nelly. Bridgette looks forward to the future, working alongside Yolanda and Synn helping patients to reach their optimal health.
Zoe
Chiropractic Assistant
One of the many reasons why I love my role at Well Balanced Chiropractic is that I am able to welcome new patients into the clinic and be a part of their journey to a healthier version of them self. Whilst I plan to study primary education in the coming years, this job assists me in satisfying my desire to care for others and be a part of a positive work environment. In my down time I enjoy going for walks with friends, interior design, playing netball, and hanging with my family, including my Cavoodle, Bonnie.
Amy

I live in Traralgon with my husband, our little girl and our 2 dogs. When I’m not in the clinic I love spending time with my friends and family. Before joining the Well Balanced family as a Chiropractic Assistant I was and still am a patient of the clinic.
I have experienced first-hand the amazing work and all of the wonderful benefits of Gonstead Chiropractic on not only myself, but my husband, our daughter and many friends and families. I love being a part of this passionate and hardworking team, learning new skills and helping patients reach optimal health and wellness.
