Our practitioners
DR STEPH COOTE (Chiropractor, Owner)
Dr Steph is a passionate integrative Chiropractor with a love of looking after families, from the very youngest to the elderly.
Chiropractic runs in the family and is deeply ingrained in her life. After years of practicing with her brother in Perth, she headed North and fell in love with Karratha and the beautiful community.
Dr Steph has built up a unique skillset through years of advanced learning in Bowen Therapy, which she integrates into her approach of balancing the body and enhancing the health of the nervous system. Her passion for Chiropractic has taken her to New Zealand to complete her certification in Animal Chiropractic so she can help your four legged friends too!
She is continually inspired by the effects Chiropractic can have on the lives of many. Steph has most recently finisher her advanced diplomate in Paediatric Chiropractic due to her love of looking after kids.

With a strong interest in pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic, Dr Nat combines gentle, neurologically focused techniques with a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal and adapt. Her goal is to help every person she works with feel safe, seen, and supported — whether they’re navigating pain, preparing for birth, or just wanting to feel more connected in their body.
When she’s not in the practice, you’ll likely find her soaking up the sunshine, adventuring outdoors, cooking nourishing meals, or enjoying slow moments with loved ones.
