Why Sunstone?

“Sunstone” Chiropractic draws its name from the concept of the sunstone gem, which historically was believed to possess healing properties towards the spine and nervous system in various cultures. The association between chiropractic and the sunstone implies a focus on healing and wellness, aligning with the practice’s objectives.

Moreover, the reference to the spine could be connected to the idea of the sunstone being a source of energy, akin to how chiropractic adjustments aim to correct spinal subluxations to improve the flow of energy/regulation throughout the body and restore brain-body connection.

In essence, the name “Sunstone” Chiropractic conveys the clinic’s dedication to holistic healing and the restoration of health, drawing upon the symbolism associated with the sunstone gem to emphasize their commitment to wellness and vitality.

Meet Dr. Hazel Lohi

The Chiropractic Path

With a desire to pursue a career in healthcare, Dr. Hazel explored options such as becoming a Medical Doctor or Dentist before discovering Chiropractic. "I didn't envision myself in conventional medicine, prescribing medications or advocating for surgery." Despite seeking chiropractic care for neck and back pain during high school, it wasn't until later, while studying at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, that she delved into the philosophy of chiropractic.

Immersed in the principles of natural healing, Dr. Hazel immediately resonated with chiropractic and determined to pursue it as her profession.

"It's remarkable how you can positively change someone's life using nothing more than your hands."- Dr. Hazel Lohi

Discovering How to Help Others

Dr. Hazel embarked on her journey of discovery to help others by enrolling in the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. There, she immersed herself in the principles of wellness and holistic healthcare, uncovering the profound impact chiropractic can have on people's lives. It was during her tenure at chiropractic college that Dr. Hazel was introduced to the Upper Cervical Technique, a method focusing on the crucial atlas bone at the base of the skull. Due to its connection to the brain stem, it can be thought of like the circuit breaker that can turn the power of the body on. Recognizing its significance, she embraced this technique alongside other chiropractic modalities. Today, Dr. Hazel applies her expertise, utilizing a blend of techniques including Diversified, Drop, Activator, and Upper Cervical, to enhance the well-being of her practice members. Committed to excellence, she is an esteemed member of the New Zealand Chiropractic Association.

Enjoying Life in Auckland

Living in Auckland has been an enriching experience for me, filled with vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and a strong sense of community. However, amidst the beauty of this city, I've witnessed the healthcare disparities, particularly in South Auckland. It's this stark contrast that fuels my desire to give back and provide care to the population here. I believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and by establishing my practice in South Auckland, I hope to contribute positively to the well-being of this diverse and dynamic community.
