Kowhai Chiro is a chiropractor in Wellington. We are a family-centric chiropractic studio providing gentle bespoke care with a special focus on pregnancy and paediatrics in our Khandallah studio.
I can’t recommend Dr Lou highly enough! I first saw Lou during my third trimester and she knew how to soften my body and prep for birth. Her prep work ended up being an integral part of my birth prep team.
I’ve seen her again postpartum for my baby and myself and always feel super leaving her.
Baby had some tension in his shoulder which resulted in a latch that was quite painful at times and easing that tension also helped his latch.
Thank you!! 💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟

I cannot recommend Lou at Kōwhai Chiro highly enough. During my pregnancy, her knowledge and expertise in caring for women who want a natural birth was extraordinary. She knew exactly where my body needed the most support, and I always left feeling amazing. Thanks to her keen attention and care, I truly believe I wouldn’t have been able to achieve a natural birth without her guidance.
Lou’s expertise in pregnancy and postpartum care also extends well beyond adjustments. She supported my body with dry needling for tight fascia, as well as techniques like Spinning Babies and the Miles Circuit to help prepare both my body and baby for birth. She also referred me for a pregnancy massage with Lauryn Massage, noticing I needed extra support. This was invaluable, especially when I was very pregnant and dealing with baby brain—I just needed to be told what to do.
After birth, Lou continued to care for both me and my newborn. What I’ve learned from Lou has been invaluable. She has also adjusted my toddler multiple times. Despite toddlers being tricky to keep still, Lou has a beautiful way of connecting with her, and after every session my daughter says, “Mum, my body feels good.” I think that’s the biggest compliment you could ever get from a toddler.
Lou is compassionate, highly skilled, and makes every person feel genuinely cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone—not just those who are pregnant or postpartum. My husband also sees Lou and raves about how she gets him back out on the tools, enabling him to keep up with a physically demanding job while still enjoying running, hunting, and diving.
She truly is an incredible chiropractor.

I first saw Lou at Kowhai Chiropractic during my pregnancy, and now continue to see her post-pregnancy—she’s been incredible throughout the whole journey. Lou is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to listen and tailor each session to exactly what your body needs. I always leave feeling lighter, more aligned, and completely looked after. Her support has made such a difference for me both physically and mentally. Lou is hands down one of the best in the business, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Absolutely loved working with Lou! She was so supportive and empathetic during a really overwhelming time for us. She helped ease my baby’s body tension before and after her tongue tie release and made such a difference to her comfort. The best part—Lou does home visits, which was a total lifesaver in those early weeks. Highly recommend!

Just 1 word, “professional”. My reflux baby got so much better after seeing Dr Lou. She is very gentle, listening, guiding us to the right direction to solve the root of our baby’s reflux. Always on time ☺️ It is so good when she offers home visit for baby under 1. Highly recommend. If you have a colicky, reflux-y, gassy baby, don’t hesitate, go to see Dr Lou, you won’t regret 💜
