Meet The Team at Breathe
Dr. Brett Crawford
Chiropractor
Hi there, I’m Dr Brett!
Chiropractic has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Michigan, I received regular chiropractic care from a number of wonderful chiropractors, and from an early age I came to appreciate it as an important part of looking after my health and wellbeing.
During my teenage years, I became even more aware of the role chiropractic played in helping me feel and function at my best, particularly through sport, study and the everyday demands of life. Seeing the positive impact it had on both me and my family inspired me to pursue chiropractic as a career.
I completed my Bachelor of Science before going on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2010. Since then, I have had the privilege of caring for people across all stages of life.
Today, I am proud to own and continue growing Breathe Chiropractic alongside a wonderful team. My passion lies in helping families and children feel supported, understood and confident in their health. I particularly love creating a welcoming environment where people feel at ease, where parents feel heard, and where children can feel safe and comfortable.
For me, chiropractic is about far more than managing discomfort. It is about supporting the relationship between the brain, nervous system and body, helping people better understand their health, and empowering them to take an active role in their wellbeing.
It is incredibly rewarding to see the difference thoughtful, personalised care can make in someone’s life, and I feel very fortunate to do this work every day.
Dr. Kate Mainwaring
Chiropractor
Hi there, I’m Dr Kate
I’m new to the Breathe Chiropractic team, but not to Tassie. I have lived the majority of my life in Tassie and practiced chiropractic before on the NW coast. I have spent time in Melbourne studying chiropractic at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and South Australia where I have spent the last year practicing chiropractic. I’ve made the move back to be closer to my family and pursue my chiropractic career in Launceston.
My chiropractic journey started in my early twenties when I was struggling to recover from some sports injuries. My experience inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic and become a facilitator of health, growth and change for others. I am committed to taking care of families, helping all members of the family have healthy nervous systems so they can live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
As well as a chiropractor I am a dedicated plant mum, fun aunt and pickleball enthusiast.
