Dr Naomi Fleming
Chiropractor
Naomi, a lifelong Portland resident, has devoted herself to delivering chiropractic care to the local community since 1992.
She started her journey at Henty Chiropractic Centre, working alongside her mother, Helen McKenzie, who was also a chiropractor. Chiropractic seems to run in the family, as Naomi's daughter, Eloise, is now also practicing as a chiropractor on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Naomi's practice centres around muscle testing techniques, particularly applied kinesiology, enabling her to identify areas of weakness accurately. She combines manual adjusting, activator methods, blocks, and soft tissue therapy to provide comprehensive and effective treatment.
Brit Carter
Naturopath
Brit is a Bachelor-qualified Naturopath who recently returned to Portland after completing her studies in Melbourne.
Passionate about helping others feel their best, she works closely with each patient to uncover the root causes of their health concerns - believing that true health is more than just the absence of disease.
As a Family Naturopath, Brit supports people of all ages from little ones with eczema to adults navigating fatigue, metabolic issues, or the natural changes of ageing. Having experienced the frustration of suboptimal health without clear answers herself, Brit brings empathy and understanding to her care. She believes nature has provided everything we need to thrive and tailors her care to suit each individual.
A familiar face to many, Brit is thrilled to be back in the community she loves, helping others find the root causes of their health concerns and help them live vibrantly.
Samantha Telfer
Chiropractic Assistant
Born and raised in Portland, she feels lucky to call this community home. Growing up locally has given her a strong appreciation for connection, wellbeing, and supporting the people around her. She completed a Bachelor of Exercise Science and went on to begin a Master’s in Exercise Physiology, driven by her interest in helping others move better and feel stronger in their everyday lives.
At the moment, she’s taking a short break from her Master’s to reflect and ensure she’s heading down the career path that feels like the right long-term fit. She’s passionate about continuous learning and personal growth, and is excited about where her journey in the health and fitness space will lead.
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find her at the gym, out walking her energetic kelpie, or enjoying a good coffee and brunch with friends.
