With more than 15 years behind the spine, Dr Suzanne Kippen of Move It Chiropractic has become a cornerstone of Mackay’s wellness scene — known not just for her skilled hands, but for her heart-led approach to family care. Her passion for paediatrics and pregnancy support has helped countless locals move through life with strength, balance and connection.

“Chiropractic isn’t just about pain relief,” she explains.

“It’s about restoring function, enhancing quality of life, and empowering families through education and connection.

“We support the whole person, the whole family,” Dr Kippen says.

Beyond the clinic, Dr Kippen is passionate about nature and wellness.

“When I’m not adjusting spines, you’ll find me hiking, barefoot on the beach, or at the farm with our cattle,” she shares.

“I’m always exploring wellness, from cold plunges to breathwork.”

What’s a common health myth?

“That pain is 'just part of getting older.' Ageing is natural, but suffering isn’t. With the right support—movement, alignment, nutrition—you can thrive at any age. Remember, 'the power that made the body heals the body.'”

One health habit for better living?

“Get adjusted and get outside. Daily movement in the sunshine, even a walk around the block, honours our need for movement, connection, and nature. It sets everything else into place.”
