Our Team
Living Well Chiropractors
For years our chiropractors at Living Well Chiropractic Coffs Harbour have been not only helping people find relief from pain and tension, but have worked to increase people's movement and function so that they can get back to doing the things they enjoy most. Our two chiropractors have a total of over 35 years combined experience, and when you add to that the 5 years of university training that they each completed, you can rest assured that, when you see a practitioner at Living Well Chiropractic, you are in safe hands.
Our chiropractors are qualified to administer a variety of techniques, including some that are very low force, which means that they have the ability to treat a whole range of people from our community. Our chiropractors pride themselves on being "full-body" practitioners which means they do not limit themselves only to the joints and tissues of the spine. They are well versed in peripheral techniques, which means they can also help you with misbehaving shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles or wrists.

Judith McNeill is one of those lucky people who can truly say that she loves what she does. She was first exposed to chiropractic as a ten-year old and, amazed by her first treatment, she knew right away that she wanted to be a chiropractor. She went straight from school into her 5-year university course and has been working in the industry since 2004.
Her first couple of years as a chiropractor were spent working in the Hunter Valley, before she moved north to Coffs Harbour. She has greatly enjoyed looking after the health of Coffs Coast residents since 2006, and has also squeezed in the birth of her four children. Her own experiences of pregnancy and motherhood have only enhanced her special interest in helping women with their spinal health during their childbearing years. Outside of practice, she appreciates the weather of the Coffs Coast and the active lifestyle that it encourages. She enjoys keeping fit, including playing touch football (in the Living Well Chiropractic Women's team), and spending time with her husband and kids.

I’m Bruce Ritchie, one of the partners here at our two-chiropractor practice in Coffs Harbour. My chiropractic journey began in 1997, and since then I’ve been in continual private practice for nearly four decades, working across two continents.
Originally from South Africa, I moved to Coffs Harbour in 2016 with my wife Jann and our son Robert. We’ve since embraced life in Australia and are proud to call it home.
I enjoy helping people of all ages – from the very young to the young at heart – return to doing the things they love. Whether it’s getting back on a bike or simply improving day-to-day movement, my focus is always on keeping people functioning at their best. Every patient is unique, and I believe in providing truly bespoke treatment to suit individual needs.
The most rewarding part of my work is hearing patients say they’re feeling better and getting on with their lives. I look forward to welcoming you to our practice and seeing how I can help
