Welcome to The Wellness Centre website!

We hope this site has all the information you need to help with your quest for optimal health. If any of the team can be of assistance, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to email, phone us or pop in to see us and our friendly resident Water Dragon, Larry!

The Wellness Centre concept was established by Dr Mike and Di Dunn in 1982 with the opening of the Donvale Chiropractic Centre in Melbourne. Mike and Di realised the value of the "team" approach and the convenience of having all the practitioners working under the same roof. This enabled them to collectively support each client in whatever manner needed.

Please look at our testimonials page for more information on how we have contributed to improving the health of thousands of Australians over the last 25 years.

Mike and Di have gone on to establish similar centres in Hawthorne, Erina, Gorokon, Cessnock, Muswellbrook, Rutherford and our latest venture in New Lambton, opened in 2001. New Lambton is the only "Wellness Centre" Mike and Di are presently affiliated with. All of the Centres are still operating, but all are under new ownership.

We had many team meetings and the name "The Wellness Centre" was unanimously decided upon along with our logo which is an elongated blue infinity symbol. This represents the journey of wellness throughout our lives in the fact that we are always looking for ways to improve ourselves. In our changing World we need to be learning new ways of living and improving ourselves to adapt to the new challenges and take responsibility for our health - mentally, physically and spiritually.

“We are a highly motivated team of professionals, dedicated to supporting the community and ourselves in the quest for optimal quality of life.”

The Wellness Centre has a family chiropractor, remedial massage therapist, lymphatic drainage therapist, herbalist, and a counsellor. Combine this with our regular meditation classes and spiritual teaching classes and you have a wonderful holistic blend to choose from!

The philosophy of ‘The Wellness Centre’ is to support people in their health goals. Each person may have a different health goal, some come to us with pain or other problems but more and more we are seeing people looking for optimal health and so therefore are usually symptom free when they arrive.

As humans we are holistic and encompass mind, body and spirit. What ever happens to one part of us always affects the whole in some capacity. Because of this, we have practitioners who can help in all areas and therefore truly support the journey to optimal wellness. Because our lives are usually very busy and fairly stressful we offer various classes to also help teach us to live a more balanced lifestyle.

We have patients come see us in all age groups and the Centre is very easily accessible and child friendly with lots of toys and books.
