I’m Sara Winchester and I established Total Chiropractic 
eight years ago in the lower North Shore of Sydney. I was born in Gosford and lived in numerous countries when I was young, before returning to Australia when I was nine. I went to high school in Canberra and did my undergraduate degree in Human Movement Science at the University of Wollongong. I travelled around the world for one year and completed my Masters of Chiropractic degree at Macquarie University in 2000. I have a 8-year-old son who is an absolute joy. I love to exercise, do yoga, travel, communicate and inspire others.
I was originally led to chiropractic because of my admiration of the human body. I spent much of high school training as a gymnast, seeing and feeling the physical capabilities of the body first-hand. When I was 15, I did work experience at my cousin’s chiropractic clinic in South Australia. This totally inspired me to pursue the same career path. It was the amazing speed of progression and healing that I witnessed during this time that really made me want to be part of the chiropractic profession.
I later learnt that my grandmother – now 99, and 
still getting regularly adjusted – first saw a chiropractor before registration was enforced. And when mother had a serious car accident in her early 20s, leaving her mute, it was my grandmother’s chiropractor who came to the rescue. The medical professionals had concluded my mother’s condition was psychological. But my grandmother’s chiropractor thought otherwise. The results seemed miraculous. My Mum got her voice back, her career as a nurse back, and her life back. This is not an uncommon story in the chiropractic profession.
I have chosen to devote my life to assisting people with their health through chiropractic and health education. My personal mission is to adjust, educate and inspire as many people in the world as possible. I firmly believe that health is improved when people take responsibility for their health and their quality of life. From this, performance is enhanced and the world reaps the benefits from extraordinary results from healthy and motivated people. Of course, there are those who don’t have access to the care I believe in. So, in September 2010, I initiated and led a project to Tanzania, working with orphans. I have exciting plans to build on that charity work in the coming years.
I believe wholeheartedly in the chiropractic philosophy, which, in a nutshell, enables the body to express its innate intelligence and heal itself. The human body is a remarkable organism. I feel privileged to work with it, and it surprises and inspires me everyday.
