Dr Rachael Dunn - Chiropractor & Co-Founder of The Vibrant Life Centre

I absolutely love being a chiropractor. I feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered chiropractic early in life, inspired by my parents who instilled in me the values of healthy eating, regular movement, and the belief that vibrant health is a lifelong pursuit. These same values now guide me as a mum to our two beautiful children, Amber and Finley.
The chiropractic way is a philosophy to live your life by grounded in the understanding that the body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism—and that the spine plays a vital role in this process. It protects the brain and spinal cord, the central communication pathway for every system in the body. When that communication is interfered with, our ability to heal, function, and thrive is compromised.
It’s such a privilege to help babies, children, and adults become free from symptoms and experience a greater level of vitality and wellbeing through gentle, specific adjustments to the nervous system.
While many people initially come to us seeking relief from pain or discomfort, the real magic happens when they stay to work on building long-term health. That’s why I’m so passionate about the V8 Course of Care—our signature framework at The Vibrant Life Centre.
The V8 approach is designed not only to help people recover from symptoms but to support the body’s innate intelligence to thrive, by combining:
-
Hands-on care using the NeuroImpulse Protocol (NIP) and massage
-
Targeted brain-based therapies such as BrainTap
-
Transformational nutrition to fuel healing and long-term wellness
​
By following a clear and bespoke plan based on each person’s history, lifestyle, and goals, we’re able to create a structure that supports recovery, maintains health in the present, and builds resilience for the future. I truly believe that this structured, layered approach offers people their best chance of living a vibrant, energised life—not just now, but for years to come.
One of my greatest inspirations has been chiropractor Dr Neil Davies, creator of the NeuroImpulse Protocol. His mentorship has shaped so much of what I do, and I’m honoured to now teach NIP to fellow chiropractors, osteopaths, sports scientists, physical therapists, and students internationally.
Together with my husband Steve, we proudly lead a dedicated team of chiropractors, NIP practitioners, shorts scientists, massage therapists, and Vibrant centre assistants at The Vibrant Life Centre in Braunton, North Devon. Our mission is to reach as many families as possible with proactive, life-changing care.
In the words of BJ Palmer the developer of Chiropractic “You never know how far reaching something you may think, say or do today will effect the lives of millions tomorrow. It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.”
We would love to welcome you and your family to our Centre—whether you're looking for relief, recovery, or a roadmap to lasting health and vitality.
