Gina McCulloch trained for 4 years at Oxford Brookes university in England, to qualify as a chiropractor. She graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in 2001.
She completed a specialist Diploma in Animal Chiropractic in the UK and then travelled to the United States and Germany to further her animal chiropractic education.
Here she took Postgraduate and Advanced courses in Animal Chiropractic. She graduated and was one of the first British chiropractors to successfully pass the independent American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) board certification exams.
She then became a regular examiner for the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association board certification examinations in Europe until she and her family moved to Australia in 2006.
She has also undertaken extensive (1600+ hours) massage, muscle therapy & energy technique courses (including Acupressure, CranioSacral Therapy (CST), MyoFascial Release (MFR), Healing, Reiki, Stretching & Rehabilitation, Sports Massage (Basic & Advanced), Equine; Nervous System Function, Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, Gait Abnormalities and Applied Anatomy, Principles of; Saddle fitting, Farriery science, Dentistry, Nutrition, and Behaviour.) She is a qualified equine body worker (EBW)
Following her move from the UK which included flying her horse, cat and dog to Australia, Gina created and developed naturallycomplementary.com.
"People often ask me what types of alternative medicines are available for animals and whether they would work for their pet. They want to know which animal practitioners are the best and which are best avoided; which products work and where they can buy them. Many pet owners and professionals are keen to learn more and take courses but are not sure where they can train.
I realised there was nowhere people could easily find answers to all these questions. I developed naturallycomplementary.com so pet owners and professionals would be able to access all the information they could ever need in one convenient site, backed by independent consumer reviews enabling better informed decision making.” said Gina McCulloch.
Gina is currently loving living “down under” and writes a regular blog for the naturallycomplementary.com community as the Bush Dr. She shares her Aussie home with; 2 horses, 1 dog, 1 cat, numerous wild kangaroos, birds and snakes, a long suffering husband, and an animal loving son and daughter.
