Our Chiropractors in Kyneton

Dr. Bernie Haberman is a chiropractor passionate about helping people take charge of their health and achieve their greatest vitality. He enjoys working with individuals who are tired of the restrictions caused by symptoms such as back pain, headaches, or low energy, and who want to restore function and wellbeing.

Dr. Bernie began his healthcare journey as a Remedial Massage Therapist, working both in Australia and abroad. During this time, he had the opportunity to support elite athletes, including tennis player Alicia Molik, Olympic Gold Medallist Alisa Camplin, and over ten years with the Collingwood Football Club. Inspired by his personal experiences with chiropractic and by observing the results achieved by his wife, Dr. Vanessa, he returned to study chiropractic at age 35, graduating from RMIT in Melbourne in 2014.

Since 2020, Dr. Bernie has been a valued member of Chiropractic Life. He is co-owner of Revive Chiropractic, Melbourne, alongside Dr. Vanessa, a partnership that began in 2004. In practice, he draws on his extensive experience to provide evidence-informed, patient-centred care that focuses on long-term health and spinal function.

Dr. Bernie is also deeply committed to education and coaching. He has over 25 years of experience playing and coaching Australian Rules football, guiding young athletes not only to improve their game but also to grow as well-rounded individuals.

Outside the practice, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children on their property in the Macedon Ranges. He is an avid Harry Potter fan, a passionate Test cricket follower, a dedicated music lover (especially Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction), and an experienced traveller, having explored 32 countries.

Dr. Bernie’s philosophy is simple: “Give for the sake of giving, serve for the sake of serving, and love for the sake of loving.”

Dr. Vanessa Fullard is a chiropractor and passionate advocate for helping families live their healthiest, happiest lives. She has practised for nearly 25 years, working in both city and country practices in Australia and Ireland. For the past decade, she has focused on serving families and individuals in her local community, providing proactive and restorative chiropractic care for stress-related health issues, chronic postural concerns, and overall nervous system function.

Dr. Vanessa believes it is essential to address the constant physical and mental stresses that affect children and adults in today’s fast-paced, sedentary world. She is dedicated to providing care and resources that help practice members manage these stresses, improve wellbeing, and thrive. Her greatest joy is seeing families—both her own and those she serves—grow healthier, happier, and more inspired.

Originally from a dairy farm in North Victoria, Dr. Vanessa now lives with her husband, Dr. Bernie, their children Ruby and Atticus, and their pets on a rural property in the Macedon Ranges. She enjoys walking and hiking with her family and dogs, high-intensity training, yoga, meditation, and cultivating her organic vegetable patch and orchard. She also loves cooking with seasonal produce, exploring regional farmers markets, and visiting local cafes and restaurants.

Dr. Vanessa is an avid listener of health and natural living podcasts, enjoys reading (mostly audiobooks these days), and hopes to take up horse riding again. Her personal philosophy is to live an abundant, mindful life and leave a positive footprint by helping people connect with their bodies, families, and the world around them.
