Dr Hayes Woodman
Growing up with Dr Brian Kelly’s son, Nick, Dr Hayes was amazed and inspired by Nick’s performance and energy levels not only on the sports field, but his resilience to the common cold without making the annual trip to the GP like the rest of their peers. After discovering chiropractic care was playing a vital role in helping Nick get the edge not just in sport, but all areas of his health and well- being, Dr Hayes began care with Dr Simon Kelly at Mt Eden Chiropractic. Immediately noticing improvements with his sinus issues and overall clarity, he decided to study Chiropractic and motivate people to become the best version of themselves they can be. Inspired by Dr Simon and Brian’s positive influence on their family and community’s health and well- being, he decided to study Chiropractic at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in the hope to inspire the next generation of forward thinking individuals who are excited about getting their health to the next level. Over the years Dr Hayes has developed a passion for helping sportsmen and women to perform at their peak and looks forward to taking care of like-minded people wanting to get the most out of their bodies and reach their goals whatever they may be.
