Meet the team
Dr Sammy
Sammy graduated from RMIT University in Melbourne in 2013 before relocating to Adelaide to begin her career in private practice. Early in her professional journey, she took time away from healthcare to work as Cabin Crew with Virgin Australia, returning to chiropractic practice in late 2016 with a renewed perspective on service, communication, and caring for people from all walks of life.
Through her experiences as an associate chiropractor, Sammy became increasingly aware of how often people felt unheard or rushed within healthcare settings. Wanting to create a different experience, she established her own home-based practice in 2017, built around the simple philosophy of taking the time to listen, understand each person’s concerns, and provide thoughtful, individualised care.
Today, Sammy practises from a beautiful space within Launch, designed to help people feel comfortable, welcomed, and supported throughout their healthcare journey. Alongside clinical practice, she is a Clinical Supervisor and Lecturer at the Australian Chiropractic College, where she enjoys mentoring student chiropractors and helping develop the next generation of practitioners.
Sammy is passionate about supporting people through all stages of life and values building genuine connections with her patients. She has a particular interest in caring for women during pregnancy and working with young children and families.
Sammy is currently on Maternity Leave, enjoying the transition to life as a Mum. When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll often find her enjoying a glass of South Australian red with friends, watching one of her favourite films, or tackling a challenging jigsaw puzzle.
Dr Jo-Dee
Jo Dee’s journey into chiropractic began on the Sunshine Coast, where she worked as a practice manager in a busy chiropractic clinic. It was there that she developed a deep appreciation for the profession and the meaningful relationships that can be built through healthcare. Inspired by the opportunity to support people more directly, she decided to pursue a career as a chiropractor herself.
Over the past eight years, Jo Dee has worked in chiropractic practices across Queensland and South Australia while completing her studies, gaining valuable experience in patient care and developing a strong understanding of what helps people feel supported throughout their healthcare journey.
Jo Dee is passionate about creating a welcoming and comfortable environment where people feel heard, understood, and cared for. She enjoys working with people from all walks of life and values taking the time to build genuine connections with her patients as they work towards their health and wellbeing goals.
During her studies, Jo Dee was fortunate to be supervised by Dr Sammy, whose compassionate, people-first approach to care had a lasting impact on her. Learning the importance of truly listening and creating space for people to share their experiences helped shape the practitioner she is today. She is delighted to now be part of the team at Awaken Health, where those same values are at the heart of everything they do. Outside of practice, Jo Dee loves spending time outdoors, whether that’s camping, hiking, or exploring new places with her dog, Doug. When she’s not working, you’ll usually find her enjoying nature, spending time with friends and family, or planning her next adventure.
