Meet The Doctors at Back to Living Chiropractic
Meet Dr. Louise Blair (Chiropractor)
After experiencing years of painful headaches and missed time from school, a chiropractor transformed Louise’s life and set her on a new career path. She’d intended on becoming a neurosurgeon, but her experience with chiropractic changed her mind.
I was drawn to doing something different and walking to my own beat.
She attended Macquarie University, where she’d been introduced to techniques such as Applied Kinesiology and Activator. There, she also discovered that chiropractic wasn’t just for pain relief.
It’s about improving the connection between brain and body. It can make such a difference in someone’s life.
Joining the Wellington Community
Since graduating, Louise has undertaken regular courses to continue learning. She is a Certified Posture Expert and is currently completing the Postural Neurology certification. As well as regular courses on nutrition, she has studied Torque Release Technique™, Applied Kinesiology and has a certification in Activator Methods®. Previously, she served as the Vice President of the NZ Chiropractors’ Association and is currently serving as on the Board of Trustees for the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
Louise feels fortunate to have been practicing in Wellington for two decades.
I enjoy encountering our patients when I am out and about, seeing them going about their lives feeling and functioning so much better. Sometimes when I’m out with my kids, we greet so many people, they have asked do I know everybody!
Outside of the office, Louise and her blended family live a busy life. They ski in the winter, enjoy traveling, road cycling, tramping and love to be active.

Meet Dr Connor Brosnan (Chiropractor)
Connor is a Waikato lad who grew up very active. He’s spent most of his life doing martial arts and training others. Because of this he’s had many years of seeing what the human body can do, and analysing its performance from many angles for many bodies. Because of this Connor discovered a love for helping people reach their maximum potential.
Connor loves solving problems and understanding what patients present with, and for him, people are the ultimate challenge. We are so interesting and complex, with a body and a consciousness, there is so much that goes into how we experience life and the world. And that’s why Connor loves chiropractic; it’s about looking at every part of you, and combining it together to understand where you are, how you got here, and how to move forward.
Connor’s personal goal is to help all who see him, not just get past the difficulties and stresses of life they may be facing, but to get them functioning at the best they can reach, with enough excess energy in the tank to effortlessly brush off future burdens.
He’s looking forward to helping look after you all.
Meet Dr Mina Butler (Chiropractor)
Born and raised in Wellington, Mina attended Wellington Girls’ College just down the road, where she developed a deep passion for health and wellness. Actively engaged in sports and growing up in a large, lively family, there was never a dull moment in her childhood. However, after sustaining an unfortunate knee injury, Mina was introduced to chiropractic care, which changed her dreams of being a medical doctor to becoming a chiropractor.
Choosing the Chiropractic Path
This experience sparked a new appreciation of health and the power of the body, and Mina quickly decided to pursue chiropractic care as her career. She earned her degree from New Zealand College of Chiropractic in 2024. Since then, she has been dedicated to sharing the chiropractic vision of wellness with her patients, promoting optimal health, and advocating for the wellbeing of every individual she cares for.
While Mina enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life, she has a particular passion for helping young families, children, and individuals actively pursue their health goals. Growing up in a large family and taking on the role of a second mum to her youngest brother, Mina understands the importance of fostering health and wellness from an early age, especially for the littlest members of the family.
She looks forward to caring for you and your family!
