About Us
Health is a journey, not a destination
Our Story
I (Dr Cass) have a long history with chiropractic, initially taking my baby to see a chiropractor, and then after years of our family being under care, I undertook the five year degree in Auckland to become a chiropractor myself. Following being in practice for 10 years, I completed further studies in Advanced Integrative Functional Medicine (advanced nutrition). It is a philosophy of mine that we must walk our own talk, and believe that food plays an enormous role in the state of our health, as does exercise, fresh air, quality sleep, mindfulness practice and regular chiropractic care.
​
Many of you will already know Dr Andie Beardshall from her time as a Chiropractic Assistant while she was completing her degree. We are thrilled to have her as a chiropractor in our practice since graduating, and know you will benefit from her tailored approach to care and her desire to help every person who crosses her path.
Chiropractic care is integral to a fully functional and integrated spine and nervous system, and our practitioners are experts in analysing our patients for the nuances that present as roadblocks to great communication between our brains and our bodies. Removing these areas of dysfunction allow us to fully express the true and complete vitality we were born with, and the overwhelming stressors of our everyday lives often hinder this.
​
Know that you are in great hands when you step into our practice. We are glad you chose us to be on your health journey with you.

Cassandra Fairest
Chiropractor & Director
​
I'm Cass, chiropractor, mother of two adult children plus two fur babies, wife to a firefighter and a passionate health and wellness advocate.
I was introduced to chiropractic care after having my first child in 1998, who was subsequently referred to a chiropractor (and graduated as a chiropractor herself in 2023).​
​
I practiced from 2013-2021 in Kohimarama at Think Kohi Chiropractic, before undertaking further studies in functional medicine (advanced nutrition) in 2021, and subsequently created the naturally inspired practice ‘The Organic Chiropractic Co'. I love to take care of people of all ages and stages (and the family pets too), and have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our patients. I am inspired by helping our community to get well and stay well, and am honoured to take care of many multiple family generations - from great-grandchildren to great-grandparents.
In April of 2022, I was voted in as the President of the New Zealand Chiropractors' Association - the first female president in our associations' 100 year history. When I'm not in practice, I am busy in this role advocating for our profession.
We have fantastic team with Dr Andie Beardshall also practicing with us, and Salome and Alice on the front desk as our chiropractic assistants. We love nothing more than to assist and educate people regarding chiropractic care and the immense benefits it brings to spinal and nerve system health, so please contact us if you have any questions or want to know more. We would be only too happy to help.

Andie Beardshall
Chiropractor
​
​
From a young age, Andie knew she wanted a career centred around helping others. Her fascination with the human body and its intricate functions only grew stronger over the years.
​
During a high school fair, she discovered chiropractic care through conversations with chiropractic students, and was immediately intrigued. This experience led her to explore the profession further by connecting with local chiropractors, solidifying her decision to pursue this fulfilling path. Andie was amazed by how chiropractic care impacted her own life - not only by addressing physical aspects but also improving sleep, reducing stress and sharpening her mental clarity.
​
Andie is passionate about sharing these benefits with others and enjoys working with people from all stages of life. She is thrilled to be part of the Glendowie community and looks forward to helping others on their journey to better health.
​
When she's not in practice, Andie can be found at pilates, relaxing with a good gook, or enjoying the outdoors at the beach.
