Meet the team: Dr Sandra Hohloch (Chiropractor)
Chiropractor / Idealist / Sidekick to your body’s innate superpowers / Your greatest cheerleader
I’ve been on a mission to save the world almost since the day I was born! (I remember the stories of my friends cutting up….WAIT FOR IT!… earthworms to see what they would do….and me coming along with my band aids trying to put them together again…)
My original career was as an Environmental Scientist – I was a classic science nerd, loved the earth and wanted to save it! After a truck roll over during one of our missions that we miraculously walked away from, I realised that I really wanted to be with my family back in Perth.
So I compromised and changed my role to more desk sitting than doing and spent hours in meetings, getting disheartened by all the bureaucratic red tape preventing us from making a real difference. I was also thinking more and more about health as I had always had a secondary interest in the body. I dabbled in massage for fun, did a Bowen Therapy Certification as I had experienced amazing results years prior for a repetitive strain injury, and then found chiropractic.
I suppose I really owe that “desk job” my life – as if I had kept being more physically active I might not have been given the warning signs that something was wrong…low back pain, groin pain and true “sciatica” that drove me to see my first chiropractor.
I had never heard of them and had no idea what to expect….but within 6 months of care I realised that this was my calling… not only had my presenting complaints disappeared, things that I had lived with since a child had changed so much that I realised “common” does not need to mean normal. I pretty much quit my day job before I was even accepted into Uni, but my belief that it would all work out was right .
So now I suppose I go about saving the world one person at a time (well those that want saving anyway!). I believe each person I help to realise their true potential creates a ripple effect, helping them to make a positive difference in the wider community.
Our motto here is “Building Stronger Families…” aren’t we all part of one big family? So let’s get started!
Meet the team: Dr Ray Saberi (Chiropractor)
Chiropractor / Applied Kinesiologist
Finding joy in movement and physical activity has always been a major part of my life. In my early childhood I was involved in state level gymnastics, later becoming more interested in martial arts and soccer and have been involved in club level soccer for the past 22 years.
It was through my involvement with sports that I personally experienced the magical power of chiropractic. Having suffered a complex soccer injury I had attempted various conventional treatments with little success, I decided to speak to a chiropractor. Going through my first consultation I was amazed to discover the true cause of my injuries and empowered as he described to me a simple but effective way back to good health.
Having myself benefited from chiropractic so greatly, I was inspired to learn the best approaches that chiropractic has to offer. I graduated from the Murdoch University Chiropractic Program in 2009 but continued my studies in Applied Kinesiology, Gonstead, SOT, acupuncture and dry needling. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people of all walks of life in their journey to true health.
Married to my wonderful wife, Lily, we have our amazing son, Aydin. Besides my passion for chiropractic and sports, I enjoy spending time at the beach with my family and two dogs, a Border Collie and a Labrador.
I feel so lucky to be in a position where I can be an integral part of your journey to great health!
Meet the team: Jinjoo Park (Remedial Massage Therapist)
Remedial Massage Therapist / Dry Needling/ Myofascial Cupping expert / Little Happy Chatty
I am a positive and loving person who has been interested in caring for people since I was a small child. I love exercising at the gym, swimming, yoga and you may even see me jogging/running around!
I wasn’t a particularly healthy kid but I became a strong woman physically and mentally from literally exercising and having a healthy diet from the most amazing cook in the world – my mum! So, I believe a healthy life can come from changing your life naturally.
I’ve been massaging for the past for 10 years. It’s blissful to hear from my clients the improvements in their lives (could be as small as lifting their arm well to having better outcomes for their sports or any other activities) as part of their treatment.
I look forward to being a part of your Wellness Journey, as someone who can support you in functional, mental and emotional health, not just being your Remedial Massage Therapist.
A small step today will create a huge change tomorrow so trust yourself.

Kirsty Dredge (Website & Digital Marketing)
Certified Digital Marketing Professional / Creator of this website!
As a former Nutrition coach, I have a keen interest in all things natural health. I am a forever student of the field, and although I am no longer practicing, I still enjoy researching, upgrading my knowledge and sharing with others. Many of my core values align beautifully with the team at AGCW, so building the new website for AGCW has been a really enjoyable project!
Personally, I am mum to twins Aaliyah & Zoe (that are almost always with me at the clinic!). We all moved to WA from Alice Springs (NT) in 2018 so are still finding ‘our place’. Coming from such a small town in the middle of the desert, the beaches and amazing playgrounds in WA are still a huge novelty for us! I love exploring, experimenting with essential oils, getting sucked into a good book and all things equestrian.
