Growing up in one of Australia’s largest chiropractic families, Dr. Jennifer witnessed from an early age the impact that this style of healthcare has had on countless families. She feels incredibly blessed that her life’s journey has been entwined with such a remarkable profession.

As a mother of four, Dr Barham-Floreani is extremely passionate about preserving and promoting chiropractic and helping parents improve their ‘health literacy’ and define their family’s health culture. Dr Jen is the author of the incredible book Well Adjusted Babies which has been read by over 500,000 people worldwide.
