Rebecca Portelli - Chiropractic Assistant
Hi, I’m Rebecca, a Chiropractic Assistant at Dynamic Chiropractic.
Originally from Melbourne, my family and I moved to the beautiful Whitsundays in 2016 after falling in love with the region during family sailing holidays. My husband, Justin, is also a chiropractor, and together we have two daughters, Navi and Jure.
I have worked in the chiropractic and healthcare industry for more than 20 years, beginning my career as a Chiropractic Assistant in a busy multidisciplinary clinic in Melbourne. Along the way, I completed qualifications in Business Administration and Relaxation Massage, while gaining valuable experience working alongside a number of inspiring chiropractors.
Justin and I have owned and operated chiropractic clinics throughout our careers, and chiropractic care has always been a central part of our family's lifestyle. Today, I am passionate about helping people improve their health naturally and supporting them on their journey to better wellbeing. Outside of work, my greatest joy is my family. I’m also a proud dog mum to three very spoiled Dachshunds!
I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Dynamic Chiropractic team and the wonderful community we serve. Helping people achieve their health goals is something I genuinely love, and it never feels like work—it feels like making a positive difference every day.
