Dr Karen Singh - Founder & Principal Chiropractor
Through her clinical leadership at Nandish Health, Dr. Karen Singh has pioneered New Zealand’s only multidisciplinary clinic offering a fully integrated approach that combines chiropractic care, polyvagal-informed care, neurobehavioural regulation, and a deeply trauma-aware model of healing.
Unlike conventional chiropractic practices that focus solely on structural issues, Nandish Health addresses the root causes of pain, dysfunction, and dysregulation through the lens of nervous system health. Dr. Singh’s approach is grounded in the belief that the body can only truly heal when it is calm - body, mind and soul.
This model is especially effective for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic pain that doesn’t respond to traditional treatment
- Nervous system overload and sensory hypersensitivity
- Headaches and migraines triggered by stress or overstimulation
- Sleep disturbances and night-time anxiety
- Jaw tension and TMJ dysfunction
- Neck and shoulder tightness related to emotional stress
- Brain fog and cognitive fatigue
- Post-concussion symptoms
- Hormonal imbalances related to stress or burnout
- Digestive discomfort linked to vagus nerve dysfunction
- Feelings of dissociation or being "stuck in fight-or-flight"
- Tension stored in the pelvis, diaphragm, or chest
- Emotional overwhelm, burnout, and cycles of reactivity
- Difficulty adapting to stress or recovering from illness
- Physical symptoms of unresolved trauma (e.g. chronic tension, flinching, bracing, shallow breathing)
- Difficulty regulating emotions or staying calm in daily life
Using gentle, non-invasive techniques rooted in chiropractic neurology, behavioural physiology, and trauma-informed practice, Dr. Singh helps patients recalibrate their nervous system, unwind long-held stress patterns, and finally experience a sense of ease, clarity, and connection in their bodies.
