Dr. Lauren Koedyk, Founder

With a background in professional cycling and extensive global travel, Dr. Lauren brings an unusually diverse worldview to her practice. Growing up in New Zealand, her mother’s wariness of orthodox medicine taught Dr. Lauren to pursue sunshine, fresh produce and herbal remedies as a means to maintain daily wellness.

Yet when her grueling athletic pursuits led to injury and illness, she found holistic chiropractic care to be the most potent way to promote her body’s self-healing.

After earning a Bachelor of Chiropractic from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic (the equivalent of an American Doctor of Chiropractic). Her diverse educational interests led her to travel extensively throughout Asia, and to teach and practice chiropractic around the world.

She eventually set down roots in Denver in 2014, founding Nikau Chiropractic as homage to the iconic Nikau trees that line the shores of her native New Zealand.
