Wings of wellness

A common concern in DB’s tribe is how to expand the care of little ones from symptomatic to consistent wellness care. In this presentation DB will explore the facets of the salutogenesis in chiropractic, the chiropractor, and the health care field at large.

Dorte Bladt is passionate about chiropractic care for children and runs a busy family practice in Newcastle, Australia. Dorte has been a chiropractor for over 30 years and has dedicated the past 25 years to caring for little ones. She has a Master’s degree in Chiropractic Paediatrics as well as a Certificate in Chiropractic Paediatrics and in Paediatric Neuro-behavioural Disorders.

Dorte is founder of the ‘Switched-on Kids’ education programmes which she has taught worldwide since 2006. ‘SOK’ teaches chiropractors about vital aspects of assessment and care for children. She frequently presents at conferences around the world about chiropractic care for children as well as teaching paediatrics at chiropractic teaching institutions.

The book ‘Switched-on Kids – The natural way for children to be their best’ was published by Dorte in 2016 with the aim to inspire, motivate and educate parents and teachers to help children through chiropractic, movement and nutrition.

Dorte launched ‘The Kids’ Summit’ in 2015. The aim is to facilitate connection between like-minded chiropractors, provide education in important aspects of chiropractic care for children as well as raise funds for research into this important population group. ‘The Kids’ Summit’ has raised over $300.000 and has already funded several important research projects.
