Dr Jacqueline Jacobs
Originally from the UK, Jacqueline Jacob completed her chiropractic studies at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic—one of Europe’s most respected chiropractic institutions. Before settling in Australia, Jacqueline lived and worked in central London, where she had the privilege of supporting women through pregnancy and into early motherhood. It was during this time that her deep passion for family care truly took root, as she witnessed firsthand the profound impact chiropractic care can have during these pivotal life stages.
Dr Jacqueline is currently undertaking postgraduate training in paediatric chiropractic through the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics (DACCP), deepening her ability to provide safe, gentle, and informed care for children of all ages.
Known for her warmth, compassion, and family-centred approach, Jacqueline feels incredibly honoured to be part of the ACCC team. She is genuinely passionate about supporting the health and happiness of the local community, one family at a time. When she’s not at work, you’ll likely find her at the gym, on a walk to grab a coffee/Matcha, or off exploring a bush trail in and around Newcastle!
Dr Fiona Poon
Dr Fiona is originally from Melbourne and completed her chiropractic studies at RMIT University. She began her healthcare journey at 18, working in family focused chiropractic practices, which sparked her passion for supporting families through wellness-based proactive care. Dr Fiona has done some extra work in optimising athlete performance at national events, most recently the 2025 Melbourne Pickleball Grand Slam. While working with athletes shaped her understanding of performance and injury prevention, her approach now focuses on the whole person and family.
She loves helping children and families move, grow, and develop with confidence, tailoring care to support individuals at every stage of life. Dr Fiona has an interest in pregnancy and infant care, supporting women through each stage of pregnancy and helping children build strong, healthy bodies. To further develop her expertise, she is completing postgraduate studies in paediatric chiropractic through Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics (DACCP)
Outside of practice, she enjoys travelling, spending time at the beach and with her family, trying new classes (current obsession Reformer Pilates), and catching up on the latest movies.
Dr Jessica Figueroa
Dr Jessica completed her studies at Macquarie University in Sydney with a Bachelors and Masters in Chiropractic. She previously practised in Western Sydney at a wellness clinic, where she gained valuable experience caring for a diverse range of patients and families.
She is particularly passionate about family chiropractic care and enjoys supporting patients through every stage of life. From assisting parents with the physical demands of work and parenting, to helping children and teens stay active and growing well, she believes that proactive spinal health plays a key role in long-term wellbeing. Having played basketball for 20 years, she deeply understands the importance of movement, injury prevention, and maintaining a healthy, resilient body.
With a drive of developing her expertise, she is currently enrolled in a postgraduate course in paediatric chiropractic through the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatrics (DACCP) to further strengthen her knowledge and commitment to providing safe, gentle, informed care for babies, children, and growing families.
