welcome to our practice
Evan Donnelly - Owner
I have recently taken over the reins of this practice from the brilliant Dr Claire
My background is in Massage Therapy and since retiring from that vocation I have started to look more into the administration side of things. I have been running Complete Balance since November of 2024.
In 2023 I purchased my first chiropractic clinic which is Kohimarama Chiropractic in you guessed it - Kohimarama. Prior to that I had also acquired OsteoMe, two Osteopath clinics located in both Orewa & Silverdale.
I have always enjoyed being around allied health practitioners and it’s been such a pleasure to get to know everyone here.
There are a few wee changes (mainly a lot of house plants!) so watch this space as we grow. I look forward to meeting you in clinic some time soon.

DR Eugene Lee
Chiropractor
Growing up as a kid, I saw my mother experience multiple episodes of disc herniations, low back pain and other health concerns. She went to see a Chiropractor who sorted her out. Her sleepless painful nights lessened over time with each visit. Having experienced this sight as a kid, I knew from that moment onwards I HAD to be a chiropractor.
My journey to becoming a chiropractor started off with me heading down to Dunedin to do Health Science First Year. After that, I did 4 years at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
Back in my basketball days, I experienced rolled ankles, knee issues, lower back spasms, etc. We face injuries in our lives, either due to work or sports. They stay with us leaving residual traces that affect us as a whole. It affects how our brain and body communicates which requires more effort to do the simplest of things. Sometimes we just need to jump start our engine again, change our perspective on symptoms and look more towards wellness.
Looking forward to meeting you in person to see how you’re doing and what we can do to help you out.

Jerina Corban-Banks
Receptionist / Admin
For the majority of my career, I worked in the clothing industry as production/sales and marketing manager running the school uniform division for a NZ manufacturer. That was until I severely prolapsed a disc in my lower back while working.
2 back surgeries and a spinal fusion later, lead me to seeking out Chiropractic care to maintain spinal functionality and mobility.
That is where Claire, CB’s practice owner, stepped in and became my trusted Chiropractor.
The culture of the practice is one of a caring, family-based place of healing and wellness. Through Claire’s genuine caring and treatments, came a trusted friendship which has resulted in my becoming a part of the team, in semi-retirement, as part-time receptionist.
Having been a patient, with an extensive history of back surgeries, has given me an insight and understanding of the benefits of chiropractic and acupuncture care.
Complete Balance offers so much more to your well-being and is holistic in all treatments with our experienced intuitive practitioners.
