Get to know them below.
Meet Dr Meredith Ruby D.C
Growing up in the USA, Dr. Meredith always knew she wanted to work in healthcare but only seriously became interested in chiropractic after attaining her Bachelor’s degree in sport medicine at East Carolina University.
Her first degree provided a solid foundation to begin working with the body. The specific knowledge she gained of the extremity system has continued to be utilized now within her chiropractic scope.
Dr. Ruby acquired her doctor of chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. Learning the art, science and philosophy of chiropractic as well as the Palmer package techniques. She moved to Australia in 2009, first living and working in Sydney. Then both life and work took her to the Pilbara in Western Australia. Yet, she has now come full circle returning to Sydney and residing locally in Balmain.
Dr. Ruby skills involve using diversified, Thompson, Sacro-Occipital technique (SOT), activator techniques. She also finds added benefit to the patients, if indicated, to use cranio-manipulative reflex technique (CMRT) and cranial therapies (both branches of SOT) in which Dr. Ruby has a very special interest. She has found that using the combination of techniques allows longer lasting effects whether it be to alleviate pain, maintain your health or simply wellness care.
Meredith is a strong believer that our bodies tell us everything we need to know; we just have to learn to listen. She also understands that health is individual, multi-faceted and often complex. Which is why you will receive treatment tailored to your specific individual needs. She enjoys treating all age groups with a wide variety of issues ranging from organ reflexes, hips, ribs to the weird and unexplained aches and pains.
Dr. Ruby places an importance on her own health as she has set herself a goal of living healthy to the age of 100. When she isn’t adjusting patients, she does stay active with walking, running, yoga and being out in the sun. She also enjoys watching cooking shows and trying new recipes with her partner.
With over a decade of experience in both a regional and city clinic setting she is looking forward to maintaining a long, happy and healthy relationship with her local peninsula community via chiropractic.

Meet Dr Yuleena Cheung
Growing up and studying in Sydney, Dr Yuleena developed an early interest in health, movement, and the body’s natural ability to heal. She began her academic journey in nutritional sciences before discovering her passion for chiropractic, where she found a deeper connection to supporting the body through structural and neurological balance.
Dr Yuleena completed her Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Sydney, followed by a Master of Chiropractic and Graduate Diploma in Chiropractic Science at Macquarie University. Her career has taken her across both regional and metropolitan Australia. She spent several years working in the Southern Highlands and Goulburn regions of NSW, before moving to Western Australia where she practiced in both Perth and the Pilbara Region. These experiences have shaped her ability to work with a diverse range of patients and conditions. She now returns home to Sydney, bringing with her over a decade of clinical experience.
Dr Yuleena’s approach combines evidence based chiropractic care with a broader understanding of balance, rhythm, and flow within the body. Influenced by her Chinese heritage and Eastern perspectives on health, she integrates an intuitive appreciation of how lifestyle, environment, and internal systems interact. While her primary focus is on restoring nervous system function, she aims to support overall vitality and harmony across the body.
Her techniques include diversified adjusting, soft tissue therapy, instrument assisted methods, cranial work, dry needling, and myofascial cupping. She tailors each treatment to the individual, using a combination of approaches to help restore movement and function.
Dr Yuleena enjoys caring for people of all ages and presentations from everyday aches and pains to more complex or long-standing concerns. She believes that every body communicates what it needs, and her role is to help guide her patients back to a place of balance and ease.
