Dr Jasmyn Steel

Dr Jasmyn Steel

Jasmyn completed her double bachelor degree at RMIT in Bachelor of Applied Science (Clinical) and Bachelor of Chiropractic Science in 1998.

Both Jasmyn and her husband grew up in rural areas outside of Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Jasmyn was fortunate enough to study under Dr Neil Davies in her undergraduate degrees. Even at this stage there was a particular interest in pediatric care, though the birth of her first child sparked further commitment to the practice of pediatric chiropractic.

After beginning to study a Master of Science in Chiropractic Pediatrics, through the University of Wales, it became clear that to work with the Kiro Kids team would be the most professionally satisfying environment to pursue.

"Seeing the remarkable benefits that chiropractic can provide for babies and children of all ages is the best reward and privilege I could ever ask for."

Dr Kerry Banton

Kerry Banton

Kerry grew up in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne and pursued gymnastics at the Victorian Institute of Sport for most of her schooling years. It was because of the high impact that elite sport had on her young body that Kerry became interested in Chiropractic. She quickly realised that with Chiropractic care she was stronger and more flexible after treatments which lead to improved performance at gymnastics. It was because of this that Kerry quickly understood that chiropractic care could increase a child's potential and decided from a young age to strive for a career in chiropractic.

Kerry completed her Masters degree in chiropractic in 2010 at RMIT University in Melbourne. She was awarded the Adam Hyland Memorial Scholarship by Kiro Kids in 2011 and has been studying her Masters of Paediatric Chiropractic under the guidance of Dr. Neil Davies. Kerry has always had a keen interest in paediatrics since a young age, her number one goal being to provide the highest quality of care for her little patients. She is passionate about chiropractic and finds her work extremely rewarding.

Kerry loves the neurological basis and specificity of NIP and the high quality of care received by Kiro Kids patients and feels privileged to treat the members of the Ballarat community. It is her hope that as she strives for excellence in her Masters studies that the knowledge she will gain will benefit her patients and help to serve them better.
