Overlooking
the Avon Heathcote Estuary in the Christchurch suburb of
Ferrymead, Connect Chiropractic has been offering
community-focused healthcare since 2018. Founded by Dr
Matthew Wild and his wife, Dr Alexandra Skjervheim, Connect
offers a koha-based payment system to ensure that
sustainable chiropractic care is accessible for anyone in
the community who needs it. The principles of koha are
embedded throughout the practice, with its foundation of
reciprocity, exchange and giving apparent in everything
Connect does.
To support those values, Connect chooses
three community organisations to spotlight each month.
Patients are each given a token to support the organisation
Chiropractor Matt Wild with his family.
When Christchurch chiropractors Dr Matthew Wild and Dr Alexandra Skjervheim told people the business plan for their new chiropractic practice, people told them they were crazy. Because what they were suggesting was a koha system. Yet it worked. Two years later, Connect Chiropractic in Ferrymead has grown by leaps and bounds – and was made a National Sustainable Business Network Awards Finalist. It s this unwavering strength in people that had led to the success of the company, the couple believes.
