Vibrant living
Every age, every body
At Vibrant Life, our team of North Devon spinal-health practitioners (led by Chiropractor Dr Rachael Dunn, D.C.) provides exceptional, family-focused care designed to help you feel better now and build lasting health for the future.
“I started chiropractic in my teens — I had growing pains and my mum took me to a chiropractor. The relief was immediate. I knew then this was what I wanted to do.”
Twenty-five years on, we run the longest-established NeuroImpulse Protocol centre in North Devon. We teach NIP internationally and welcome guests of every age — from infants to grandparents — through our doors at 23 South Street.

Welcome to the Vibrant Life Centre
Experts in Nervous System-Based Spinal Health and Wellbeing.
Since 2001, we've been helping individuals and families across Devon achieve their health goals — naturally. Our mission is to empower you to take excellent care of your body and nervous system, so you can enjoy a vibrant, energised life long into the future.
01
A 25-year mission
If you're living with aches, pains, tension, or stress — please don't ignore them. These are your body's signals that something isn't right. Painkillers may mask the issue, but without proper care, the underlying cause may worsen over time.
02
Self-healing by design
We believe that vibrant health is your body's natural state — your nervous system is designed to self-heal and self-regulate. But in today's fast-paced world, stress, poor movement, and unresolved injuries can interfere with this process. That's where we come in.
We treat every guest with compassion, care, and curiosity. From babies and children to adults and elders, we adapt our care to your needs, goals, and stage of life. Our entire team is passionate about helping you reconnect with your body, reduce stress, and restore balance — so you can feel your best.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our Centre in Braunton, North Devon, and to supporting you on your journey to a healthier, more vibrant life.

Step by meticulous step through Caro's NIP treatment (and her guidance of my wider overall treatment within vibrant life) she has lead to me moving and feeling BETTER than I did in my late teens.

Rachael was great, explained everything and after an hour I left in less pain and with a plan of care for the next 6 weeks. Full confidence in the practice and the staff.

I received tui na (a hard-to-find Chinese massage technique) from Vanessa to alleviate my muscle stiffness. The place is full of great energy. So glad this is on my doorstep!
