Personalised Chiropractic Care in Marcoola
Chiropractic
A hands-on, individual approach to Chiropractic care that considers the whole person — not simply the symptoms they present with.
Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) is a structure-focused approach that looks at how your body holds itself and moves. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, it considers the compensation patterns your body has developed over time and the underlying patterns that may be contributing to how you feel and function today.
At Bare Earth, we also recognise that the physical body doesn’t exist in isolation. Our approach considers the relationship between physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, and the many experiences and influences that can shape how we feel, move and function.
Care is always tailored to the individual and where they are in life. Technique, approach and force may be adapted to suit your age, stage of life, individual needs and comfort — with a focus on helping you better understand and reconnect with your body.
Pregnancy Yoga
Small, intimate pregnancy yoga programs thoughtfully created by Hollie to support and nurture you through your pregnancy journey.
With limited places in each program, Hollie creates a warm and supportive space to move, breathe and connect with your changing body. A place to slow down, share the journey alongside other women, nurture your body and embrace the natural changes of pregnancy.
Why Bare Earth?
We believe true health begins with reconnection — to your body, to movement, to nature and to yourself.
Bare Earth was created as a space to bring healthcare back to something simpler and more connected. By blending evidence-informed care with a grounded, hands-on approach, we aim to help you better understand your body, reconnect with the way you move and take an active role in your own health.
It’s a space built around real human connection, community and the belief that health extends beyond the walls of the clinic — back to body, back to earth.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to guide individuals back to the wisdom of their own bodies and the rhythms of the earth.
We believe health is something to be understood, nurtured and actively participated in. Through thoughtful, evidence-informed care, movement and connection, our aim is to help people better understand their bodies and feel empowered in the choices they make for their health.
Bare Earth is about creating a space where people can reconnect — with their bodies, with one another and with the natural world around them.
MEET OUR TEAM
Dr Andy Horton
Chiropractor • Founder
B.HSc, B.App.Sc (Chiropractic)
Andy brings nearly a decade of experience as a Chiropractor and more than 15 years working in the health and wellbeing space. He takes a holistic approach to Chiropractic, grounded in a simple idea — helping people better understand their bodies and feel more connected to the way they move and function.
His approach looks beyond the physical body alone, exploring the interplay between physical, mental, emotional and chemical factors and how our experiences over time can influence the way we feel, move and function. Andy draws on a range of approaches, including Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC), and has a particular interest in the relationship between the physical and emotional body, with care always tailored to the individual in front of him.
Bare Earth grew from Andy’s desire to create something more than a practice — a grounded, welcoming space centred around movement, connection, community and helping people take an active role in their own health.
Hollie Horton
Pregnancy Yoga • Founder
Hollie’s passion for pregnancy and birth grew through the experience of bringing her two daughters into the world, inspiring a deeper exploration of natural birth, movement and the innate wisdom of the female body.
Through that journey, she developed a strong appreciation for creating space for women to slow down, reconnect with their bodies and move through pregnancy with greater awareness and trust in themselves.
At Bare Earth, Hollie hopes to create a warm and nurturing space where women can share their pregnancy journey, connect with one another and feel supported through this unique season of life.
Your First Visit
Before you arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to complete your forms online. When you step into Bare Earth, take a moment to slow down. Our spacious, homely waiting room has been created as a place to get comfortable, pick up a book and disconnect for a little while — so you can reconnect with yourself.
Your initial consultation begins with a conversation. We’ll take the time to listen to your story and explore the physical, mental, chemical and emotional factors that may have shaped where your body is today. It’s a highly individual approach, centred around understanding you, your needs and what you hope to get from your care.
From there, we’ll move through a physical assessment focused primarily on how your body functions and moves, using a range of assessment techniques to help build a clearer picture of the patterns your body has developed over time. If Chiropractic care is clinically appropriate and it’s safe to proceed, your first visit may also include your first Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) adjustment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Advanced Biostructural Correction™ (ABC) is a hands-on Chiropractic approach focused on identifying and addressing structural patterns that may be affecting the way your body moves and functions.
ABC works with the body to help it find a more naturally upright and balanced position, with less need for compensation.
At Bare Earth, we use ABC as part of an individual approach to Chiropractic care, looking beyond symptoms to better understand how your body is functioning and moving as a whole.
-
Your first visit is about taking the time to understand you. We’ll begin with a conversation about your story, your health and what you hope to get from your care, followed by a physical assessment focused on how your body functions and moves.
If Chiropractic care is clinically appropriate and it’s safe to proceed, your first visit may also include your first adjustment. Your care will always be tailored to you, with the approach and techniques used based on your individual needs.
Before you arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to complete your forms online so we can spend more of your appointment focused on you.
-
Not necessarily. Imaging isn’t routinely required before beginning Chiropractic care and will only be recommended when clinically appropriate.
Your chiropractor will take the time to understand your history and assess how your body is functioning. If further investigation is needed, we can arrange a referral for appropriate imaging before moving forward with care.
If you have previous imaging that may be clinically relevant, please bring a digital or physical copy with you to your appointment where possible.
-
Come as you are! There’s no dress code at Bare Earth — just wear something you feel comfortable in.
If you’re coming straight from work, the beach or wherever your day has taken you, don’t stress. Chiropractic adjustments are a relaxed process and don’t require you to remove your clothing. We can make small adjustments where needed to keep you comfortable and allow your chiropractor to assess how your body is moving.
Towels are also available for modesty and draping whenever needed.
And bare feet? Always welcome. We’re very much a barefoot-loving kind of place.
-
Yes. Chiropractic care can be adapted throughout pregnancy, with your comfort, stage of pregnancy and individual needs always taken into consideration.
Your chiropractor may modify positioning, the amount of force used and the techniques chosen to keep your care comfortable and appropriate as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
We want Bare Earth to be a space where you can slow down, feel supported and stay connected with your body throughout your pregnancy journey.
-
Yes. Chiropractic care at Bare Earth can be adapted for babies and children, with the approach tailored to their age, stage of development and individual needs.
Care for little bodies looks very different to care for adults. Where appropriate, your Chiropractor may use gentle, lower-force techniques and modify assessments and adjustments to suit the individual child.
We also want kids to feel comfortable at Bare Earth, so there’s no pressure for them to sit perfectly still or behave a certain way — they’re welcome to settle into the space in their own time.
-
Yes. If your private health insurance includes Chiropractic cover, you may be able to claim part of the cost of your appointment.
Bare Earth doesn’t process private health claims on site, but your Chiropractor’s provider number will be included on your invoice, allowing you to submit the claim directly through your health fund.
As every policy is different, we recommend checking with your health fund if you’re unsure about your level of Chiropractic cover.

Bare Earth is located in Marcoola, with plenty of free parking nearby. You’ll find parking directly along the shopfront, on Lexie Street, and along the service road in front of the Surf Air Beach Hotel.
To find us, look for the Bendigo Bank along the main road. The stairwell is located directly to the left of the bank. Head up two flights of stairs and you’ll see the Bare Earth sign at the top — turn right at the sign, then right again to find the clinic entrance.
For your first visit, we recommend arriving 5–10 minutes early to give yourself plenty of time to find us, settle in and enjoy the space before your appointment begins.
-
Bare Earth is located on the first floor and is accessed via two flights of stairs. Unfortunately, the building does not have lift access and is not wheelchair accessible.
We understand that this means Bare Earth won’t be accessible for everyone. Thankfully, there are a number of wonderful and reputable ground-floor Chiropractic practitioners and clinics nearby, and we’d be more than happy to help guide you towards someone who can support you in a more accessible space.
-
We love having little ones at Bare Earth! However, because the clinic is located on the first floor and accessed via two flights of stairs, pram access can be a little tricky.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a suitable or secure space to leave prams downstairs, so where possible, we recommend bringing your little one in a baby carrier or sling instead.
If bringing a pram is essential for your visit, just let us know beforehand. We’re more than happy to come downstairs and give you a hand getting the pram safely up to the clinic.
Babies and little ones are always very welcome at Bare Earth, and we’ll do our best to make getting here as easy and relaxed as possible.
-
Absolutely. We love welcoming our veterans and service members to Bare Earth, and we’re proud to provide Chiropractic care to eligible DVA Veteran Card holders.
To access DVA-funded Chiropractic services, you’ll need a valid referral. For your initial treatment cycle, this can come from your GP, medical specialist, treating hospital doctor or hospital discharge planner. Treatment cycles cover up to 12 sessions or 12 months, whichever comes first.
When booking your first appointment, please let us know that you’ll be using DVA and bring your Veteran Card and referral with you. If you hold a White Card, your Chiropractic care will need to relate to an accepted condition, so please also have the details of that condition available.
-
We understand that life happens and sometimes plans need to change. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, you can do so through your booking confirmation or by getting in touch with us directly.
Where possible, we simply ask that you give us as much notice as you can, so your appointment time can be made available to someone else who may be waiting to come in.
There’s no need to provide a reason — just let us know, and we’ll happily help you find another time that works.
