Having grown up using natural medicine, Taryn Romain felt immediately drawn to the Bachelor of Science (Chiropractic) and Master of Chiropractic Science at CQUniversity Mackay.

Ms Romain wants to share her positive experiences in natural medicine with others and, upon completion of her studies, hopes to incorporate Applied Kinesiology to assist mothers and their babies during and after pregnancy.

Taryn Romain is looking forward to studying Chiropractic Science at CQUniversity Mackay this year

"I feel I overlooked studying a natural health profession at first as I was so used to being around it," Ms Romain said.

"I thought everyone's parents took them to see a Chiropractor when they were sick. I grew up seeing a Chiropractor and I have known no other life."

The former Griffith University journalism graduate may well have taken a very different career path if CQUniversity hadn't offered Chiropractic courses in Mackay this year.

"The other universities could not offer all the attractions this new course does, which includes small classes (one-on-one time with Professor Ebrall), brand new state of the art equipment and a course that was designed by Professor Ebrall to ensure we get more class time and are in a far more advanced position (in the way of knowledge) than any other student from a different university."

With a full-time schedule and hard work ahead of her, Ms Romain said she is looking forward to the challenge.

"Though the course is extremely full on it is sweetened by the fact that we are already in prac rooms and practising patient assessment tasks."
