Dr Ben Davidson

Owner, AICE Titled Sports & Exercise Chiropractor, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Recreational Running Coach

Dr Ben graduated from Murdoch University in 2014. After seven years working as an associate clinician, he founded Lakelands Health and Performance in 2021 with a clear mission: to inspire meaningful, long-lasting health changes within the local community.

He holds a postgraduate title in Sports and Exercise Chiropractic and is also qualified as a strength and conditioning coach and recreational running coach. Ben believes in practising what he preaches, maintaining an active lifestyle and regularly challenging himself through pursuits such as powerlifting, triathlons and ultramarathons.

In addition to his clinical work, he has contributed to the profession at a leadership level, serving for several years as the State Chair of Sports Chiro Australia.

Dr Kobi Kierath

Associate Chiropractor

Dr Kobi is a passionate chiropractor with a strong focus on sports performance, movement quality and helping individuals move beyond pain. His path into chiropractic began after overcoming his own adolescent back pain — an experience that ignited his drive to support others through their recovery and performance journeys.

With a long-standing background in sport, including volleyball and basketball, Kobi understands the physical demands of competition firsthand. He is currently undertaking advanced training in sports chiropractic and strength and conditioning, further refining his ability to help patients move better, perform stronger and build long-term resilience.

Raff Martinez

Remedial Massage Therapist

Before transitioning into massage and wellness, Raff built an extensive career as an international volleyball player and coach, competing across both indoor and beach formats. He proudly represented the Mexican national volleyball team in numerous international tournaments and pre-Olympic events.

As a high-level athlete, Raff understands firsthand the physical demands of high performance sport — from pushing the body to its limits to managing the wear and tear that follows. Recognising that similar strains and imbalances can affect anyone through repetitive daily movements and workload, he chose to channel his experience into helping the broader community move better, recover well and perform at their best.

Laura Taylor

Practice Manager

Laura has a deep love for the ocean — surfing when the swell is kind, swimming competitively, and embracing the calm that comes with cold water. The sea is her reset button, inspiring her to create Open Dippers, a community grounded in connection, courage and a shared sense of salty joy.

Outside of her role at Lakelands Health and Performance, Laura teaches Pilates, helping people move with strength, confidence and a sense of enjoyment. She is also a proud mum to two beautiful children and two much-loved fur babies.

At the core of everything Laura does is a passion for community, movement and the belief that when you feel good in your body, it positively influences every part of your life.

Receptionist

Emily is a proud mum of three who values family, community, and living an active, balanced lifestyle. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and has a strong passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where she appreciates both the physical challenge and the supportive community it fosters.

Emily is passionate about being a positive role model for her children, encouraging healthy habits and a lifelong appreciation for movement. Her love for family-focused communities is a big part of why she enjoys working at LHP.

As our receptionist, Emily takes pride in welcoming patients and helping create the friendly, supportive environment LHP is known for. She values being part of a local business that brings people together and supports the health and wellbeing of the wider community.
