DR MATT CARATELLI
Melbourne born and bred, Dr Matt grew up going to highschool at Elwood College. Having been adjusted since birth, Dr Matt came out of uni in 2017 bursting with energy, going as far north as Mount Isa, QLD (Australia’s largest mining town). After starting a practice from scratch up there for just over a year, Dr Matt wanted to bring the same quality of care back home.
Dr Matt’s focus is building a community of like-minded people for sustainable health practices. Having started Thrive in 2019 we like to think we achieved this despite the following 2 years of lockdowns. This eventually led to Dr Matt and his partner at the time moving intestate in Dec ‘21, while Dr Peter, Maddy and Nick looked after Thrive’s patients.
In that time Dr Matt locumed around Australia, practicing in 5 different states and over 20+ busy practices. He is now back in Melbourne with a wealth of knowledge and experience incomparable to most and can’t wait to help you start your health journey!
Dr Matt has strong advocate for giving back to the community. Back in 2019 before the start of lockdowns Dr Matt spent his Thursday nights adjusting the homeless at Queen Victoria market, regularly host student student nights, speak at seminars and provide free dinner/informational nights for his patients.
Dr Matt is also a professional athlete having travelled interstate and internationally, understanding the importance of care for not only health but performance from birth to end of life.
Dr Matt is also an RMIT University graduate and is trained in a number of techniques catered to suit

Hey - I’m Lauryn, a fourth year chiropractic student who loves learning about the body and all things health and wellness
I fell in love with chiropractic when I was 14, amazed with how much of a difference we can make when we take the time and effort to look after our nervous system and therefore our mind and body. Since joining the Thrive team in 2021, I’ve seen first-hand just how interrelated aspects of our health can be.
When I’m not at Thrive, I’ll often be found at some form of dance or exercise class, at the beach, or seeing friends and family 🤍”
Chiropractic Assistant: Scarlett
Hi there, I’m Scarlett. I’m a 3rd year student of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture. I have a great passion for restoring harmony to the mind, body and spirit.
Working at Thrive has given me a strong sense of community and involvement in the healthcare sector. It’s a pleasure connecting with like minded people and supporting them on their own healing journey. I have seen first hand at Thrive how beneficial Chiropractic can be to the nervous system as well as physical and mental wellbeing.
Outside of Thrive you’ll catch me studying, completing placement at The Health Press, immersed in nature, or having a good ol’ time with my friends and family by the sea on the Mornington Peninsula.”

Hi I’m Dee, mother of 2 beautiful boys, married to a wonderful husband.
Chiropractic has always been part of my life. My mum took me as a child when after a number of visits we noticed my body had healed itself from a skin condition. I have followed my mum’s foots steps and have done the same with my kids who have benefited from a lifetime of Chiropractic care.
I look forward to my shifts, as the patients at Thrive Chiropractic seem like an extension of my family, there is such a wonderful vibe from everyone that gets care here.
If I’m not here you’ll probably find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm or at the gym doing another yoga class.
