(Chiropractor)
“After years of helping people optimise their health through the nervous system, I began looking even deeper, at the health and function of our 37 trillion cells, and started asking a different question: how do I help people recover quicker, function better, perform and feel their absolute best, for longer? CELL is my answer.”
Dr Sara Winchester is the driving clinical force behind CELL Performance Lab, the Founder whose work as a holistic chiropractor and whole-person health practitioner shapes every protocol, every assessment, and every standard the facility is built on.
CELL exists because of a question Sara couldn’t stop asking after two decades in clinical practice: what does it actually take to help someone be at their absolute best in all areas of their health?
Her path started early. She discovered her fascination with the human body as a gymnast, and by 14 had already decided she wanted to be a chiropractor, a decision she pursued through a Bachelor of Human Movement Science and a Master of Chiropractic Science. She went on to build a practice in Mosman that has now served the same families for more than 20 years, some now into their fourth generation of care under her.
In 2018 she relocated to Terrigal to be closer to extended family who have called the Central Coast home for 60 years, founding Align & Activate, the holistic chiropractic practice she still runs today, now co-located with CELL Performance Lab.
That depth of trust, multi-generational, decades-long, built one session at a time, is exactly what she brings to CELL’s clinician-led model. Every membership protocol is personally assessed and prescribed by Sara, because her whole career has been built on the belief that real outcomes come from understanding the whole person, not just their symptoms.
Sara teaches meditation and yoga, runs wellness workshops, and is a regular speaker at practitioner seminars, sharing her approach with the next generation of practitioners as well as her own clients. You’ll often see her volunteering in roles around sport, most recently as a Terrigal SLSC Beach Coach. She’s also a devoted mother of three.

The book reflects her longstanding commitment to helping people better understand and trust their bodies, and in turn feel empowered in their choices for their health and wellbeing journey through life.
CELL Performance Lab sits at 57 Terrigal Drive, co-located with Sara’s chiropractic practice. Recovery, energy and longevity under one roof: clinician-led, evidence-informed, and built around you rather than chosen from a menu.
