Our former IVCA secretary Helga Thorwartl passed away on the 4th of October.
Helga started to build up a functioning IVCA secretary on the 29th of July 2006. She was a reliable partner for our members and the school owners. Her calm, determined nature was always a great help for everyone involved in the IVCA.
To enjoy her retirement Helga gave the office in younger hands and handed over to Kirstin. Helga’s last years were marked by serious illness. On the 4th of October she has lost that fight and passed away. We will always keep her in honorable memory. Our sincere condolences go to her family.
For the MC: Marion Thurner, Claudia da Rocha Patricio, Victoria McKinney, Jennifer Henrickson
For the ICCAC: Kathrin Lösing, Ute Körner, Petra Peer, Inga Lösing, Marion Thurner, Jasmin Semmelmeyer, Anna Lena Nissen

Hi, my name is Matthew Sippel.
My wife Dr Sharith and I have been IVCA certified animal chiropractors since 2011. Over the past 14 years, my wife and I have been blessed to help many dogs, cats and horses along the eastern coast of Australia. Our clinic is on 1.5 acres in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland, which allows us plenty of room to accommodate animals both large and small. I love attending Campdrafts and adjusting well-mannered horses, I also have a large clientele of the smaller animals. I really enjoy talking to dog breeders and getting their take on what makes their specific breed of dog special.
Having grown up on the farms in Australia, I can’t go past the Australian Blue heeler, they have a fierce reputation for being cunning, loyal, protective, intelligent and when you have won their trust you have a mate for life!
I also love the unique skill set of being able to work with horse and rider at events. We have a decked out mobile clinic 5th wheeler trailer that we enjoy taking away for event weekends.
We are so grateful to have this skill and improve the life of many animals……. And humans.
We are looking forward to helping the next generation of IVCA certified animal chiropractors by assisting and supporting the next IVCA exam being held in Australia this year!

Hi, my name is Sharith Sippel.
Over the past 14 years, my husband and myself have been blessed to help many dogs, cats and horses along the eastern coast of Australia. Our clinic is on 1.5 acres in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland, which allows us plenty of room to accommodate animals both large and small. Whilst I love attending Campdrafts and adjusting well-mannered horses, I have gravitated more towards the smaller animals. I had a run of adjusting show chickens and I have a very special place for adjusting tiny puppies with hydrocephalus.
This has resulted in the latest addition to our tribe of animals…. A sweet natured little chihuahua named Shelley who was born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and a myriad of other problems. Thanks to chiropractic, Shelley now races around all over the place and is loving life.
We are so grateful to have this skill and improve the life of many animals.
