After working several years in the UBC Library and then as a "lady logger" in Sayward and Kelsey Bay, she went back to school in Toronto to become a Chiropractor in 1977.

She loves to sing and is a member of Camerata Singers, as well as a member of Nanaimo Daybreak Rotary and the Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Mattern’s focus is evidence-based chiropractic for the whole family, from pediatrics to geriatrics. You are never too young or too old to benefit from Chiropractic.
