LEAD OSTEOPATH

Pili Munoz

B.App.Sc (Osteo), Grad.Dip (Osteo.Paed)

Having been in practice since 1992 after graduating from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and completing a Graduate Diploma in Osteopathic Paediatrics in 1996, I have had a lengthy and very passionate journey with osteopathy. This has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years in NZ and with Stillpoint. I have continued throughout my career to do postgraduate studies in OCF and since 1998 I have been involved as a faculty member of the SCTF of ANZ.

MORE ABOUT PILI

SENIOR OSTEOPATH

Greg Fitchew

BAppsSci, MOst, BEd

I trained in New Zealand graduating with a Masters of Osteopathy and a Bachelors of Applied Human Sciences from Unitec. My passion for osteopathy began after experiencing the benefits of osteopathic treatment in my own life.
What I enjoy the most about osteopathy is the diversity of practice that it offers, and the continual inspiration provided by the human body’s ability to adapt and heal. I am particularly interested in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) and enjoy using this approach to treat people of all ages.

Janice Huang

M.Ost, B.App.Sc (HB), PGCert.HealSc (Acupuncture), BE

I graduated from Unitec, Auckland, in 2010 with a Master’s degree in Osteopathy.
Health and wellbeing have always been my keen interests, and I was attracted to osteopathy because of its holistic considerations, comprehensive training, and the fundamental anatomy and physiology on which it is based.
As an osteopath, I enjoy using gentle manual palpation to facilitate a positive change in patient health. I appreciate the continuing personal growth in each of my working days as I listen to my patients and assist them to alleviate pain and find better health.

Sarah Jackson

BAppSc(HB)M.ost

Hi I am Sarah. I have been practicing Osteopathy since graduating from Unitec in 2004 and specialising in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) since 2007. I was always interested in health, but I did not learn of Osteopathy until my twenties and the more I learnt, the more I understood its philosophies and they made sense to me. I like how we never treat just a part; it is always with the whole in mind. I used to work at Stillpoint Osteopaths about 10 years ago. Since then, I have travelled,
continued my Post Graduate Education in OCF and practised Osteopathy part time while having 2 small children.

Osteopath and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Rain Zhao

M.Ost.B.App.Sc (HB), B.M (Acupuncture & Tuina)

I was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. When I was a child, I started helping my grandfather grind herbs. After graduating from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, I practiced for about seven years as an acupuncturist and physical therapist at Beijing Puhua International Clinic.
I came to New Zealand in 2016 and became an ACC registered acupuncturist and have over five years of working experience in Auckland until now. Currently, I am a Master's student of Osteopathy. My thesis is about the comparison of Chinese manipulative therapy and New Zealand osteopathy in treating musculoskeletal disorders.
With the appreciation of the holistic approach of traditional Chinese medicine and Osteopathy, I am keen to help my patients relieve pain and achieve optimal health.

Olivia Wells

B App Sci(H.B), M.Ost, Cert PEMF Pract, Cert PEMF Pract (Adv)

Hi, my name is Olivia, I grew up on the beautiful Kapiti Coast and moved to Auckland where I completed my Masters in Osteopathy at Unitec.
Struggling with my own health and pain in my teenage years led me to osteopathy, and I understand and empathise with the trials clients face due to pain, illness and sporting injuries. My personal experience gives me a passion for helping clients get back to their best and regain their quality of life.
I specialise in gentle techniques, osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) and structural techniques when required to be able to tailor sessions to each client’s individual needs.

RECEPTION

Ashleigh Kirkwood

Originally from Northern Ireland, I moved to New Zealand in 2006 via London, where I worked for a successful organic retail business. I joined the Stillpoint team shortly after arriving in the country, and they have since become my New Zealand family.

I take great pleasure in my role in reception, and in being the welcoming face that greets each and every client. I believe your treatment starts as soon as you walk through our door!

Outside of work, my passions include literature, cooking, travel, and exploring my creative side. And if I’m surrounded by friends, with a glass of New Zealand wine in my hand, I’m a happy woman!

RECEPTION

Alisha Sturt

Hello! My name is Alisha and I have been part of the lovely Stillpoint team since April 2022 and have loved every second of it! I particularly enjoy being able to welcome and assist our wonderful patients when they come into the clinic or over the phone. I hope to make everyone we see at the clinic feel as welcome as I did!

Alongside my reception/admin position with Stillpoint, I have an active social life and spend as much time as I can with my family! I really enjoy trying new kinds of fitness classes with my friends or going to new places to eat!

RECEPTION

Lucia Norrie

I am the daughter of Pili Munoz (our lead osteopath) and I am currently in high school. I
have been working at reception since 2020.

I care about making sure people have the best experience possible when coming to the
clinic.
One of my passions is human rights and making sure everyone is comfortable, and I
aim to bring these values into everything I do.
My favourite things to do outside of school and work are reading, playing netball and
swimming.

office morale

Kaia

Spotlight on the furriest and arguably the cutest member of the Stillpoint family, Kaia.
Kaia has been with the clinic since she was a puppy, and in that time has provided of hours
of cuddles and general delight.
Kaia is a master in the art of public relations, and always knows whether to give a wet-nosed
welcome, a playful ‘yip’, or an invitation to rub her belly. And being of the hypoallergenic
variety, her fur won’t give you the sniffles.
While mostly resident in her ‘mum’s’ treatment room, Kaia can sometimes be found in the
office, making sure the clinic runs like a well-oiled machine.
Note, that while Kaia is a gentle and loving soul, we are mindful of those who are either
nervous of, or simply not eager to be around dogs, and will ensure she is out of sight upon
request.
