I graduated with a Masters of Osteopathy late 2009 and joined Stillpoint Osteopaths in January of 2010. I have also completed graduate training in cranial osteopathy from both the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation and the Biodynamic method.
My early interactions with osteopathy led me to embrace a gentle approach to body work. I also volunteered for a period at Youth line and studied developmental psychology at the University of Auckland both of which led me to include a patient centered style my own work.
I especially enjoy using this approach to help my clients with chronic conditions and complex musculoskeletal concerns. I continue to be amazed by our capacity to compensate and recover from injury. Our systems never stop moving towards health despite the insults they face as we go about our lives.
Ill health and dis-ease are disempowering, I see a big part of my role is to empower people. To educate and equip patients with skills and knowledge, not only administering hands-on treatment.
I am husband and a father of two young lads and live in West Auckland. In my free time you’ll likely find me outside in the bush, doing Taiji or maybe cooking.
