About Me
Hi, I'm Kirsten! I'm an Australian-trained and registered osteopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, offering holistic osteopathic care for the whole family. I have a special interest in pregnancy and postpartum care, and I love working with babies and children of all ages.
In addition to my osteopathic training, I am also a registered International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This unique combination allows me to integrate gentle, effective bodywork with evidence-based lactation support—helping mothers overcome challenges and achieve their individual breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be.
On a personal note, I’m a mother of three wonderfully energetic children who keep me on my toes! I understand firsthand the realities of birth, the physical demands of parenting, and the journey of feeding and nurturing a baby—day and night.
Originally from Sydney, I spent nearly 12 years living and practicing in Singapore before returning home
in 2020. I’m passionate about supporting families through all stages of life with care that’s empathetic,
experienced, and evidence-informed.

My Background |
I began my career as a senior associate osteopath in a busy private clinic in Australia, where I worked for three years before relocating to Singapore in 2008. There, I joined Osteopathic Health Care and practiced for 12 years, building a strong reputation for family-based care. In 2020, I returned to Sydney and now practise at Body of Life Health Centre in Frenchs Forest.
In addition to clinical practice, I’m actively involved in professional education and research. I’m a speaker for GOLD Online Lactation Education, an author and peer reviewer for the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, and a former coordinator and lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology for Massage and Naturopathy students at TAFE Tasmania. I’m a registered member of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Osteopathy Australia. Over the years, I’ve delivered educational talks on topics such as workplace wellness, posture and back care, injury prevention, and the role of osteopathy in breastfeeding support. I’m also a regular guest speaker at new mothers’ groups, helping parents understand how osteopathy can support healthy development in children—from infancy through to adolescence. |
My passion |
My mission is to provide gentle, informed care for you and your little ones - at every stage.
With over 20 years of clinical experience—and a deep understanding of the challenges that come with parenting—I’m committed to helping you understand the root causes of pain or discomfort, whether it’s your own or your child’s. By explaining what’s happening, why it’s happening now, and how we can work together toward recovery, I aim to give you not just relief, but long-term confidence in your body’s ability to heal. Through skilled osteopathic treatment and personalised care, I’m here to help you feel informed, supported, and well. |
