Qualifications and Training


I am an Australian trained and registered osteopath. I graduated from University of Western Sydney in 2004 and hold a degree in Applied Science (Osteopathy) and Master of Osteopathy qualification. I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2017.

In Australia, all osteopaths complete a minimum of five years university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques. They are also trained to perform standard medical examinations of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems.

Osteopaths are required, by law, to maintain ongoing professional development and education every year to stay in practice. In Australia, all osteopaths are required to be government registered practitioners (with AHPRA).
​

Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners and, as such, are trained to recognise conditions which require referral to medical practitioners or other allied health professionals.
