Starting in 2019 | have changed my booking procedure to primarily use an online booking system
I still plan to offer a personal approach around your booking experience where possible, but given the busy nature of my practice these days I think the best approach for all concerned is to book online.
The use of secure forms when you book online now allows me plan your treatment before you arrive and spend more of the appointment time treating you. These forms become part of your case history and can be completed in the comfort of your own home rather than in my waiting room.
It is still possible to txt me of course to 021 152 1774 but I may be unable to return your message until the end of the working day, and sometimes this involved several message exchanges! Thus now you can use the appointment button on this website to book Snells Beach appointments or the link in your txt message and choose the next free appointment time that suits you.
Voicemail messages will no longer be picked on the 021 152 1774 number, if you are unable to book online please txt me to the same number.
I spent my earlier years in the UK initially as a biochemist and then many years as a computer consultant. After successful osteopathic treatment for a rowing injury, I decided to study osteopathy and move to New Zealand. I trained at the New Zealands Osteopathic School in Auckland, where I was fortunate to come into contact with a number of highly experienced osteopaths. Training and working with those osteopaths lead to me incorporating effective visceral and traditional structural techniques into my own practice. Positive feedback from patients encourages me to continue to practice in this gentle and effective way.
Life is a learning process and osteopathy is no different. Over the years I have continued to adapt my osteopathic techniques to be more gentle and effective by making them more specific and targetted to resolve the presenting complaint.
I believe that it is important to make available sufficient time in a treatment session to enable people to feel that they can discuss their reason for seeking treatment, so that together we can get to the root cause of their problem. I see this as an important part of a successful treatment process, which leaves the patient feeling relaxed at the end of the session, and not rushed out the door. Hence I treated for a minimum of 45 minutes.
My family and I have been in the Snell's Beach area since 2010, and I look forward to offering my treatment approach to residents in the area.
