Hi, I’m Anna, and I’m an osteopath with substantial experience in paediatrics. I help babies and children who are stiff and uncomfortable, or who aren’t feeding well. Most of my patients are babies, but I also see children up to age 12.

I’m married with two awesome kids, and they’ve taught me a lot about how wonderful parenthood is, but also how hard it can be. My baby patients are brought in because they’ve been a bit squished in utero, or had a difficult birth, or have had a tongue tie, and they need a big, gentle, loosen up. We often see babies (and therefore parents) who are pretty miserable, and the majority of my work is helping those babies move well and feel more comfortable.

I became an osteopath in 1998, after completing a five year full time double degree in clinical science and osteopathy at RMIT, and did a further year of paediatrics training in 2011 at Victoria University. I’m also a qualified infant massage instructor, and I use this training a lot to teach parents massage techniques that they can do at home. We offer both in-person and telehealth consults, so if you live outside of Canberra, that’s a really good option to consider. If you’re reading this and you have a baby who is unsettled, stiff, or has some asymmetry, we’ll do our very best to get them relaxed, comfortable and moving well.

Hi, I’m Betsy. I’m an osteopath with a passion for supporting newborns and their families, particularly with feeding challenges. My focus is on helping babies feed comfortably, whether they are bottle-fed or breastfed, to set the foundation for their growth and development.

At your baby’s appointment, you can expect a musculoskeletal assessment, a full oral evaluation to identify any functional feeding challenges, and a tailored oral rehabilitation program designed to improve feeding quality. I also provide gentle manual therapy to address body tension that might be impacting feeding. I have extensive experience supporting families navigating tongue-tie, offering pre- and post-procedure functional programs to optimise outcomes.

I hold advanced practice recognition in paediatrics, reflecting my extensive additional education in this field. My passion for infant feeding has led me to begin training as a lactation consultant to further support families. I’m proud to work at MotherHub, a breastfeeding clinic, where I collaborate with a team of dedicated professionals to provide comprehensive care.

I grew up in Melbourne and moved to Canberra in 2016. I always knew I wanted to be a manual therapist, and I fell in love with osteopathy. I earned my Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Clinical Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University and have completed further training, including a Diploma of Child Health from the University of Sydney.

I’m married with two wonderful girls, who are the light of my life. At home, I love spending time in the garden growing fresh food to use in the kitchen. I also enjoy reading fiction and solving number puzzles like killer sudoku and binary.

I approach each family with thoughtful, personalised care and understanding. Because I know that feeding challenges can affect the whole family, I am dedicated to supporting you through these difficulties in any way I can. Your happiness and your baby’s well-being are important to me, and I look forward to working with you to find comfort.

Pleasure to meet you. I’m Poh, an Osteopath that hails from Melbourne.

Previously, I worked as a qualified geneticist who was fascinated about how unique each individual can be. I found myself wanting to have a more direct positive impact on people’s lives and transitioned into Osteopathy where I could apply my passion for scientific evidence and my love for helping people in an individualistic way.

I completed a Masters of Health Science in Osteopathy at Victoria University and have undertaken further studies in dry needling & cupping. During my studies, I enjoyed teaching as a clinical assistant
at Victoria University and I believe that the same knowledge learnt by health professionals should be shared with patients to help empower them to achieve a pain free better quality of life.

I enjoy treating and talking to people from all walks of life. I believe there is always something to learn from everyone’s unique experience and that their motivators and goals for managing pain and improving health are different. I aim to create a non-judgemental environment for people to express their needs and work collaboratively towards a pain free life through in-clinic treatment and out of
clinic management strategies.

Outside of work, I love indulging my foodie tendencies, bushwalking on beautiful days, learning to say ‘yes’ in order to expand my horizons, petting every dog I see and showing off pictures of my cat.

Hi I’m Lauren, I’m a registered osteopath who is passionate about helping people better connect with the wisdom and strength of their own body.


After completing my master’s degree in osteopathy, I have undertaken various post-graduate studies with some of Australia’s leading osteopaths – receiving particular training in cranial osteopathy and biodynamics. I often weave these gentle techniques into a treatment and lean on them as much or as little as appropriate for the condition and individual I’m treating.

I enjoy treating all kinds of people and conditions and have a particular interest in the treatment of migraines/headaches, post-concussion syndrome, and women’s health. I strive to implement a holistic and individualised approach with each person I see, as I believe that health is multidimensional.

After returning to Canberra after almost a decade of living away – I’m excited to get back into regular walks up the local mountains, trips to the snow and the rock-climbing in and around this beautiful city!

This is me and my service dog Aengus, who comes to work and has his own corner in my treatment room. I graduated from Victoria University in June 2022 with a Masters of Health Science (Osteopathy). I began my career by moving to Gippsland Victoria where I spent time working in a regional setting. As a Canberra local, I am very excited to be home again and working with the fantastic team at North Canberra Osteopathy.

I have been passionate about the human body, for as long as I can remember and originally had dreamed of becoming a surgeon. When I got to uni, I found myself working reception for an Osteopath and became intrigued by the idea of healing the body using only hands – Before I knew it, I was packing up my life to move to Melbourne to pursue my studies. I enjoy the prospect of a career of lifelong education and am very excited to be working with paediatrics and hypermobile patients.
