Betsy is a Registered Osteopath. She exclusively treats babies & children.

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.
