I’m Deborah, an osteopath, naturopath and former registered nurse, with more than 30 years of clinical experience across New Zealand, Australia and the UK. I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and particularly enjoy working with complex presentations, where several things seem to be happening at once and nobody is quite sure where to begin. Bodies, rather inconveniently, don’t always read the textbooks! My approach may include hands-on osteopathic treatment, Western medical acupuncture or dry needling, but it will always be tailored to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.

​

My philosophy is simple: stop, look and listen. I want to hear your whole story not just the loudest symptom and help you understand the why behind what you are experiencing. I believe people deserve to understand their health, not simply be treated for it. You may find me a good fit if you are looking for someone thoughtful, curious and compassionate who will take your concerns seriously, explain things clearly and work alongside you to find a practical way forward with honesty, hope and, where appropriate, a little humour along the way.
