Anna is our Prinicipal Osteopath who has substantial experience treating babies and children.

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.
