David has been in full-time osteopathic practice since 1998. He graduated from RMIT University after 5 years of study, and received the award for most outstanding graduate of his year.

He has worked for 3 years in a New Zealand Centre for the Cranial Field of Osteopathy, and has undertaken ongoing post graduate training in the Biodynamics of Osteopathy.

Prior to Osteopathy, David spent 2 years studying Architecture. He found both mystery and inspiration in architectural space and form; especially where buildings are able to so profoundly affect a sense of wellbeing.

Dr Andrew Taylor Still (The Founder of Osteopathy, 1874) referred to the “Architect”, the intelligence within Nature that designed and created the human form. Like a well designed building, the human body generates a natural sense of vitality and wellbeing when all elements are in harmony and accordance with the original blue print. When life’s traumas result in the body deviating from this intended design, it ceases to provide an environment conducive to health.

The body regardless of how unbalanced, always strives towards its point of origin, the blue print of its conception. It is this internal drive that provides the therapeutic force for a cranial osteopath. Osteopathy in the Cranial Field is a method of treatment that utilises the body’s own self healing potential to resolve past trauma. The outcome of treatment is the return to one’s natural state of balance, vitality and wellbeing.

Treatment is suitable for all ages, from the new born to the aged. During a course of treatment, David often finds it useful to involve the unique skills of other health professionals. By combining Osteopathy and such modalities as Massage, Classical Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Herbalism, Acupuncture, Feldenkrais, Palates, Podiatry, Dentistry and Behavioural Optometry patients receive the best possible care.

In practice, David has a special interest in treating those who are preparing for a pregnancy. Experiencing a sense of balance, stillness and peace during pregnancy, sets the stage upon which a new born child lives it's life.
