Testimonials
Had an amazing first appointment with Nina today! Decided to go with a different osteopath for the final few weeks of my first pregnancy and so glad to have made the decision and wishing I’d made the change earlier. Nina is so knowledgeable and I just love how informative she is during the session. Feeling very grateful to have her looking after me now, you are amazing Nina! Thank you!
- Shiriya After a couple of sessions with Nina, I was already beginning to feel like a whole new person. She knew exactly what to start working on and began the first session I saw her.
Her knowledge is just breath taking and you can see her passion when she talks to you in everything she says. I appreciate Nina and the work she has done for me so, SO much. - Eilish, P.T. Nina is amazing and I cant speak highly enough about the work she does. We went for a Mum and Baby session after a great birth experience but with sciatic pain and painful breastfeeding for me. I had relief at the first session where Nina also picked up on the tension I was feeling in my neck, chest and jaw due to the struggle with feeding. My daughter had a gentle treatment and I noticed such a difference, even an hour after this initial treatment. Feeding became the beautiful experience that I had hoped for.
I wish I found her sooner. I recommend her to all my pregnant friends with young babies! - Annaliese At 29 weeks pregnant I was hit by a logging truck. After a long labour with every intervention, including cesarean surgery, my midwife sent me Nina’s number. Eight days post partum, Nina welcomed us with such reverence, patience, kindness, and understanding. She listened. She adjusted. She made recommendations. She treated both of us physically and many of the results were instant.
Now, 5 months down the track, I feel we’re both healing from the shock and trauma of the accident and the birth. The most beautiful thing that Nina did within the first session was restore help us to our connection, enabling us to feel comfortable together again, to feed more efficiently, and feel more at home in our new bodies. My daughter LOVES her time on Nina’s table and in her healing hands. Nina approaches my daughter as a whole person, asking permission, gauging her responses before any adjustments. The respect is tear-jerking and beautiful. After our appointments we both sleep better and longer and for a new Māmā that is EVERYTHING. Infinite gratitude for you Nina! May your books always be full (but with availability for us!)! - Sonja |
"I wanted to thank you so much for educating me more around my body before giving birth and always giving me positive thoughts towards my birth, it truly helped!
You’re a one of a kind osteo, keep doing your best" - a new Mama Over the past year I have had Nina as my Osteo due to back and neck issues. What I most appreciated about her was her very gentle approach! She is so caring , listening well to achieve the best outcome for me. With every treatment with Nina it always brought great relief and I am so grateful!
- SN Couldn't recommend Nina highly enough! Easy to get appointments with, lovely gentle, engaging personality, very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. Undoubtedly the best money I have ever spent. Results speak for themselves.
My children have also seen Nina with great results. As a Nurse and a Mum I can whole heartedly say Nina is amazing, seeing her can be a great way to compliment other interventions. - Michelle, Nurse I am so grateful to Nina. Before I met her I thought I would never get better, but she seems to intuitively know exactly what I needed.
Nina checks my whole body. She has realigned my hips, worked on muscles in my feet and legs. Readjusted my jaw. Those small realignments make a massive difference over all. Nina is a very skilled osteopath. She has so many gentle techniques that she uses on me, and explains what she is doing so I'm aware of what is going on. I think the 40 minute session time makes a huge difference and Nina is very thorough. - Zoe |
