My Vision is to support the Osteopathic community to work with The Health to treat the body as a whole.

A community which nurtures and develops Osteopaths..

• to be deeply committed to The Health with themselves and especially when with their patients
• to be truly confident in themselves, their osteopathic practice and their therapeutic outcomes.

A community that ..

• fosters respect as healers within the wider community
• fosters peer respect, including allopathic and dental practitioners
• fosters the collection, sharing and collaboration of data to further Osteopathic knowledge in the whole community

My mission with Health Centered Osteopathy ( in accord with the philosophy and principles of A.T Still) is…

• To provide teaching services sharing skill based experience in a clear and open manner
• To encourage sharing and learning to and from others
• To enhance the confidence to practice and develop Osteopathy as a true medium for The Health
• To be useful and practical adjunct to all other current teaching services

I came across osteopathy after fruitlessly searching widely for treatment of health issues as a teenager. The wholistic approach of osteopathy to restore normal function made sense to me. This was confirmed in osteopathic training with experiencing/learning/using primary respiration which restored normal function effectively.

I have an extremely successful solo practice and particularly enjoy paediatrics, pre and post natal patients, as well as treating those for whom allopathic options have been exhausted.

Passionate about Osteopathy, I have again begun teaching knowing that this is being supported and encouraged by the Universe/Tide.
My dream for Osteopathy is that all Osteopaths be confident in their ability and capacity to work with The Health, each other and the community to bring healing to themselves, their communities and the world at large.

I give deep heartfelt thanks to Osteopathic elders past and present.

Teachers whom have been influential and for whom I am specifically thankful to/for include, Dr James Jealous who first and foremost normalised the practise of Osteopathy for me amongst many other gems. Dr Viola Frymann, for being such a straight and knowledgeable teacher. Dr Bill Johnson for the concept of using thoracic respiration to diagnose via the induced fascial drag as well as assessment and treatment of embryological segments. Dr Bill Foley for confirming what I had thought possible in teaching. Dr Werner Van Camp who besides the healing provided, greatly clarified aspects of thoracic and primary respiration for me, Dr Steven Porter for such clarity of awareness of primary respiration and his approach to acute discal presentations.

Osteopaths I would also like to acknowledge are those who assisted my journey, the teachers at RMIT, Dr Stephen Sexton, Dr Miranda Cox (“oh my god Sean you have to go to do Jim Jealous’ course- you and he talk the same crazy stuff!”), Dr Dale Wilson, the USA biobasics crew, Dr Manuela da Rin, Dr Scott Baxter and Dr Michelle Sherriff.

There are many other osteopaths with whom I have had connection with and assistance from, I give thanks to/for them also.

Personal History

My early years were predominantly spent in south western Victoria, wandering paddocks and playing next to as well as fishing or swimming in the local rivers and ocean.
I now live and work at the edge of Warrnambool on a small property, surrounded by dogs, a cat, sheep, chickens, geese, guinea fowl, trees, native birds, koalas, possums and occasional kangaroo.
I has dedicated my life to healing and greatly enjoy working from such a natural and nurturing space.

The person whom I gives most thanks for is my amazing wife, Mary.
