Fiona Laryn
My journey into Osteopathic Medicine began with five years of full-time study at the International College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) in Milan, Italy, where I obtained my D.O., followed by a Master of Science in Osteopathy at the University of Surrey in London. More recently, I have expanded my studies in pain management and chronic pain through the University of Otago.
I see a wide range of patients in the clinic, from infants to the elderly, presenting with everything from sports injuries and musculoskeletal problems to more complex cases of ongoing chronic pain involving the nervous and digestive systems. I work closely with various medical specialists to ensure patients achieve full recovery, with a clear and individualised treatment plan tailored to their needs.
My techniques tend to be functional—using cranial and fascial approaches—and integrative, bringing all the body’s systems together to identify and address the root cause of a problem.
When not in the clinic, you can find me snowboarding, rock climbing, paddleboarding, or cultivating my vegetable garden.

Belinda McIvor
Originally from a small town in the Manawatu, where I grew up playing a lot of sports, I became interested in the human body and rehabilitation, after experiencing my own sporting injuries during teenage years.
My Osteopathic career began with a strong focus on the sporting world, having had previous experience working with the Warriors and with a local Auckland premier league team supporting them through their injuries. I then diversified and focused my attention on pregnant and post-partum woman, and through this found a real passion working with infants, treating neck issues (favouring one side) postural strains and GI irritations.
In adult patients I see a lot of neck/upper back pain, along with headaches and shoulder dysfunctions.
I love the opportunity to make a connection with each patient and help them to return to daily life without pain and dysfunction. I am primarily a structural osteopath that utilises a logical approach to osteopathic care, and not only do I provide hands-on soft tissue treatment, but I also offer advice and education tailored to each person.
My partner and I have moved to Queenstown to experience the beautiful surroundings the South has to offer. We are keen hikers and hunters, and love spending most of our spare time outdoors.

Speaks English
Born and raised in the UK, I graduated from Swansea University with a Master’s degree in Osteopathy. Over the past five years, I’ve been living and working in New Zealand, and I’m proud to now call beautiful Wānaka home.
I take a ground-up approach to treatment — focusing on optimising the body’s biomechanics to create strong posture and efficient movement. By restoring natural function, I help patients move freely, reduce pain, and gain the knowledge and tools to look after their bodies long term, minimising the risk of re-injury.
My treatment style has evolved through both my personal background as a competitive CrossFit and Jiu-Jitsu athlete and my clinical experience with the British Karate Federation Medical Team, where I provided therapy to Olympic-level athletes.
While my primary focus is structural osteopathy, I have also specialised in cranial and paediatric osteopathy. This allows me to approach diagnosis and treatment from multiple perspectives — considering the body as a whole system to achieve the best possible outcomes for each patient.
I regularly treat a wide range of conditions, including headaches, neck and shoulder pain, back pain, pelvic dysfunction, and knee and foot issues. Through my holistic, ground-up approach, we can work together to improve your overall health, move pain-free, and enhance your body’s longevity and resilience.

Oliver Edmonds
I grew up in Hong Kong and obtained my Masters in Osteopathy at Swansea University, UK. I take a structural-functional approach to treatment, generally using joint manipulation, soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisation and fascial release techniques. As a personal trainer, I also feel that guiding patients on how to manage their own symptoms through exercise outside of the clinic over the long term, is just as important as coming in for treatment.
I have a particular interest in the mechanics and physiology of breathing in how the movement of ribcage, spine and relevant musculatures are significant in contributing to healthy living – particularly in a largely seated, desk-based society.
Over the years I have worked with a wide range of people, of all ages and many walks of life, many of whom spend a lot of their time sat (be that at a desk, or even in the cab of a long-hauler), as well as those who are lucky enough to take spend their days on their feet, outdoors. I have also been fortunate enough to have worked with sports coaches and professional athletes - including New Zealand Warriors and Welsh National Rugby Squad players, PGA Tour Golfers and dancers of the Hong Kong Ballet Company. Being able to get to know and learn from such a variety of individuals is what gets me out of bed every morning.
Growing up, most of my energy went towards Karate, competitive swimming and being out on the water Sailing (and coaching) in Lasers and 29ers. In my spare time more recently I enjoy hiking out in the bush, skiing and climbing, but when I can’t get out of town, you’ll find me lifting weights, practicing some form of martial art or mastering my golf game.

Victor Arriaza Cantos
Originally from Spain, I completed my Master’s degree in Osteopathy at Swansea University in the United Kingdom in 2020. With a lifelong passion for martial arts and sport, my primary clinical interest lies in sports osteopathy and injury rehabilitation. However, I enjoy working with patients from all walks of life and have recently undertaken additional training in paediatric and child osteopathy.
My treatment approach is holistic and adaptable, combining a range of techniques including structural, visceral, and functional methods. This multidimensional approach allows me to address not just symptoms, but also the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. I have a particular clinical interest in shoulder and hip injuries, complex sports-related conditions. As a qualified movement specialist, I place strong emphasis on assessing and improving the quality of my patients’ movement. This allows me to identify and address imbalances that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction, supporting long-term recovery and optimal performance.
Outside of clinical practice, I am naturally a positive and energetic person. My hobbies include outdoor activities and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, in which I compete both nationally and internationally. I also enjoy playing guitar, reading, and—when time allows—indulging in the occasional video game.
One of my favourite aspects of being an osteopath is meeting people from diverse backgrounds. I believe every individual is unique, and I take pride in delivering tailored, evidence-informed care that supports each person’s goals and lifestyle.

My goal is to help people feel supported in their movement and confident in their next steps.
My approach combines hands-on osteopathic techniques with movement, education, and practical tools for sustainable outcomes. I value open communication and aim to ensure every patient feels heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. My practice is grounded in evidence, guided by experience, and centred on the individual.
I’m a lifelong learner and always exploring new ways to deepen my understanding of the body, performance, and clinical care. Outside of practice, I enjoy martial arts, music, and spending time in the outdoors.

Available in Queenstown

I am a Massage Therapist and Manual and Movement Therapist with an endless curiosity for holistic wellness.
Competing and coaching multiple sports from a young age, I became interested in biomechanics and movement analysis, which then led me into training as a Massage Therapist in 2012.
Over the years, I have layered many, many modalities and trainings into my practice— Myofascial Release, Visceral Manipulation, Pilates and Yoga being some of them.
I enjoy teaching a somatic style of movement for rehabilitation and body awareness, with a strong focus on the foundations of core control and breath mechanics.
It is my main passion, however, to work with the body through a hands-on soft tissue approach, I especially like to work with the nervous system to unravel chronic injuries, trauma, scar tissue, headaches/migraines, general injuries, and dysfunction from injuries or repetitive movements.
I also really enjoy holding space for deep relaxation and healing, which looks different for every body—and also for every system within the body—giving a deeply holistic and integrative approach to my treatments.
In my spare time, I like to be out of cell service on an adventure, moving my body, working on the land, and I’m always keen to learn something new!

I’m a passionate massage therapist trained to use various massage styles and techniques. Growing up competing in sports, I learned early on the importance of caring for both the body and the mind. I believe stress and tension should never be accepted as normal—this belief fuels my commitment to helping others unwind, release tension, and prioritise their well-being. From our very first session, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can relax deeply and restore both body and mind.
In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, swimming, and as soon as there is snow, I will be on the mountains.

Dr. Nick Penney
I originally trained as an Osteopath at the British School of Osteopathy in the UK in 1980, practicing in the UK and New Zealand. In 1997 I was a member of the group that created the New Zealand Acute Low Back Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines. We were the first country in the world to recognise that what is going on in your life can have a dramatic impact on recovery from low back pain.
I went on to study the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to
our experience of pain and act as obstacles to recovery from pain, at The Centre of
National Research on Disability and Rehabilitation Medicine, at the University of Queensland and graduating with a PhD in Musculoskeletal Medicine in 2009. During
this time, I was also an expert panel member in the Australian evidence-based
clinical practice guidelines group.
2014-2021 I ran a multidisciplinary pain clinic in Auckland which consistently produced some of the best patient outcomes of any pain service across New Zealand and Australia.
Now in private practice, I divide my time between Queenstown and Christchurch, offering a bio-psycho-social approach to pain which includes several diagnostic tools and a range of techniques to manage acute, sub-acute and chronic pain.
I also teach mindfulness based cognitive therapy, a first line treatment for depression and chronic pain.
Nia O'Connor
People's wellbeing has always been of interest to me and I am excited to be working with a team of experienced practitioners.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Otago and a postgrad certificate in Counselling. I have also completed a Certificate in Business.
When I'm not at the clinic you can find me walking my dog Scamp, rock climbing, paddle boarding or at Zumba.
