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 Master of Science in Osteopathy at the University of Surrey in London.
I see a wide range of patients in the clinic, ranging from infants to the elderly presenting with everything from sports injuries and muscular-skeletal problems to more complex cases of ongoing chronic pain involving the nervous system and and digestive system dysfunctions. I work closely with various medical specialists to ensure patients obtain full recovery and their treatment plan is clear and tailored to them.
My techniques tend to be functional (using cranial and fascial techniques) and integrative bringing all the body's systems together to find the cause of a problem.
​
When not in the clinic you can find me snowboarding, rock climbing, paddle boarding or cultivating my vegetable garden.

Bianca Coutts
I come from a family of health care practitioners so it was inevitable I would take a similar path. Osteopathy appealed to me because of the holistic, patient-centred approach that I saw.
My training consisted of five years of fulltime study at Unitec in Auckland, coming out of this with a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Master of Osteopathy.
​
In my clinical practice I see a large range of patients coming through the doors including athletes, school children, farmers and elderly.
I have a strong interest in sports and performance with a personal background in soccer, tennis and showjumping. I enjoy helping people get back up and running following injury and working with them to ensure prevention in the future.
​
I am always working to further my skills through attending courses and collaboration with both osteopaths and other health care professionals and specialists.

Brita Graser
Originally from Austria, I trained at the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in the UK where I obtained my Master of Osteopathy.
During my studies I volunteered at the ESO’s women’s health clinic where I developed a special interest in women's health – including pregnancy and post-partum care. I completed a variety of post-graduate courses, with a special focus on visceral (organ) manipulation and the effects of organs on the musculoskeletal system. Jaw problems, neck pain, and headaches are also fields of great interest. I firmly believe in finding the source of the pain rather than just treating the symptoms in order to achieve long-lasting results.
I enjoy treating a wide range of people, using a variety of techniques from gentle fascial release, neural, cranial and visceral techniques, to structural adjustments and articulation in order to facilitate healing.
​
In my spare time I follow my biggest passion – hiking – with the determination to climb every mountain between Milford and Wanaka. On quieter days I practice yoga, mindfulness and meditation.

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.
Raoul Nash
Osteopath D.O. M.Ost.,
Available in Wanaka & Queenstown
Speaks English
Born and raised in the UK and graduated from Swansea University with a Master’s
degree in Osteopathy. I have spent the past 3 years working in New Zealand and recently made the move to beautiful Wanaka.
I have always had a passion for various sports from a young age, since attending university I found my love for Japanese and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and most recently CrossFit thanks to its variety of training styles and competitive nature. Whilst studying for my degree I gained experience working as part of the British Karate Federation Medical Team where I provided therapy to all abilities from children to adults and Olympic athletes.
I use a wide range of techniques, from joint manipulation to fascial unwinding. Through my
years of training, I have developed a key interest in the Osteopathic approach to anxiety,
Cranial Osteopathy and Sports Rehabilitation. I enjoy treating people of all ages, as well as athletes and children.
I am a strong believer of ‘practice what you preach. In my free time you will find me
exploring new ways of keep myself healthy; through yoga, contrast therapy and exploring
nature.

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.

Speaks English, Korean & Mandarin
I am a qualified Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner, and Tuina Massage Therapist. I have been living, training, and working in Auckland for the last 10 years and am excited to be now working in Wanaka.
I love the way that Chinese medicine looks at health and disease depending on the balance of yin and yang. I enjoy continuing to learn how acupuncture works, specifically interpreting traditional Acupuncture with neuroscience.
My general approach to musculoskeletal or internal medicine is a combination of body/ear/scalp acupuncture, electroacupuncture, tuina, guasha (scraping), cupping, herbal medicine, and simple qigong movement.
My passions in the area of treatment are pain management, musculoskeletal issues, internal medicine including any digestive issues, mental health, and women's health.

Monique Runham
Massage Therapist
Diploma in Massage Therapy
Available in Queenstown
Speaks English
Originally from a little town in the far north of New Zealand, Kerikeri, I completed a Diploma in Massage therapy in 2010. Since then I've been in the Wellness industry for 12 years working nationally and internationally. Focusing on different aspects of the role throughout the years, I've found my love of what I do through a holistic perspective. Treating my clients as a whole, connecting the physical, mental, and emotional aspect to someone's healing is where I find the most benefit. Having further trained in remedial and deep tissue massage, this has allowed me to find that perfect combination of deep tissue muscle release and mind-body connection.
The initial contact with my clients to create a safe and comfortable space is paramount. Through this and the healing energy of touch, is where they can allow themselves to unwind, let go of tension and enhance their overall well-being.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy running, painting, yoga and road tripping in my campervan.

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.
