With over 10 years of clinical experience, Maddi is a dedicated Osteopath committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. While she treats a wide range of conditions, she has a deep passion for supporting expectant mothers, babies, young children, and families

Supporting Pregnancy & Early Development
Maddi finds great fulfillment in helping patients navigate the physical journey of parenthood. She focuses on addressing common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomforts and providing structural care that supports growth and development in infants and children.

By focusing on musculoskeletal tension and physical comfort, Maddi assists families navigating early-life challenges, addressing the physical restrictions that can impact feeding posture, structural alignment, and a child’s ability to settle comfortably. Her goal is to support your child’s body mechanics so they can have a balanced, comfortable start to life.

A Personal Perspective on Care
As a mother of two, Maddi’s clinical practice is deeply informed by her own journey. She understands firsthand the physical toll and emotional transitions of pregnancy and parenthood. She knows that when you seek care for your child, you are looking for someone who "gets" the sleepless nights and the feeding hurdles. This lived experience allows Maddi to provide empathy and practical understanding that goes far beyond the treatment table.

A Collaborative Approach
Maddi believes the best outcomes are achieved through teamwork. She works closely with a trusted network of local health professionals—including dentists, lactation consultants, and speech pathologists—to ensure every patient receives a holistic and well-rounded management plan.

A Passion for Myofunctional & Dental Support
As part of her commitment to early intervention, Maddi is deeply passionate about supporting children undergoing myofunctional dental programs referred through by local dentists.

She understands that poor oral habits can profoundly impact a child's development and long-term quality of life. By utilising targeted manual therapy to release deep tissue tension in the face, jaw, and upper neck, Maddi helps reduce the physical resistance that can slow down dental progress. Easing these structural barriers helps children adapt to their appliances more comfortably, improving daily compliance and supporting natural facial growth from an early age.
