After graduating, Clare worked in Hamilton in New Zealand, where she was mentored by Dr Geraldine Verbowski, a renowned New Zealand Cranial Osteopath. During this period, Clare gained valuable clinical experience in treating many musculoskeletal complaints and ignited her passion for cranial Osteopathy. Clare returned to Melbourne in 2002, working in a busy and dynamic osteopathic clinic specializing in children, for the next 5 years.

Clare enjoys meeting and treating a diversity of people and conditions, yet has a special interest in treating children and babies. She has attended many professional development courses in Australia and New Zealand with world renowned Osteopaths, furthering her osteopathic philosophy and technique.

She has spent the last 6 years completing Phases 1 – 6 of Biodynamics of Osteopathy with Dr Manuela Da Rin and Dr. Robyn Seamer, European Osteopaths. Studying Biodynamics of Osteopathy has been an amazing journey for Clare. It has given her a deeper appreciation of the inherent healing forces that Osteopaths work with to promote health in the patient.

Clare has completed postgraduate studies in paediatrics and nutrition and has studied under Dr Braden Keil, a Paediatric Chiropractor, who went through the course material of a paediatric fellowship program.

Aside from osteopathy, Clare receives great joy from her two young children, Jude and Marlie. She loves swimming, yoga and growing organic vegetables in her beautiful garden.
