Who I Help
Care for every body, at every stage of life
Osteopathy isn't just for one type of person. Whether you're a busy professional, a weekend runner, recovering from injury, navigating pregnancy, or bringing in your newborn — I'm here to help.
What is Osteopathy?
Treating the whole person, not just the symptom
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that looks at the whole body — how your structure, movement, nervous system, and organs all work together. When one part is under strain, it affects everything else.
I use a combination of structural, cranial, and visceral osteopathic techniques — chosen specifically for you, your body, and what you need on the day.
"I treat the whole person, not just the symptom."

Phone Consults - I have had two cellphone/face-time Consults from Dewi and cannot shout loud enough how wonderful I found them. Both times I rang out of the blue hoping she could help me, and she did! First she has me do test movements, which allow her to locate the areas affected. Second she sends me a simple anatomical Diagram showing/confirming the spots affected. Lastly, Dewi advises treatment. The first time I needed to use a certain hand motion to massage a certain place. 15 minutes rubbing and i havent had it since. The second time required a hottie on the spots shown, and not too much rubbing of swollen areas. Worked like a charm! Phone Consults are amazing! You don't have to even leave your home, handy if you are in pain and/or can't drive or have no car. YOU ROCK MS THOMAS!!!

Dewi is amazing! 3 months after having my second baby my back got so sore that I ended up stuck in bed. Dewi's approach is gentle but so effective. She made an incredible difference for me after just my first appointment. I really think all postpartum mums deserve the gift of her expertise. If you're breastfeeding and your neck and shoulders hurt, and your body has been through the stresses of pregnancy and birth Dewi is the woman to see. After treating me I booked my 3 month old in for treatment, she had become fussy with feeding and didn't like being on one side in particular. Dewi located the sources of her tight muscles and gently and calmly treated her. My wriggly baby loved it and she even reduced the amount of feeds she was up for in the night (the holy grail). Mother and baby are both very happy.

Dewi offered such a great space for me today. Very professional, thorough and created a very safe space. I felt at ease and able to trust her. She made some good observations and recommendations on how to move forward. Feeling hopeful. Will be returning to her space and highly recommend for you to do the same
