  • I would like to acknowledge and thank my teacher, mentor, and friend, Dr. Sean Gleeson, who first introduced me to Biodynamic Osteopathy over 25 years ago. I have had the privilege of learning from him through numerous postgraduate courses, regular study groups, and volunteer children’s clinics in Warrnambool. His generous sharing of knowledge, professional guidance, and personal support have profoundly shaped both my practice and my own healing journey.
