Stefani studied osteopathy at Victoria University, graduating in 2018. She has worked in Torquay VIC, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Stefani enjoys treating a variety of patients from all walks of life.

Stefani believes every patient’s needs are unique and multifactorial. Understanding the whole patient is essential in structuring an effective treatment plan. Her treatment style is versatile, incorporating fine, light-handed techniques for those with acute pain alongside firmer, direct, structural manipulation when indicated.

Whilst working in laboratory medical science, Stefani completed a massage course in 2009 to explore another avenue of health care. She felt that the use of hands-on therapy to help others recover from injury was just her thing! This led to a career change, studying osteopathy at Victoria University.

Stefani believes in movement as medicine – her favourite mode of rehabilitation is Pilates. She also has a particular interest in assessing and treating the hips and pelvis. Combining hands-on care and exercise empowers patients to take charge of their health. Educating patients on how they can help themselves is a must!

When Stefani is relaxing, you’ll find her falling off a SUP, in a pilates studio, or hanging with her huskies. She enjoys functional training and pretends to avoid coffee. If you have any tips on local bushwalking and hiking, let Stefani know 🙂

Renae graduated from the University of Western Sydney with an undergraduate degree in Applied Science (Osteopathy) and a Masters of Osteopathy and has been working at Beech Health since 2010. Since graduating Renae is continuing her Osteopathy journey by undertaking study in the Phases of Biodynamics in the cranial field and Paediatrics.

A healthy lifestyle, enjoyment in physical activity and sport are all passions of Renae’s, all of which are reflected in her care of patients. Renae sees patients of all ages, particularly children, adolescents and sports related injuries. “After suffering multiple sports related injuries as a teenager I believe in prevention, before the need for treatment of an injury is required.” Renae treats using mainly indirect techniques to maximize a person’s musculoskeletal biomechanics and achieve optimal health.

In her time away from work Renae is triathlon training or exercising with her black Labrador Nixon and Groodle Huey.

Josh graduated from Southern Cross University with a Bachelor of Clinical Science and a Masters of Osteopathic Medicine and has recently relocated to Newcastle after working on the NSW Mid North Coast.

His final thesis explored the efficacy of osteopathic management for paediatric conditions. Having studied various manual therapies and movement practices for the last 10 years, he has developed a deep appreciation of the body and its constant striving for health as an intelligent, dynamic and integrated system. He considers himself very fortunate to have found the osteopathic framework, one in which the physical, physiological and emotional aspects of health are all equally attended to. Josh utilises a blend of physical assessment, osteopathic techniques, rehabilitation strategies and education to assist people of all ages in achieving lasting outcomes.
