Team Bios

Kamila Barry
Kamila BarryOsteopath
Kamila Barry is a highly experienced osteopath with almost 30 years in clinical practice. She graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1999 with a BSc (Hons) in Osteopathic Medicine and a DO in Naturopathy, and went on to establish her first practice in Bishop’s Stortford in 2004.

In 2017, her dedication to delivering exceptional patient care led her to relocate the clinic to larger premises in Hockerill Court. This move enabled her to expand the range of therapies offered and collaborate with specialists in cranial and paediatric osteopathy, physiotherapy, women’s health, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, massage, pregnancy care, nutrition, and acupuncture.

Kamila founded Alpha Osteopathic and Healthcare Clinic to create a space where expert therapists could work together with a shared commitment to patient-centred, evidence-based healthcare. She treats a wide range of complex and challenging musculoskeletal conditions, drawing on her extensive clinical experience and advanced diagnostic skills.

With a strong foundation in traditional osteopathic principles, Kamila integrates modern, non-invasive medical technologies to achieve the best possible outcomes for her patients. Her practice includes dry needling, diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound, and focused shockwave therapy—a highly effective, evidence-backed treatment recommended by NICE for a variety of complex conditions and widely used in major hospitals around the world. Kamila’s expertise in musculoskeletal ultrasonography enables her to provide precise, immediate imaging diagnosis, avoiding lengthy referral delays often encountered in the NHS.

Kamila is passionate about ongoing professional development and never stops learning. She continually explores emerging research and innovative, non-invasive technologies to enhance patient recovery and wellbeing.

Originally from Poland, Kamila has called Bishop’s Stortford home for nearly 30 years. Outside the clinic, she is an active member of the local community and enjoys travelling, scuba diving, motorbiking, gardening, and walking her dog.

Peter Cox
Peter CoxNutritional Therapist
Having worked in healthcare since the early 1980’s, I’ve been exposed to many ideas as well as different forms of medicine. As a founder of Prestige Health, Chief Physiologist to Barbican Healthcare and then BUPA Wellness I worked within conventional medical clinics developing and delivering lifestyle programmes to people attending health assessments. Since 2000 I’ve worked as a Nutritional therapist in private practice and in 2006 was appointed as Nuffield Health’s Head of Nutrition, with the responsibility for the development of nutrition related services.

My current clinics see me working alongside some of the Capital’s leading clinicians to provide the best of integrative healthcare, including the provision of nutritional services to ‘top people’s health concierge service, Viavi Ltd. As part of my efforts to contribute to the most effective ‘outcome driven’ healthcare I collaborate with a team of leading Medical Specialists and receive referrals from a number of medical consultants, GPs, psychologists, osteopaths, physiotherapists and PTs among others.

Suzanne Cooper
Suzanne CooperOsteopath and Paediatric Osteopath
Suzanne qualified as an osteopath in 2008 after a career in NHS management and health education, where she developed a passion for supporting people in maximising their health and wellbeing.

In 2014 Suzanne undertook specialist training in cranial osteopathy and has subsequently completed a post-graduate qualification in treating babies and children at the Osteopathic Centre for Children, a world-leading training centre. She has also worked in specialist pregnancy and baby clinics in north London and Hertfordshire. Suzanne became interested in supporting babies and new mums following her own experiences of becoming mum and facing some of the challenges and difficulties around breastfeeding.

Her approach combines gentle cranial techniques with, for adults, more direct treatment styles including dry needling which means she can apply her skills to suit all patients from new-borns to the very elderly. She also has a specialist interest in Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder/EDS and has undertaken two training programmes with the Ehlers-Danlos Society.

I recently had terrible pain in my lower back and a friend recommended Kamila. I was a bit nervous at first as I had never been to an osteopath before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Kamila was so kind and caring and talked me through every stage of my treatment. I’m delighted to say my back is so much better and the exercises and posture advice Kamila gave me has been so helpful. Thanks Kamila!

I’ve just taken my 10 year old son to see Kamila. He had a fall in football training a few weeks ago and pulled a muscle which has become quite sore. Kamila was so kind and reassuring, she gave Seb a thorough examination and assured us both that no treatment was necessary, just rest. She gave him some simple stretching exercises to help keep his muscles supple. I would thoroughly recommend Kamila. Thank you!

I have seen Kamila on at least two important occasions; the first one after falling flat on my bump after slipping off a manhole cover in the centre of Bishop’s Stortford, smashing all four joints of my pelvis and being rushed to A&E with a suspected pelvis fracture. The Orthopaedic Consultant’s prognosis was that it would take me at least 6 months to recover fully. With Kamila’s help I was up and running within 2 months!

The second time I had to call upon her was following a rear ending car crash which gave me a serious whiplash. The pain was excruciating for a while and once again, Kamila’s treatment and subsequent exercises at home, under her guidance, helped me recover in record time.

A big thank you for your help and professionalism!, Your Content Goes Here

I’ve been seeing Kamila for back pain and sciatica, she’s always so understanding and caring and her treatment has got me back on the golf course again. Kamila’s treatment offers great value too.

I’m a fitness trainer and suffer from occasional lower back and hip pain. Kamila keeps my pain at bay with maintenance treatments and always assesses my pain every time I see her. I would thoroughly recommend osteopathy treatment and Kamila, thank you.
