Kamila graduated at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1999 with BSc Hons in Osteopathic Medicine and DO in Naturopathy and she has remained very passionate about her work and profession ever since.She started her own practice in Bishops Stortford in 2004, whilst still working alongside some great osteopaths. In 2017 due to expansion, she relocated her clinic to new, bigger premises at Hockerill Court to offer a wider range of therapies and to add a special patient tailored rehabilitation. She created Alpha Osteopathic and Health Clinic to offer a space for other therapist to join with the same aim of offering help to better health and well-being. Her patients usually display a range of many different conditions, often very complex and challenging, which require her to think outside the box and make use of her knowledge and experience, acquired over more than 20 years. Sometimes patients come to see her as their first port of call and sometimes they are referred by their GPs.She uses a wide range of osteopathic techniques as well as dry needle acupuncture, ultrasound- both diagnostic and therapeutic and recently shockwave, which are suitable for treating children, adults and elderly patients.Kamila studied musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasonography and is to be able to use this tool for delivering more accurate diagnosis and better treatment outcomes as well as to avoid long delays of referring patients for a scan through NHS.Although born in Poland, Bishop’s Stortford has become her home town, where her two boys have grown up. She enjoys being a part of the community. When not working she likes travelling, scuba diving, motorbikes, gardening and good food. She is passionate about dogs and has four wonderful cockerpoos.Kamila is registered with the UK’s General Osteopathic Council and she is also a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.

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 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.
