Co-founder and Director of &osteo.
Vivien was born in New Zealand and came to the UK in 2005. Her early career involved working in the City as a project manager, responsible for the delivery of large projects in a variety of City institutions. However, having decided to follow her passion and retrain, she completed her Masters in Osteopathy at the University College of Osteopathy (formerly known as the British School of Osteopathy when she was there), London and has been working as an osteopath ever since. She has lived in SE London since then. She is passionate about getting people out of pain and moving again.
Vivien set up &osteo because she believes having everything under one roof is the best way to provide the full 360 support you need to get you moving well and fit for life.
She treats people of all ages but has a particular interest in women’s health. She uses a combination of structural, cranial, dry needling/medical acupuncture and taping techniques alongside providing exercise rehabilitation and lifestyle advice.
Since qualifying with a Master of Osteopathy she has undertaken a number of postgraduate courses including a Women’s Health Diploma at the Molinari Institute, qualified as a Mummy MOT practitioner, completed training in medical acupuncture for women's pelvic health, and attended further short courses in pelvic floor rehabilitation. She has also trained with Hannah Poulton in scar therapy and uses the Lymphatouch.
Vivien is registered with the General Osteopathic Council and is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and a Certified Mummy MOT Practitioner.

"Delighted with the results I've seen with a back related issue I have had for years but have found no solution. It's a relief to finally get it sorted and to see some increased mobility which I never had before. I would highly recommend Viv."
