Hi, I’m Kendyl.

I love to help people live better lives. My mission is to be your personal osteopath to bring you the relief you seek and improve your quality of life. I trained at Unitec in Auckland, earning a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Master of Osteopathy. My research focused on osteoarthritis, which is something we will all experience in our lives and is something that can be managed well with osteopathy. I worked in Auckland as an osteopath for 7 years before moving down to Napier in 2023.

Osteo for babies and pregnancy

Since then, I have specialized in paediatric osteopathy, using specific cranial osteopathic treatment for babies, pregnancy and post-partum osteopathy. Having a baby myself, I know the first-hand benefits of paediatric osteo treatment and getting your own achy back and hips sorted! I have also done postgraduate studies in child and adolescent health, so I’m a great resource for mums and dads.

Sport injuries lead me to osteo

Interestingly, I used to be a competitive rhythmic gymnast and then a rower. Injuries from my high performance sports led me to seek osteopathic treatment, so I know first-hand how effective it can be.

My work with NZ athletes and sports teams

You’ll find I’ve worked with NZ athletes and sports teams. I’m passionate about this, and I’ve travelled with them to many international tournaments and world cups. As a dedicated osteopath I want the best outcome for each person. I enjoy treating a variety of patients, so whether you suffer from general aches and pains, arthritis, pregnancy pains, sporting injuries or have a baby that you want treated, I can likely give you the solution you need.

In my free time

Like most people, I love spending time with my friends and family and keeping fit and healthy. I also love cooking, baking, going for long walks, paddle boarding, gardening and craft projects. I believe our health is our greatest asset, which is why I have chosen a career to help others achieve this goal. I look forward to meeting you.
