Clementine Carnus
B.App Sci (Comp Med). M.(Osteo)
Clementine graduated from RMIT in 2014 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Complementary Medicine) and a Masters of Osteopathy. She then went on to work in Brisbane, Sydney and New Zealand before coming back to Melbourne in 2019 where she currently resides.
She was particularly drawn to osteopathy because of its deep respect in the body’s innate ability to self heal and self regulate. As practitioners, we are simply setting the body up to do what it is meant to do, heal itself. She believes this is something unique about osteopathy and why it has such a valuable place in the medical system.
She enjoys treating people of all ages, but particularly enjoys treating women throughout pregnancy, newborns and helping the mother-baby dyad with breastfeeding issues, people experiencing headaches and jaw problems. She also enjoys treating people who have sporting injuries and more complex conditions.
Clementine has done further training in cranial osteopathy, biodynamics (Phases 1 & 2) and in infant feeding. She has also furthered her training in Hahnemann Healing, a form of emotional healing aimed at releasing negative emotions from the body.
Clementine is available on Fridays.
Ellie Watts
Integrated Masters Degree in Osteopathy (M.Ost)
Ellie is returning to the clinic after an extended period of maternity leave nurturing her twin girls Mathilda and Luenna who have now started kinder!
Ellie has learnt a lot during her matrescence transition and has come to appreciate life on a deeper level. She has seen, through the process of growing two humans in her own body, how fragile and beautiful the human form is and how lucky we each are to be living and breathing in one, on this magnificent planet.
She hopes to bring this reverence and care into her practise and use her hands to assist in helping each of her patients to more fully enjoy their bodies by assisting to soothe and release musculoskeletal pain.
Ellie believes a lot of our health issues come from an inadequacy of rest. Our culture always demands more from us and is constantly sucking our time with more ‘things to do’. She has seen first hand how our lack of community and always ‘doing’ can result in burnout, illness and emotional turmoil. She has also seen how the power of proper rest, both internally and externally, and meaningful connection to nature can change lives.
Ellie would like to hold space for you to rest when you come in for treatment so that your body can allow itself to heal.
Ellie is passionate about helping mothers find space and rest for themselves, as well as assist in relieving some common ailments of motherhood including sore neck and shoulders, headaches and hip/lower back pain.
Ellie gained her Masters of Osteopathy at The European School of Osteopathy in the UK. She has also completed post graduate studies in Biodynamics (phase I and II).
Ellie is available on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
