Fiona Laryn
My journey into Osteopathic Medicine began with five years of full-time study at the International College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) in Milan, Italy where I obtained my D.O. Followed by Master of Science in Osteopathy at the University of Surrey in London.
I see a wide range of patients in the clinic, ranging from infants to the elderly presenting with everything from sports injuries and muscular-skeletal problems to more complex cases of ongoing chronic pain involving the nervous system and and digestive system dysfunctions. I work closely with various medical specialists to ensure patients obtain full recovery and their treatment plan is clear and tailored to them.
My techniques tend to be functional (using cranial and fascial techniques) and integrative bringing all the body's systems together to find the cause of a problem.
​
When not in the clinic you can find me snowboarding, rock climbing, paddle boarding or cultivating my vegetable garden.

Brita Graser
Originally from Austria, I trained at the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in the UK where I obtained my Master of Osteopathy.
During my studies I volunteered at the ESO’s women’s health clinic where I developed a special interest in women's health – including pregnancy and post-partum care. I completed a variety of post-graduate courses, with a special focus on visceral (organ) manipulation and the effects of organs on the musculoskeletal system. Jaw problems, neck pain, and headaches are also fields of great interest. I firmly believe in finding the source of the pain rather than just treating the symptoms in order to achieve long-lasting results.
I enjoy treating a wide range of people, using a variety of techniques from gentle fascial release, neural, cranial and visceral techniques, to structural adjustments and articulation in order to facilitate healing.
​
In my spare time I follow my biggest passion – hiking – with the determination to climb every mountain between Milford and Wanaka. On quieter days I practice yoga, mindfulness and meditation.

ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2025
​
Originally from a small town in the Manawatu, where I grew up playing a lot of sports, I became interested in the human body and rehabilitation, after experiencing my own sporting injuries during teenage years.
My Osteopathic career began with a strong focus on the sporting world, having had previous experience working with the Warriors and with a local Auckland premier league team supporting them through their injuries. I then diversified and focused my attention on pregnant and post-partum woman, and through this found a real passion working with infants, treating neck issues (favouring one side) postural strains and GI irritations.
In adult patients I see a lot of neck/upper back pain, along with headaches and shoulder dysfunctions.
I love the opportunity to make a connection with each patient and help them to return to daily life without pain and dysfunction. I am primarily a structural osteopath that utilises a logical approach to osteopathic care, and not only do I provide hands-on soft tissue treatment, but I also offer advice and education tailored to each person.
My partner and I have moved to Queenstown to experience the beautiful surroundings the South has to offer. We are keen hikers and hunters, and love spending most of our spare time outdoors.

Osteopath D.O. M.Ost.,
Available in Wanaka & Queenstown
Speaks English
Born and raised in the UK and graduated from Swansea University with a Master’s
degree in Osteopathy. I have spent the past 3 years working in New Zealand and recently made the move to beautiful Wanaka.
I have always had a passion for various sports from a young age, since attending university I found my love for Japanese and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and most recently CrossFit thanks to its variety of training styles and competitive nature. Whilst studying for my degree I gained experience working as part of the British Karate Federation Medical Team where I provided therapy to all abilities from children to adults and Olympic athletes.
I use a wide range of techniques, from joint manipulation to fascial unwinding. Through my
years of training, I have developed a key interest in the Osteopathic approach to anxiety,
Cranial Osteopathy and Sports Rehabilitation. I enjoy treating people of all ages, as well as athletes and children.
I am a strong believer of ‘practice what you preach. In my free time you will find me
exploring new ways of keep myself healthy; through yoga, contrast therapy and exploring
nature.

Oliver Edmonds
I grew up in Hong Kong and obtained my Masters in Osteopathy at Swansea University, UK. I take a structural-functional approach to treatment, generally using joint manipulation, soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisation and fascial release techniques. As a personal trainer, I also feel that guiding patients on how to manage their own symptoms through exercise outside of the clinic over the long term, is just as important as coming in for treatment.
I have a particular interest in the mechanics and physiology of breathing in how the movement of ribcage, spine and relevant musculatures are significant in contributing to healthy living – particularly in a largely seated, desk-based society.
Over the years I have worked with a wide range of people, of all ages and many walks of life, many of whom spend a lot of their time sat (be that at a desk, or even in the cab of a long-hauler), as well as those who are lucky enough to take spend their days on their feet, outdoors. I have also been fortunate enough to have worked with sports coaches and professional athletes - including New Zealand Warriors and Welsh National Rugby Squad players, PGA Tour Golfers and dancers of the Hong Kong Ballet Company. Being able to get to know and learn from such a variety of individuals is what gets me out of bed every morning.
Growing up, most of my energy went towards Karate, competitive swimming and being out on the water Sailing (and coaching) in Lasers and 29ers. In my spare time more recently I enjoy hiking out in the bush, skiing and climbing, but when I can’t get out of town, you’ll find me lifting weights, practicing some form of martial art or mastering my golf game.

Daniella Webb-Porto
Massage Therapist
Available in Queenstown
Speaks English
I am a passionate sports massage therapist with over 4 years of experience and a background as a personal trainer. I love helping people move, feel, and perform at their best. Whether you’re an athlete chasing peak performance or someone looking to enhance your everyday quality of life, I believe in tailoring my approach to suit your unique needs—because sports massage is beneficial for everyone.
I’ve always been fascinated by the body’s ability to adapt and heal, which is why I use my expertise in massage therapy to support longevity, injury prevention, and overall wellbeing. I work intuitively, focusing on the body as a whole—understanding that tension or discomfort in one area often stems from somewhere else. My aim is to help you recover, learn and feel empowered in your own body.
​
As someone who has competed in high-level sports myself, I know firsthand how important it is to look after both your body and mind. When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing volleyball, hiking, soaking up the sea air, or exploring the outdoors—I thrive on staying active and connected to nature.

Available in Queenstown
Speaks English
I am a Massage Therapist and Manual and Movement Therapist with an endless curiosity for holistic wellness.
Competing and coaching multiple sports from a young age, I became interested in biomechanics and movement analysis, which then led me into training as a Massage Therapist in 2012.
Over the years, I have layered many, many modalities and trainings into my practice— Myofascial Release, Visceral Manipulation, Pilates and Yoga being some of them.
I enjoy teaching a somatic style of movement for rehabilitation and body awareness, with a strong focus on the foundations of core control and breath mechanics.
It is my main passion, however, to work with the body through a hands-on soft tissue approach, I especially like to work with the nervous system to unravel chronic injuries, trauma, scar tissue, headaches/migraines, general injuries, and dysfunction from injuries or repetitive movements.
I also really enjoy holding space for deep relaxation and healing, which looks different for every body—and also for every system within the body—giving a deeply holistic and integrative approach to my treatments.
In my spare time, I like to be out of cell service on an adventure, moving my body, working on the land, and I’m always keen to learn something new!

I’m a passionate massage therapist trained to use various massage styles and techniques. Growing up competing in sports, I learned early on the importance of caring for both the body and the mind. I believe stress and tension should never be accepted as normal—this belief fuels my commitment to helping others unwind, release tension, and prioritise their well-being. From our very first session, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can relax deeply and restore both body and mind.

Dr. Nick Penney
I originally trained as an Osteopath at the British School of Osteopathy in the UK in 1980, practicing in the UK and New Zealand. In 1997 I was a member of the group that created the New Zealand Acute Low Back Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines. We were the first country in the world to recognise that what is going on in your life can have a dramatic impact on recovery from low back pain.
I went on to study the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to
our experience of pain and act as obstacles to recovery from pain, at The Centre of
National Research on Disability and Rehabilitation Medicine, at the University of Queensland and graduating with a PhD in Musculoskeletal Medicine in 2009. During
this time, I was also an expert panel member in the Australian evidence-based
clinical practice guidelines group.
2014-2021 I ran a multidisciplinary pain clinic in Auckland which consistently produced some of the best patient outcomes of any pain service across New Zealand and Australia.
Now in private practice, I divide my time between Queenstown and Christchurch, offering a bio-psycho-social approach to pain which includes several diagnostic tools and a range of techniques to manage acute, sub-acute and chronic pain.
I also teach mindfulness based cognitive therapy, a first line treatment for depression and chronic pain.
