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 with everything from sports injuries and muscular-skeletal problems to more complex cases of ongoing chronic pain involving the nervous system and and internal organ disfunction. I work closely with various medical specialists to ensure patients obtain full recovery and their treatment plan is clear.
When not in the clinic you can find me snowboarding, rock climbing or out on the lake paddle boarding.

Bianca Coutts
I come from a family of health care practitioners so it was inevitable I would take a similar path. Osteopathy appealed to me because of the holistic, patient-centred approach that I saw.
My training consisted of five years of fulltime study at Unitec in Auckland, coming out of this with a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Master of Osteopathy.
In my clinical practice I see a large range of patients coming through the doors including athletes, school children, farmers and elderly.
I have a strong interest in sports and performance with a personal background in soccer, tennis and showjumping. I enjoy helping people get back up and running following injury and working with them to ensure prevention in the future.
I am always working to further my skills through attending courses and collaboration with both osteopaths and other health care professionals and specialists.

Osteopath MBA., M.Ost
Pelvic Health Therapist
Available in Queenstown
Speaks English, German, French & Lao
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, cranial and visceral techniques, to structural adjustments 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.

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.

Graduating from the European School of Osteopathy in 2002 and completing a Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2012, I have built a wealth of manual therapy experience. I work with a variety of patients from new born babies to the elderly using a wide range of treatment modalities including structural, functional, visceral and cranial osteopathy to suit every patient's unique needs. I am also qualified in Western Medical Acupuncture, postural stretching and kinesiotaping and incorporate these into my everyday practice.
Outside of the clinic, I have undertaken many years of martial art training and hold two black belts in Aikido and Kendo. I have a strong interest in functional movement in my daily training approach.
A resident in beautiful Aotearoa since 2013, I chose to settle in Wanaka where I can enjoy the mountains and pursue a ski guiding pathway, chasing powder as an assistant guide in snowcat and heliski operations.
I am fortunate to be very well travelled and as a result am fluent in a number of languages including English, French, Spanish and basic Japanese.

Speaks English
I am a British trained osteopath and I have been based in New Zealand for the last 7 years. My interest in osteopathy and healthcare was sparked from a young age as a competitive horse rider where, I had my own recovery journey from various falls!
Throughout my career I have worked with a range of patients including professional rugby teams and Cross-fit athletes. I have continued my learning with further study in Western Medical acupuncture and personal training/rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries.
My areas of interest include management of acute and chronic lower back and hip pain. I also enjoy working with pre/post surgical hip conditions & hip osteoarthritis. I take a holistic treatment approach to managing pain, and I strongly believe movement is medicine. I take my patients through a movement screen during treatment to guide me in the prescription of exercises and education to allow my patients to become more self sufficient in effectively managing their own health and wellbeing.
In my spare time, you can find me in the mountains! I love weightlifting, skiing, hiking, rock climbing, hockey and all things adventure.

I am a qualified Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner, and Tuina Massage Therapist. I have been living, training, and working in Auckland for the last 10 years and am excited to be now working in Wanaka.

I love working within the health and wellness industry, alongside the ethos of care and attention to those in the community. This is how I approach my role as a clinic manager, giving care and attention to the Wanaka team and their patients.
