He also successfully completed his Masters in Osteopathic Medicine.

Prior to this Anthony lived, worked and travelled throughout Europe for over 13 years. Whilst in the UK he worked extensively as a live-in carer for both Oxford Aunts and Consultus agencies where he cared for elderly people in varying stages of incapacitation, ranging from those who simply struggled to live alone anymore, to those who were suffering advanced forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Anthony left the UK and moved to Zurich, Switzerland where he spent 7 years studying advanced bodywork at The Centre – The European Institute of Esalen Massage under the tutelage of some of the great teachers from the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California such as Currie Prescott and Ray Swartley, who had studied under some of the greats such as Ida Rolf, Milton Trager, Moshe Feldenkrais, Fritz Perls and others. Anthony was fortunate enough during this time in Switzerland to be given the privileged opportunity to be taken under the personal mentorship of the senior, advanced lecturer at The Centre, Meinrad Binder.

During his time in Switzerland he worked as a qualified and registered advanced Esalen practitioner in his own successful clinic in Seefeld, Zurich. Anthony also worked as an assistant teacher at The Centre in various courses ranging from basic training to advanced courses.

Anthony was initially drawn to Osteopathy due to its seemingly natural progression and unison in philosophies to that of Esalen bodywork. Both modalities offer sensitive and responsive approaches to each person in each individual session. Both Osteopathy and Esalen bodywork inextricably interact, integrate and link the body, mind and spirit with its holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Both styles also offer nurturing contact and the integration of technique that helps initiate and augment the healing process with detailed attention to the whole. Anthony is excited to focus on empowering each individual patient to awaken their innate ability for harmony, balance and self-healing through this vocation.

Originally from Western Australia, Anthony developed a deep appreciation of the Northern Rivers community, its people, energy and beauty during his time there studying Osteopathy. Coming to Canberra to join the Canberra Osteopathic Centre is not only a great opportunity to join a dynamic clinic with dedicated colleagues but also brings him closer to family who are now living in Canberra.

He is passionate about the power that bodywork has on the mind, body and Spirit and feels privileged to get the opportunity to work in the Canberra Osteopathic Centre where he will continue to learn from his colleagues and patients, who are indeed the true teachers of any osteopath
