Julie has been treating adults and children for 30 years. Having graduated in 1996, she immediately began her professional career as a clinician in private practice and as a lecturer in osteopathy at RMIT University where she stayed teaching students for over 20 years.
She is co-owner of Northcote Osteopathic Clinic, treating adults, children, babies, pregnant women, sporting injuries and the elderly. It is the diversity of general practice that keeps her happy.
Having 4 children of her own has helped Julie to understand the many problems that women can have in pregnancy and has helped develop her approach to treating babies, children and teenagers.
Alongside her clinical practice, Julie has made a significant contribution to osteopathic education. She is a former lecturer at both RMIT University and Victoria University and has taught and consulted internationally in India and Japan. Julie delivers professional development seminars for osteopaths across Australia through Joint Play Education, mentors students and graduates, and is the Chair of the RMIT Osteopathy Industry Advisory Committee.
Julie uses many different osteopathic techniques such as soft-tissue massage, joint mobilisation, manipulation, muscle energy technique, visceral and cranial osteopathy and believes in a patient centered, holistic approach to health care.
