Meet The Team
 

Nina’s path to osteopathy began with a curiosity about the natural world and the human body. After studying biology and working in finance, she trained for five years at the British School of Osteopathy, then took further courses in cranial and paediatric osteopathy to offer a gentler approach alongside structural work.

For Nina, the best part of the job is the people. She enjoys taking the time to listen, understand the story behind each problem, and tailor treatment to the person in front of her — whether that’s a recent injury or the slow build-up of everyday strain.

Outside the clinic, Nina is a mum to two young children. That has given her a real understanding of how little time and energy busy parents have, so her advice is practical, non-judgemental, and designed to give the most benefit for the least effort.

Gabrielle grew up around osteopathy — her father was one of only a handful of osteopaths in Bristol in the 1960s and 70s. She graduated from the British School of Osteopathy as that year’s medal winner, then returned to Bristol to work with him and went on to build this practice with Martyn. Her Master’s research into the anatomy of the lower back still shapes her work. She has a special interest in long-standing or recurring back pain, often combining treatment with Pilates-based exercises.

Outside the clinic, Gabrielle enjoys home projects, sewing, gardening and exploring the countryside with her family.

Martyn has practised osteopathy for over 35 years. His first degree in psychology sparked a lifelong interest in how mind and body affect each other. After some years in market research, he trained at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine and later researched how osteopaths develop their sense of touch. He treats patients of all ages and has a particular interest in helping people stay well, not just recover from pain.

Outside the clinic, Martyn plays tennis, does circuit training and yoga, and plays saxophone in a quartet.

Patrick discovered osteopathy as a teenager, when treatment for his own back problems left him walking out pain-free. After careers in biochemistry and financial services, he trained at the London School of Osteopathy, qualifying in 2001. He enjoys working with long-standing and complicated problems, and values osteopathy’s focus on the whole body rather than just where it hurts.

Outside the clinic, Patrick practises Kung Fu, rides motorbikes and plays guitar.

Patrick has added ear wax removal to his services. 

Elly was drawn to osteopathy for its hands-on, non-invasive approach. She graduated from Swansea University in 2017 with an award for her dissertation, then worked across Somerset and Dorset before settling in Bristol. She has since trained in cranial osteopathy, which she combines with structural and soft tissue techniques, and she’s a firm believer that movement is medicine. Elly also treats animals, particularly horses and dogs.

Outside the clinic, she enjoys travelling, hiking, yoga, Pilates, running and time outdoors with her own dogs.
