MEET THE TEAM

Osteopath

Lochlan is a registered osteopath who graduated from Southern Cross University with a Bachelor of Clinical Sciences and a Masters in Osteopathic Medicine. As an osteopath, Lochlan believes that each individual and their body brings with them a unique set of circumstances that must be understood in order to fully facilitate the healing processes of the body. He believes that it is important to create a safe and comfortable environment in which he can work with patients towards their various health-related goals.

Lochlan believes in the focus on patient education around the various mechanics and intricacies of the human body, and that by becoming more aware of these aspects one can foster a more positive mindset which can in turn have positive effects on the lived experience of patients. Lochlan considers himself a generalist with a structuralist approach and a growing interest in more indirect forms of treatment.

Ramona completed her Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy) and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University, working at a sports clinic and in the aged care sector in Melbourne before joining the team at HMC Osteopaths. Ramona founds her Osteopathic management on the principle that the body is an intricately designed creation and works to facilitate its natural healing mechanisms. She empowers clients through education on their body and a plan to achieve optimal state of being. Ramona is certified to use dry needling in addition to hands on therapy.

Having fascination in human movement and its therapeutic effect lead Ramona to become a Barre instructor as well as an APPI certified Matwork Pilates instructor which she integrates into client management to amplify long term changes for her clients. Her areas of greatest interest are women’s health including pregnancy, post-partum, and infant care, as well as clients with complex medical needs.

Outside clinical practice, you’ll find Ramona at the studio training as a semi-professional Brazilian Zouk, Bachata and Salsa dancer. She also loves sharing time with people and enjoying Nature’s creations. You can book an appointment with Ramona at the Gympie Clinic on Mondays and Tuesdays, or at the Verrierdale Clinic on Thursdays and Fridays.
