Meet Dr Stephanie
Stephanie grew up in the Macedon Ranges being an active member of the growing country community. She participated in a wide variety of sports for school & a number of community clubs; some even say she would give any sport a go, if it meant having a day off school!
Stephanie’s two main sporting passions are Netball & Basketball, playing at a high level in both sports, but it was Basketball where she excelled, travelling to America to play when she was sixteen.
Stephanie completed her Osteopathic education at RMIT University; graduating in 2016 with a double degree of Bachelor of Applied Science (Complementary Medicine) with Distinction and a Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy)
It was in Stephanie’s final year of university, where she began to develop an appreciation and strong passion for the field of Obstetric (ante/post natal) Osteopathy, mainly due to becoming an aunty for the first time in August of 2016. Being able to support her sister through her first pregnancy was the catalyst for journey into the field of female health and paediatric care.
With the benefit of time & experience Stephanie has been able to build on and enhance her her “skill set”. Stephanie gained immense satisfaction watching and assisting patients on their journey from starting and/or continuing to grow their family. So, it was only natural she progressed on to discover and develop a passion for the field of Paediatric, Juvenile & Adolescent Osteopathy.
