Hamish Syrett - Osteopath
(BBS, BAppSc, MOst)
Hamish qualified from Unitec after completing the Bachelor of Applied Science and the post graduate Masters of Osteopathy. The Unitec course is five years long and involves a comprehensive education in anatomy, physiology, pathology and clinical skills as well as two years working in the student clinic treating patients. Since qualifying Hamish has worked in private clinics in Papakura and Howick before deciding to take over at Orewa Osteopathy early in 2008. In addition to his Osteopathic credentials Hamish is a qualified Pilates instructor. Hamish has experience in a wide variety of Osteopathic techniques including structural and cranial Osteopathy.
Hamish is passionate about his work and feels strongly about establishing the true cause for a patients problems rather than simply treating symptomatically. He feels that treating the body as a whole and looking at the "big picture" gives longer lasting results. Hamish has supplied two working examples of patients he has recently treated to illustrate how more distant factors in the body can affect tissues a long way away from an area of dysfunction.
Hamish is a registered to practice in New Zealand by the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand. For more details about the council and the requirements an Osteopath must meet in order to become registered please visit the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand online.

Jan Stein - Councellor and Hypnotherapist
(HNZCH)
Jan Stein comes from a financial and banking background, where she spent many years working with people assisting them to make decisions with their money. After being a bank manager for 10 years, she decided that she no longer wished to spend long hours working in an industry that no longer held a passion for her. After the birth of her children Jan and her husband purchased a small business which has now grown to be one of the largest total mobility transport operators in Auckland.
It was during this period that Jan began her in-depth journey of self discovery. During this period Jan has studied and practiced many modalities. Her philosophy is working with individuals in a holistic way - bringing wholeness to all areas of an individual's life - Mental, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual and Financial, with your own timing, rhythm and patterns.
"Each one of us has our own blueprint, one size does not fit all, and your soul, personality and life experiences create who you are."
Jan practices life coaching/counseling, hypnotherapy and reconnective healing at the clinic.
Please contact her on 027 4741932 if you require an appointment.
