Kia Ora! My name is Kseniya and I am an osteopath, specialising in babies’ health. I grew up in Siberia, Russia, spent several years in England, and now I am blessed to call Taranaki my home.

My journey into paediatric osteopathy is unique, grounded in a deep understanding of the human body from my previous career as a surgeon. While I now practice exclusively as an osteopath in New Zealand (registered with the OCNZ), this strong medical foundation continues to guide my professional, empathic, and compassionate care.

I developed my osteopathic skills in England, graduating with a Master of Osteopathy with First Class Honours in 2020. Since moving to New Zealand, my continuing professional development has been dedicated to children’s health, with a special interest in treating babies.

I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your child’s care. My approach is shaped by the depth of my medical training and the holistic and integrative principles of osteopathy. My goal is always to create a calm, safe space where both you and your child feel supported.

My Practice

  • Focus: Paediatric osteopathy, with a special interest in babies

  • Locations: Home-based clinic in Warea, and home visits throughout Taranaki

  • Accreditation: Registered with OCNZ and GOsC (UK), ACC-accredited provider

  • Community Contribution: Supporting children and families through volunteer work with the Osteopathic Children Foundation in Hamilton and Wellington

I find balance and joy in the land and sea of Aotearoa - surfing her waves, hiking her mountains, and embracing the incredible natural environment that surrounds us.
