Meet Anjelica

Anjelica completed her Osteopathy degree in 2018 at RMIT University, and has since worked in a number of clinics throughout Melbourne and Brisbane. She is passionate about understanding how the body functions as an integrated system and helping people overcome pain and dysfunction to return to optimal health.

Anjelica enjoys treating all musculoskeletal presentations, with special interest in treating headaches and jaw pain. In her treatments, she uses various techniques including massage, muscle energy technique, joint mobilisation and manipulation, dry needling, and myofascial cupping. She has also completed additional training in both dry needling with electrostimulation, and biodynamics.

Throughout her university studies and practice as an osteopath, Anjelica has been fascinated by how natural remedies can be used to support Western medicine. To further explore her interests, she is currently studying Naturopathy at Endeavour College of Natural Health. She hopes to eventually practice both modalities in the future to provide greater holistic care to her patients.

Special interests:

• Headaches and migraines

• Jaw pain and TMJ disorders (including dry needling)

• Neck and shoulder tension
