Our Staff

Amanda Viedma-Dodd is the principal osteopath. She graduated from Unitec in early 2006 with a Master of Osteopathy and Bachelor of Applied Science (Human Biology). Amanda joined the practice in June 2006 and spent almost a year working and learning alongside Cyrille Touffet (the founder of the clinic) until his return to France and her purchase of the practice in April 2007.

Amanda enjoys treating a wide variety of patients especially those for whom conventional treatment is limited. For example during pregnancy, when much of the pharmaceutical management of pain is unavailable, Osteopathy is ideal and extremely effective.

Amanda is currently on maternity leave. She intends to return to the clinic around 1 April 2010.

Amanda gave birth at home, as planned, to a gorgeous wee boy, Elias, on 15 January 2010. Amanda is doing very well at home. Elias's older sister Emily is overjoyed that she has a brother.

Nicholas Taylor completed his Master of Osteopathy at Unitec in Auckland. He moved to Christchurch and joined the practise at the beginning of April 2009. He is interested in all forms of osteopathic practise and is keen to develop them further within his own approaches to treatment.

Nick is keen on the outdoors, an avid rock climber, mountain biker and white water kayaker. As such he has an interest in treating sporting related problems but also likes to treat a range of people and help them maximise their health.

Nick's clinic hours are 9.00am till 5.00pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for general practice.

George McKenzie is the latest osteopath to join the practice and started at Barrington Osteopathic Clinic in July 2009. He graduated with a Master of Osteopathy from Unitec and is interested in general osteopathic practice.

He will be working part time at both the Barrington and the South Brighton clinics. George is at the Barrington clinic on Monday and Wednesday and is at the South Brighton clinic on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am until 4:45pm.
