Our Team
Felicity Avery
Osteopath
Felicity graduated from the College of Osteopaths in the summer of 2021. Having two children and the pandemic within that time of study gave Felicity a new perspective on just how incredible the body is with functioning through stressful times.
Throughout her training, she developed a passion for Women’s health including pregnancy and paediatrics. She particularly enjoys treating patients who have struggled with pain with no diagnosis or effective treatment from other healthcare providers; regardless of the pain location.
Her passion for osteopathy stemmed from experiencing treatment herself. At 18 she sustained a severe injury to her leg following being kicked by a horse. After the NHS hamster wheel had spun for 6 months she was left with no option but to walk with a stick forever more and live with pain. She was introduced by a friend to an osteopath; that introduction changed her life.
Her philosophy with treatment of patients is a partnership; working together to restore health. “Every treatment is individual to you, the patient, inclusive of your past medical history, your current mental and physical health, also your goals and expectations for moving forwards.
Whilst she can’t promise you miracles, she can show you osteopathy which is frequently compared to being the same thing!
Jacqui Ravensdale
Osteopath
Jacqui is originally from the local area but at 18 decided to move to London where she has spent the past 15 years. After graduating from the University College of Osteopathy she has decided to return home to the north where she looks forward to using her skills not only as an osteopath but rehabilitation from her personal training career down south.
Exercise and movement have always been a priority and passion for Jacqui, which is why it is her priority to get you back moving with ease. Jacqui has been heavily involved in recovering Elite athletes at the University of Westminster, where she treated many students with backgrounds in - Basketball, Lacrosse, Taekwondo, Boxing, Cheerleading and Volleyball, to name a few.
As much as Jacqui enjoys working with people with a sports background, she also enjoys helping a whole variety of people and ages, which is why, in 2022, she launched her business, BareBones Therapy, where her ethos is to get to the bare bones of an issue you might be experiencing and leave after treatment with a better understanding of what might be going on.
Her first encounter with osteopathy was on her massage course, where she was lectured by an osteopath, or in her own words, “a wizard”, who inspired her to start her journey into becoming an osteopath. Jacqui is eager to keep up to date with new research to understand how she can best help you.
Outside of osteopathy, you will find Jacqui out exploring all the independent coffee shops - she’s a caffeine addict, taking adventures into the beautiful countryside or on the gym floor lifting heavy things and working towards her hyrox competition.
