Our team
We're proud of the team we've built here at Flow Osteopathy and the range of services we're able to provide to you.
We believe that good health starts with being truly listened to. Our team brings together a range of holistic therapies, but what unites us isn't just our range of skills – it's our shared commitment to treating every person as an individual, not a diagnosis.
Whether you're recovering from injury, navigating the physical and emotional journey of birth, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to move and feel better in your body, we take the time to understand your story and tailor our care around you.
Compassion sits at the heart of everything we do, and we're honoured to support our clients through every stage of their health and wellbeing journey.

Osteopath
Felicity Shea
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 has since qualified as an Infant Feeding Coach and Tongue Tie Assessor, and is a Recommended Practitioner Member of The Pelvic Partnership. 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!

Osteopath
Jacqui Ravensdale
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.

Osteopath
Gabrielle Jones
Gabrielle is passionate about helping people feel their best and welcomes patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors. She treats structurally, using hands-on techniques that are always tailored to the unique needs of the patient on that day. She has a special interest in pregnancy and babies and enjoys getting active patients back to the sports they enjoy.
Gabrielle continually educates herself to provide her patients with the latest findings in the osteopathic sphere. She has done additional training in paediatrics, visceral osteopathy and fascial work.
After growing up and working as an osteopath in New Zealand, Gabrielle recently moved to the UK to practice osteopathy somewhere new. Gabrielle has a Bachelor of Musculoskeletal Health and a Postgraduate Diploma in Osteopathy from Ara Institute of Canterbury in NZ. Gabrielle is a registered osteopath with GOSC.
Gabrielle has always been interested in health and movement, previously training in dance – ballet, ballroom, contemporary and recently salsa dancing. Gabrielle’s main love, skiing, took her to ski fields in NZ, Japan and the USA as a ski instructor before becoming an osteopath. In her spare time, you will find her outside, up a mountain skiing, surfing Yorkshire’s beaches, hiking or biking.

Birth trauma practitioner
Roz Fox-Bentley
Roz is a Birth Trauma Resolution® Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist. She started on this journey after more than a decade as a midwife in the NHS. By seeing her friend go through her own very difficult birth recovery, which was eventually recognised as PTSD, it started Roz on a path to support people recovering from their own birth trauma.
Supporting women has always been a particular interest, midwife means ‘with woman’ after all. By using her BTR® training she has supported people with PTSD and birth trauma from their birthing and postnatal experience, as well as supporting birth partners, and maternity staff. This can include a birth ‘debrief’, where you can talk about your experience in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
By qualifying as a clinical hypnotherapist it means she can support a wider range of people, with a wider range of issues. It is based in modern neuroscience, and uses trance as well as techniques drawn from other disciplines, such as solution-focused brief therapy, CBT, mindfulness. This can include helping with depression, anxiety, stress, chronic pain, weight management, smoking and vaping cessation, IBS, phobias. Her own experience with hypnotherapy has improved her sleep, confidence, mood, and general sense of well-being.
