Your Osteopath at Coast Osteopathy - Koa Louise Thompson

I am the founding owner and sole practitioner at Coast Osteopathy. I am registered with the OCNZ and am a member of Osteopaths New Zealand.
I am an ACC service provider.
I have worked in this profession since 1992 providing hands on structural and cranial osteopathic healthcare.
I originally trained in New Zealand qualifying in 1990, and later completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Osteopathy at RMIT University, Melbourne. I have several certifications from the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation of Australia and NZ, including those specific to pediatric care.
My registration and certification allows me to provide osteopathic services throughout New Zealand and Australia.
Coast Osteopathy now comprises 2 clinics – the original based for over 30 years in Whangaparaoa and a more recent addition in Warkworth. In this time I have developed a great local reputation for providing a professional osteopathic service, along with strong working relationships with local medical and allied health practices and services.
At Coast Osteopathy I have a special interest in family healthcare, including the treatment of infants and children, and improving mothers’ comfort and health in pregnancy. I believe that safe gentle hands on osteopathic procedures help women maintain optimal function throughout their pregnancy, while ensuring baby’s healthy growth and development.
Beyond provision of Osteopathic Healthcare on the Hibiscus Coast and in Warkworth, I am a mother to a now teenaged daughter and enjoy a rural life just south of Warkworth.
I love to relax near, on or in the ocean, enjoying sailing, diving and kayaking and have a passion for contemporary dance. We are all so lucky to live in this beautiful country, and I am very thankful to be part of this great community.
