New Malden & London Osteopath
LAURIE’S APPROACH TO OSTEOPATHY
Laurie studied at the prestigious European School of Osteopathy, where he completed his Master’s degree and qualification in Osteopathy. He is a member of the General Osteopathic Council, ICAK-UK and NIMH.
Whilst still a student at the European School of Osteopathy, Laurie undertook additional training on weekends with ICAK-UK to refine his diagnostic skills. Laurie was the first osteopath in the UK to complete this post-graduate course while still an undergraduate.
For two years, he ran a student society that had the purpose of inviting guest lecturers to give talks to students. During this time, Laurie had a unique opportunity to network with some of the UK’s leading osteopaths and learn from their many years of experience.
Laurie combines osteopathic examination with advanced muscle testing to diagnose the root causes of problems. This guarantees that treatment is tailored to each patient’s particular needs. He uses structural, visceral and cranial techniques to help a wide range of patients – from babies to 90-year-olds; from dancers and models to rugby players, office workers, pregnant women and everyone in between.
Laurie works from a third-generation family-run practice in New Malden – serving the areas of New Malden, Kingston, Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Surbiton, Chessington, Hampton, Teddington, Sutton, Epsom, Ewell and Esher.
Laurie also works as an osteopath in Central London, in Marylebone.

LAURIE’S STORY
Laurie hails from a truly osteopathic background – his grandfather, uncle, and father were all leading osteopaths (and herbalists).
On top of this, some of the best osteopaths in the country were close family friends.
He considers himself privileged to have been so exposed to osteopathy, and it is this exposure that sparked his interest from a young age.
Laurie spent his childhood in the UK before moving to Germany during his teenage years. Before returning to England to become an osteopath, Laurie spent a year in India teaching as a volunteer in a village school.
Parallel to working full-time as an osteopath, Laurie is a part-time herbal medicine student since 2020.
When Laurie isn’t working or studying, he enjoys sailing, climbing, reading, and backpacking.
