DIRECTOR/OSTEOPATH
HELEN WRIGHT BSc(Hons)Ost(UK);PGDip(HlthErg)UK
ACC/NZ Registered Osteopath
My journey in osteopathy started in London and brought me to Auckland in 2001 and Pukekohe in 2004 when I established Osteopathy Pukekohe.
I enjoy an active lifestyle. I love my sports (road cycling, mountain biking, tramping, swimming), my garden and my 'down time'. I value the importance of optimum mind/body health. What motivates me in clinic is being part of the process that helps patients live life to the full and fulfil their dreams.
My osteopathic approach is firm, strong, gentle......versatile. I use a variety of techniques including a range of soft tissue techniques to release the muscles, the fascia and other soft tissues, spinal and joint manipulations (audible click) and the very gentle, non invasive cranio sacral techniques . Every treatment or management approach is tailored to suit the individual young (including babies) and old. It is not one treatment fits all but it is one treatment that addresses all.
I have attended and continue to attend development/training courses both here and in the UK. I spent 12 years on the clinic supervisory/teaching team at Unitec where most of our NZ osteopaths are trained. Through out my osteopathic career in NZ, and particularly through my time on the teaching staff at Unitec, I have become familiar with osteopaths graduating and venturing out to start their own osteopathic journey. I am now fortunate to have a cohesive strong team here at Osteopathy Pukekohe.

JANE McCULLOCH
BAPPSc (Human Biology); MOst (NZ)
ACC/NZ Registered Osteopath
I graduated with a degree in Health Sciences and Masters in Osteopathy. Prior to commencing my osteopathic studies I spent 10 years working in the field of sports and therapeutic massage, including working with local and international professional sports teams. As well as working in the clinic in Pukekohe I am also a clinic tutor/supervisor for the undergraduate osteopathy programme at Unitec.
My treatments are bespoke treatments designed to suit each individual and each circumstance. My approach can be strong when needed (soft tissue work and manipulation) or gentle (fascial work and cranial osteopathy). I treat all adults and children over 5 years of age.
When I'm not working I'm living life to the full. I am a bit of a foodie and love exploring new places to eat. I play squash and take pottery classes and I volunteer with an organisation called Pillars. I also love being amongst nature to ground myself in this busy world.

PAUL TWIGGS
DO (OSTEOPATHY) UK
ACC/NZ Registered Osteopath
I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1985 and subsequently practised and taught at the BSO 1986-1989. In 1993 I moved to New Zealand and set up a clinic in Mairangi Bay. I spent a number of years teaching on the undergraduate and post graduate osteopathy programme at Unitec, Auckland.I now juggle my osteopathic practice between Mairangi Bay and Pukekohe.
I incorporate a range of techniques into my treatment approach and include spinal/joint manipulation. My treatment approach can be firm/strong however every treatment is tailored to suit the individual and is adapted to be as gentle or firm as is deemed necessary/appropriate.
Outside of Osteopathy I love the finer things in life (food and wine).
