Hi! We’re Dan & Ash..
We created this online course for Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, and other AHPRA-registered health professionals (4th and 5th-year students also welcome!).
Utilising our 30 years of combined experience, we provide practical, evidence-based tools to confidently support your patients through their pregnancy. Covering vital topics like in-depth case histories, red flag identification, and pathology screening, our course blends the latest research with clinical insights to prepare you for obstetric care.
With experience leading workshops across Australia and New Zealand, authoring for Osteopathy Australia, and serving on the Women’s Health Advisory Group, we’ve crafted this online course to offer a thorough, evidence-based approach to obstetric osteopathy.
