Practitioners
David Birley
…David was born and raised in rural New Zealand – although most people can’t tell as he’s one without the classic “Fush & Chups” accent…
David has been practicing for 10 years, after completing:
1. Bachelor of Science (Majoring in Biochemistry & Physiology) at Massey University in New Zealand,
2. Bachelor of Science (Clinical Sciences) from Victoria University, Melbourne, and
3. Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) from Victoria University, Melbourne.
After completing the above, David established a combined Osteopathic practice & Pilates Studio in Tauranga, NZ (a town about 2/3rds the size of Geelong). After 6 years, David relocated to Geelong with Kate & his family, as Kate was homesick! (honest!)
Kate Wapling
…Kate was born & raised in Geelong, and after completing her Bachelor of Science (Clinical Sciences) from Victoria University, Melbourne, and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) from Victoria University, Melbourne.
Once Kate had completed the academic rigours she relocated to NZ and dived into the deep end of helping David run their new business.
After running countless Pilates classes, long hours, and looking after young children Kate (and David) relocated to their current location – and had somewhat of a “sea change”.
Life is now busy, yet less stressful, and extremely enjoyable thanks to everything Geelong has to offer!
