What Osteopractice patients say

  • "Valeria is a star! She has been treating me for a few weeks now and has started the healing process in my body and given me the tools to help myself as well. I am very grateful - being over 70 - one begins to think that all is inevitably downhill! Valeria as a person is a very positive tonic and deals with the ‘whole’ person in a very holistic way. I cannot recommend her and her work highly enough."

  • "I just wanted to say thank you so much for our session yesterday. I feel the work done each time we met has been building together and allowed for significant pain relief of my back and more air capacity. All this is so much appreciated especially with my baby growing so fast and needing so much!”

  • "...I have been having weekly appointments with Ms Ferreira, and they have been the most helpful care I have received in the 5 years I have been seeking care for chronic pain, hypermobility and fibromyalgia. Her mixture of osteopathy and yoga, as well as the frequency of the sessions, has been essential to my wellbeing through my shielding period, as well as transformative for my wellbeing in general..."

  • "Valeria is a true osteopath and her treatment approach is rare to find. She has very practical and logical way of explaining what she thinks is going on, like reading a physical map that is uncannily accurate. It doesn’t feel like a passive treatment, you are quite actively engaged throughout which helps you to feel re engaged/embodied. You feel you have a better understanding and awareness of your body and effective short and long term relief after treatment. I have every confidence and trust in her and couldn’t recommend her highly enough."
