Our osteopaths

Lesley heads up the team at Nutley Lane. She qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 1995, and brought Nutley Lane Osteopaths to its current building in 2000.

Lesley is passionate about osteopathy and the benefits it can bring to patients. She has done extensive post-graduate training with the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy (SCCO), where she is now a trustee, tutor and lecturer. The SCCO is a post-graduate college providing further practical and academic training for Osteopaths in the cranial field and is recognised as the leading provider for this in the UK, Germany and Spain.

Lesley is dedicated to all aspects of clinical practice and is proud of the true family nature of the practice at Nutley Lane. Lesley believes that for the profession to move forward into the future, senior members of the profession must support their junior colleagues in their early years of practice life. This has lead to being able to attract high quality osteopaths to work in the practice at Nutley Lane.

Frank began his career as a massage therapist in 2013. He then pursued further studies, graduating with a Master’s degree from the University College of Osteopathy London in 2021. He uses Osteopathy to restore balance in people’s lives, promoting the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Frank combines structural and cranial techniques in his osteopathic practice to personalize treatment for each client. He treats a wide variety of people of all ages and has developed a special interest in postgraduate paediatrics and trauma, where he continues to specialize. Recognizing the critical importance of the early postnatal period, Frank also works at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London. Here, he provides osteopathic care and support to families through this often challenging transitional phase, treating newborn babies, pregnant and postpartum mothers, and children.

In his free time, Frank enjoys spending time in nature, walking outdoors, and embracing a mindful lifestyle.

Lucy attained her masters degree in Osteopathy at the University College of Osteopathy and also holds a level 3 ITEC qualification in Sports Massage. Having been a long-standing patient of Nutley Lane, she was delighted to join the practice as an associate osteopath in 2021.

As a mother of 4, Lucy has experienced the benefits of osteopathy for all ages of children, and has a keen interest in supporting mothers pre and post-partum. She has undertaken post-graduate training with the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy and the Rollin Becker Institute, which allows her to combine cranial osteopathy approaches with her structural skills. Lucy believes that osteopathy is a continuous and fascinating journey, where you learn from fellow osteopaths and every patient encounter. She plans to further develop her skills in paediatric osteopathy with the Osteopathic Children’s Centre.
