Since graduating with a Masters of Osteopathy Rebecca has done intensive training with Matt Barrett and Maria de Roo in osteopathy in the cranial field. This one to one tutoring has provided Rebecca with an extensive background in osteopathy and a deeper appreciation of cranial osteopathy and has allowed her to gain from the experience of highly trained practitioners. She has also completed postgraduate training within the biodynamic cranial courses with Jim Jealous, Robin Seamer and Manuela de Rin for the last 8 years doing both cranial courses and paediatric courses. She is currently studying for a PhD with the Department of Paediatrics at Auckland University, conducting research into glue ear. She is also a member of the Osteopathic Society of New Zealand and registered with the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand.
Vikasini qualified in London (1992) and has been working in NZ since 1994, joining Health Within Osteopathy in 2002. She chose to specialise in cranial osteopathy while still a student because of its ability to bring about deep therapeutic changes to any condition - be it a sprained ankle, birth strains in mother or baby, post-surgical problems or the after-effects of a stroke, to give just a few examples. She enjoys treating all age groups and all conditions, and feels fortunate to work in a profession where each treatment is tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
