Lily Cumming Osteopath

Lily (Olivia) Cumming DO MOst ND BSc(Hons) I am a qualified Osteopath with a diploma in Naturopathic medicine. I love exploring nature, food and health from all aspects and never stop learning and being inspired. I’ve worked with some amazing people in a world class yoga centre, gym, top teaching college in London, and in a family orientated chiropractic centre of excellence in Neuro-Impulse Protocol in Devon; allowing me to develop and integrate in-depth neurological and functional testing into my practice. To understand the body from an osteopathic point of view it is necessary to appreciate the intricate relationships of a multisystem organism that is much more than the sum of its parts!! My practice is centred around the fact that the body has an innate ability to sort itself out and express health! However, through the stresses, strains and traumas of life (whether they be physical, mental or chemical), this ability can become impaired. An osteopath is trained to identify the resultant physical imbalances and strains, get to the bottom of where they've come from and restore the body's ability to maintain itself in a state of health. Naturopathy provides the tools to optimise this process through natural lifestyle and dietary strategies. Natural health coaching is often a critical part of a journey to long term wellness as we live in a world that presents unique chemical, physical and mental challenges and demands on the body. Coupled with access to so much contradictory, complicated and manipulated information about what diet and lifestyle regime is right!, it is difficult to know how to make the best choices. Everything I’ve learnt has been the foundation for my intuitive approach and I have developed a unique style which draws on a combination of cranial, visceral, functional and gentle manipulation techniques according to each individuals needs. I will always endeavour to provide you the tools and information you need to feel confident on your journey to health! Treatment is a shared journey in which we discover what works best to help the body relax, re-align and channel its energy into keeping you well and comfortable within your context.
