About Me
I know what it's like to heal from trauma, debilitating illness and pain. I will not settle with limitation. I know there is another way. I take this approach into my practice.My Skills
I started on this journey as a response to my own pain, and I never thought I’d find the answers that I have found. After years of international study with world renowned osteopaths, named by Times Magazine as “Healing Innovators to watch in the New Millennium”, J.P Barral and John Upledger, as well as Bruno Chikly and Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, I have:
- Reversed asthma in a life-time sufferer; From 1 puffer a day to none.
- Helped a paralyzed dog walk again.
- Helped a little girl heal a broken arm in 9 days,
- Helped an unborn child let go of his fear of being born in the birthing unit.
- Facilitated natural Hernia repairs.
- Reversed infertility
- Helped a 90 year old get off her blood pressure pills, kick away her cane, confound her heart doctor.
- Helped turn around a breached baby
- And much more

"It worked. Aviva has a special skill." Danielle Presentey, Professional
I highly recommend Aviva as her skills and knowledge are far beyond most practitioners. I know this as I have firsthand knowledge of her practice, not only as a patient, but in treating as a physiotherapist with osteopathic techniques. My first treatments with Aviva were regarding breathing and sickness issues for which doctors had diagnosed as asthma and chronic bronchitis. My symptoms were worsening every year yet at our fourth treatment I noticed a breakthrough and I have maintained great improvements since with the odd treatment session as needed. I have also started to see Aviva for digestive issues which are coming along with treatments and dietary changes. Aviva is simply ... beyond!
