Hi, I'm Dr Rosalba Courtney.
Welcome to my website.
It contains information about my clinic, The Breath and Body Osteopathic and Natural Health Clinic.
It also provides information on the breathing therapy programs I run for practitioners, adults and children.
In case you dont know me already I've been an Osteopath and practitioner of holistic and integrated medicine for over 30 years. Im also a specialist in breathing therapy and have done extensive research, writing and teaching on this subject.
I am a strong believer that the most effective therapy combines solid scientific evidence with the art of healing and pays attention to the fundamentals. My patients tend to be the sort of people who are motivated to learn about how to best help themselves but who also want help and guidance from an expert they can trust.
At the Breath and Body Clinic I most commonly assist people with muscular-skeletal dysfunction, pain and injury, chronic health conditions, stress related disorders and various types of breathing problems. I also work with children and babies using Osteopathy, Nutrition and Breathing Therapy . You can read more about the conditions I treat here.
Treatment is individualised and can be a combination of any of the following therapies-
Osteopathy Acupuncture Nutrition Herbal medicine Breathing therapy
Individual and small group Breathing Therapy and Wellness programs are held at the Breath and Body Clinic in Avalon and also at other locations at various times during the year.
For those who cant attend any of these programs there are some products and resources available through this website.
If you are a health professional or academic you can access Dr. Courtney’s scientific presentations and publications here.

Dr. Courtney is also available for public lectures, professional training and media events.
