Rehana Kapadia
Rehana has been in Practice in north London since 2004.
Originally, a graduate of Cultural Studies and post-grad in History and Ancient Religious Philosophy from SOAS, she worked as an editor in book-publishing and as a theatre administrator.
Following the birth of her son, Rehana re-trained in Osteopathic Medicine & Naturopathy at the British College of Osteopathy & Naturopathy (now BCOM). A two-year MSc in Paediatric Osteopathy involved clinic training, at the Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC), with extensive experience in special care baby units, at the North Middlesex and Barnet Hospitals, working in pre- and post-natal care and treating babies presenting with feeding and sleep difficulties, through to complex developmental medical issues.
Rehana’s approach is sensitive and effective in the treatment of any age and range of health issues. The aim, often, is to relieve pain, but also to balance emotional health and work preventatively, to allow us to live in our bodies with ease. As was the original nature-cure development of osteopathy, Rehana is able to integrate her background in science, the arts, naturopathy and philosophy.
She continues to learn and refine her practical and perceptual skills with post-graduate biodynamic cranial phase training, as well as studies in attachment-based psychotherapy, to inform her practice. She has lectured as Clinic Tutor in the cranial approach, and guided final year undergraduate practicals, at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM).
As part of her personal commitment to social, race and health equity, Rehana has worked within the NHS, women’s refuges and children’s charities.
Rehana is registered with the statutory governing body, the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), member of the Institute of Osteopathy (iO), the Sutherland Cranial College (SCC) and an Alumni member of the Foundation of Paediatric Osteopathy (FPO).
