CARRIE LENAGHAN
Carrie graduated from RMIT Melbourne in 2009 and began her career as an Osteopath working in the inner northern suburb of Brunswick. In those early days, Carrie enjoyed treating a variety of clientele, including people from different cultures and backgrounds. She even managed to learn a few Greek words.
But the desire to move back closer to her family and the town she grew up in saw Carrie move back home to Bendigo in 2012.
Since moving back Carrie has started a family of her own, with three energetic and sweet young girls and her husband.
Carrie loves her soccer, having played at an elite level in her late teens before sustaining a knee injury. This led her to follow her dreams of helping people to recover from injuries and to improve their health through Osteopathy.
Carrie also has a very strong passion for working with women and their partners on their journey into parenthood, educating them about all things pregnancy, birth and beyond. Carrie has formalised this passion by completing further study in childbirth education through Lamaze International and in pelvic health, with the Osteopathic Pelvic Health Institute.
