Jessica Weatherall - Osteopath
Jess, the founder of Bairnsdale Osteopathy, is born and bred in East Gippsland, having grown up in Orbost and completing high school at Nagle College in Bairnsdale. After 16 years away to study, work, travel and gather many life experiences, she decided it was time to come home, and has been settled here again since 2015.
She graduated from Osteopathy at RMIT in 2004 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Clinical Science) and a Bachelor of Osteopathic Science. Since graduating, Jess has worked as an Osteopath in New Zealand, Scotland and Melbourne, and then since 2015 has been back in East Gippsland. She spent ten years scurrying for as much information as she could squeeze in, dying to learn more and further her skills, travelling to the USA and Europe to study with Osteopaths she has grown to respect and admire highly.
Jess has three kids and is in the phase of her life of school runs and afternoon activities, and is constantly trying to find the perfect balance between work and family, feeling fulfilled on both levels. Her passion for Osteopathy is still as strong and she is constantly trying to squeeze in new courses or teaching opportunities. She has an ongoing desire to learn, study, share osteopathy, through courses, study groups, reading, and practice.
She feels that going hand in hand with my passion for osteopathy is her passion for the outdoors and nature. The more time spent in the quiet but powerful spaces of the ocean, bush, mountains or desert, the easier it is to understand the importance of the natural laws in relationship to one’s own Health.
Jess is here to offer a genuine contribution to one's journey towards health and healing. She holds a particular interest in paediatric care, supporting women through pregnancy, and interweaving emotional, nervous system and spiritual support into her treatments. She is up for a chat about cooking, gardening, camping, four wheel driving, sailing, your baby, my babies, and probably a lot of other either very serious or very ridiculous topics in between.

Eva Morgan - Osteopath
Eva grew up in country Victoria and has recently returned south after spending a decade living in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. During her time there, she completed a Bachelor of Clinical Science and a Master of Osteopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University in Lismore.
​
Since graduating, Eva has continued to expand her skills and knowledge, with a an interest in supporting people of all ages, from infants and babies through to adults, to move toward their own health and wellbeing goals. She is drawn to osteopathy for its whole-body approach, its understanding that the body functions as an interconnected system, and the way small, thoughtful changes can have a profound impact on health.
​
Eva’s path into osteopathy wasn’t driven by a single defining moment, but rather a quiet sense of recognition. After first coming across a description of the profession, something about it simply felt right. The philosophy resonated, that everything in the body works together as a unit, and that supporting one part can influence the whole. That initial curiosity grew into a deep appreciation for a practice that helps people regain function and live well.
​
Before being drawn to osteopathy, Eva spent several years living and working overseas throughout Africa, Asia and Europe. These experiences nurtured a love of the natural world, an appreciation for diverse cultures and ways of living, and an ongoing curiosity about health and healing across different traditions. Along the way, she developed a love for cooking, creative arts and crafts, and spending time immersed in nature, interests that continue to inform how she sees health as something lived, embodied and deeply individual.
​
Eva values the uniqueness of each person and their health journey, and brings a thoughtful, open and grounded presence to her work. She is passionate about supporting people to feel good and function well in their bodies, so they can fully engage in the lives they wish to live.
