Ciao! I am Valentina! I graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in 2022 and went on to work in a private practice in London alongside passionate and supportive colleagues. Throughout my osteopathic journey so far, I have gained experience working with a wide range of patients, including adults and children, and have been exposed to a variety of treatment approaches, including structural, cranial, and visceral osteopathy.
As a practitioner, I aim to create a calm and supportive space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood, allowing treatment to be tailored to each individual and their specific needs. I am naturally people-oriented and motivated by personal growth, and I genuinely enjoy collaborating with like-minded practitioners within a holistic, inclusive, and patient-centred environment.
I treat a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back and neck pain, joint pain, postural issues, headaches, and general aches and pains, and I enjoy supporting patients at different stages of life. I also have a particular interest in movement, rehabilitation, and preventative care, helping patients better understand their bodies and build confidence in how they move.
Alongside osteopathy, I have a strong interest in yoga and movement-based therapies, and I enjoy exploring how osteopathic and yoga principles can be integrated to provide holistic, individualised support. This approach allows me to support not only pain relief, but also long-term wellbeing and resilience.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy staying active, travelling, cooking, DIY projects, and anything creative, and I love trying new things. These interests continue to shape my approach to osteopathy, supporting a balanced, curious, and open-minded way of working with patients.
Certifications & Courses
I have also completed multiple workshops and CPDs, including:
I don’t have a favourite as I love trying new foods, but homemade food always hits differently … especially when it’s made by my nonna!
I’m generally drawn to experiences rather than places, though beautiful nature and warm weather are definitely my ideal setting!
A good one that comes to mind is La vita è bella.
Wise and reassuring words from a dear friend: “There is no wrong decision.”
I find children incredibly inspiring. Their natural, unapologetic and unfiltered ways, their vitality, effortless presence, and instinctiveness remind me of what truly matters.
My journey so far, I feel that every small and big step has been essential, and I’m truly grateful for where I am today.
