Martina Garro

Martina grew up in Italy and pursued her education across two countries, studying at ICOM University in Italy before continuing at Kingston University in England. Her path into healthcare began early — her mother's career as a doctor gave Martina a close-up view of medicine from childhood, planting the seed of curiosity that would eventually lead her to Osteopathy.

What draws Martina to this field is a genuine fascination with how the human body works, paired with a strong desire to help people feel better. She sees Osteopathy as a way to create real, lasting change in her patients' lives. At the heart of her practice is a simple aim: every patient should leave feeling heard, cared for, and genuinely improved.

In her sessions, Martina draws on a broad toolkit of osteopathic techniques — ranging from gentle, subtle approaches like craniosacral and fascial therapy to firmer, more structural hands-on work. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, she adapts her treatment to suit each person, offering a holistic approach built around individual needs.

Mathilde Hervieux

Mathilde Hervieux is a French-trained osteopath who graduated in 2009. After gaining early clinical experience in France and Switzerland, she established her first practice in the French territory of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon in 2010, where she built a strong and loyal patient base.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Mathilde has since practised internationally, including in Montréal and Vancouver, Canada, working in both multidisciplinary clinics and private practice. This diverse professional background has shaped her holistic and adaptable approach to osteopathic care, grounded in an understanding of each patient's unique circumstances.

Mathilde has extensive experience in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions, including postural and biomechanical issues, sports injuries, and acute and chronic pain. She also has a particular interest in adolescent care, particularly musculoskeletal concerns associated with growth and development.

Her approach draws on a broad range of osteopathic techniques, with a particular emphasis on restoring mobility, promoting functional balance and supporting the body's natural ability to adapt. Guided by the osteopathic principle that structure and function are closely interconnected, she considers the body as a whole rather than focusing solely on isolated areas of discomfort.

Depending on clinical findings and individual needs, her treatments may incorporate General Osteopathic Treatment (GOT), joint mobilisation and manipulation (HVLA), soft tissue and myofascial techniques, deep tissue massage, cupping therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation, as well as gentle cranial, visceral and diaphragmatic techniques.

Mathilde welcomes patients across a wide range of ages and lifestyles, from children and adolescents to adults and seniors. Whether working with athletes, active individuals or those seeking to improve their mobility and everyday comfort, she adapts her care to each person's condition and goals.

At the heart of her practice is a patient-centred philosophy that values attentive listening, thoughtful treatment and a collaborative approach to musculoskeletal health and long-term wellbeing.
