Marcus Walia BA (Hons); BSc (Hons) Ost; ND; BWY (Dip)
Marcus is a registered Osteopath, a qualified Naturopath and a Yoga teacher.

He draws upon his experience from a number of Western and Eastern physical therapy disciplines, traditional medical practices and mind-body exercise systems to provide an integrated and highly effective approach to his clinical work.

Marcus' interest in health and wellbeing started while studying and teaching Tae Kwon Do, a Korean martial art and Olympic sport. He then went on to study yoga and ayurveda in the UK and India and qualify with the British Wheel of Yoga as a teacher. Reoccurring sports injuries led to personal experience of physical therapy treatment and later to studying shiatsu and remedial massage. About the same time he decided to leave a successful career with an international news agency to retrain as an osteopath and naturopath. Marcus qualified with a degree in osteopathy and diploma in naturopathy and as part of his training also completed a four year assistantship with Osteopath and Naturopathic Physician Dr Michael Burt.

In addition to his clinical work Marcus also teaches yoga, runs health retreats and seminars and continues to develop his knowledge of integrated and holistic medicine.
