Sue Jennings, BSc (Hons), DO
Osteopath
Sue lives locally to the practice in Lordswood, Chatham and is the owner of the practice. After graduating from the European School of Osteopathy, Sue opened the Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic in 2010 and also began working at the European School of Osteopathy.
At this school Sue was part of the examination team who assess the osteopathic students prior to their graduation as osteopaths.
Sue is particularly interested in clinical neurology which is the assessment of the nervous system of the body and feels that this is a very important part of osteopathy. Sue is greatly interested in how neurological problems affect people in their everyday lives and is passionate about helping to resolve these difficulties with both her treatment and the rehab exercises that she prescribes.
Within her treatment, Sue uses a variety of techniques designed to suit each individual and prides herself on tailoring her treatment and rehab packages to each patient's personal and specific requirement.
Naomi Bond-Deacon M.Ost
Osteopath, Modern Acupuncture Needling, Women's Pelvic Health
Naomi Graduated from the European School of Osteopathy with a Masters degree in Osteopathy and experience in treating patients of all ages and backgrounds.
Growing up in France with British parents, Naomi dreamed of living in the UK. As a teenager she shadowed her osteopath – and was inspired to care for all who might benefit from treatment, including during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood.
This has inspired her to seek further post-graduate training in order to also offer medical acupuncture (dry needling) as well as women's pelvic health assessments (also known as Mummy MOT®️).
With over a decade of ballet dancing under her belt, Naomi understands the importance of listening to the body, and of taking the time to heal properly. And becoming a mum has also allowed her to relate with and better appreciate the benefits osteoapthy can offer to both mother and child.
Simone Baldrich M.Ost.
Osteopath, Modern Acupuncture Needling
Simone's journey of Osteopathy started in 2019, working primarily with a structural approach while integrating visceral and cranial techniques in her practice. Her work also includes scar therapy, kinesiology taping, and western medical acupuncture to support clients in a well-rounded way. The body works as a whole and therefore needs to be treated in a balance of such.
She treats individuals from teenage years onwards, with a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection as a foundation for holistic care. Alongside her clinical work, she has completed a Level 3 qualification in counselling studies and is about to begin Level 4, deepening her understanding of emotional wellbeing.
Outside of practice, Simone volunteers with the Samaritans and fosters rescue cats and loves to travel around the world.
