Testimonials - What they say about us


Awesome Osteopaths! Nic realigned my back and neck. I felt instantly better, and it reduced the pain straight way. Highly recommend going to see Nic.

Mark, Builder

Treatment has been valuable. I am grateful at the support I've received in terms of breastfeeding. I feel that the treatments provided have been fantastic and I am impressed with the level of care from Felice.

Daphne, Recruitment Consultant (Baby Mila)

I’ve been coming to Nick for years. He is professional, approachable and has a great sense of humour. He never fails to find troublesome bits that I wasn’t even aware of, and I always leave feeling much better than when I arrived thanks to his holistic approach. If Nick was an Uber driver, I would give him 5 stars and a tip.

Jill, Ambulance Officer

Nick at Matakana Osteopath has been an absolute game-changer for me. After struggling with two slipped discs in my lower back, his expertise and guidance have been instrumental in restoring my mobility. Through regular visits and dedicated gym work, I've regained control over my body. Now, I only need maintenance visits occasionally. Highly recommend!

Gideon, Apprenticeship Provider

I have been receiving treatment from Nick at Matakana Osteo for the last 3 years partly for physical maintenance and the odd injury. I have been having Osteo treatment most of my life and have never found anyone as capable as Nick. His treatments always hit the spot and has the gift of healing hands, combined with an in-depth knowledge of the human body. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!

Simon, Pool Construction

I have been having treatment by nick for several years now. He is always very consistent with his approach and definitely gets results. He is honest and very open to different solutions to try to get the best outcome. I have recommended him to a number of my sporting friends and non-sporting) friends and will continue to do so.

Fiona, Squash Player

Magic hands, super results! I always feel a million times better when I get up off the table after Nick has worked on my body.

Mike, Jeweller

Nick has been a huge help over these past few sessions that I have had. He is extremely knowledgeable as he was able to quickly diagnose various injuries in different areas and apply treatment and solutions to help them heal.

Toby, Sales

Nick helped me when I was bed ridden with my back out. The combination of osteo, cupping and acupuncture works very well. I see now see Nick monthly to bi-monthly to maintain my builders back. He is the only osteo that I have had in my 20-year building career that can help with my back.

Alan, Builder

Outstanding treatment and exceptional value! I have never met someone who squeezes so much treatment into one session. Nick uses so many different approaches from cupping, massage to osteo stuff. Thanks!!

Bryn, Builder

The work Nick does is incredible, he absolutely changed my day-to-day life. I have been getting different types of therapies for 10-years, but nothing compares to the all-round care nick provides. He looks at the whole picture and really deeply cares about long lasting results. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Sarah, Pool Tech

Full holistic Guru! I suffer intermittent lower back pain trauma. Historically relief has necessitated 4 to 6 weeks of osteo / chiro / acupuncture / deep massage and physio. Then I found Nick, all disciplines in 3 sessions over 10 days. What a relief!

John, Real Estate

Nic is great! I have been going to him for over 5 years and he is always intuitive and insightful. His shared knowledge has taught me a lot and I really appreciate his trust and care.

Barb, Retired

I recently wrecked my knee. The pain was intense, and I could hardly walk. Nick quickly diagnosed my injury and gave me a combination of treatments including cupping, acupuncture, and the application of elastic K-Tape. This got me walking OK and then two subsequent visits dealt to the niggling pains that persisted. If you look up this injury on the dreaded internet it can tell you that this injury can take up to 6 months to heal if left without any treatment. Any powerful pain killers like ibuprofen knocks you around so this is much better by getting to the root cause of the problem. I can thoroughly recommend Nick in his pleasant and relaxing room in the heart of Matakana village.

Laurence, Healthcare Consultant

A visit to Matakana Osteopaths is well worth it for anyone looking to improve their wellbeing. Nick fixes me up every time and sends me on my way feeling great and happy. Highly recommend!

Mike, Company Director

Nick is very knowledgeable about the body and has managed to get further than anyone else I’ve seen for a locked-up shoulder that’s been stuck for 2 years! Highly recommended!!

Mike, Pool Tech

I originally began seeing Felice 4-years ago on moving to the area. She has a magical touch and I love her energy when working on me. Nick has helped me through a spinal injury using different techniques to aid my recovery and I’ve had awesome results thanks to their expertise. Felice and Nick are both so kind, professional, knowledgeable, super caring and always go above and beyond to help. I could not recommend them more highly, they’re amazing.

Shiree, Weaver

I find Nick to be knowledgeable, kind, gentle and very professional. A very caring practitioner of Osteopathy through his various qualified skills of cupping, acupuncture, and vibration therapy. He’s also very into exercising and stretching as a means of obtaining the best result for his clients. I thoroughly recommend his services.

Robin, Retired

I have been coming to Nick for about 10-years. He knows exactly what my back needs whether it is full manipulation when I have strained it, or just routine maintenance to keep me active. I tried other osteopaths when Nick moved from Auckland to Matakana, but none were as skilled

Al, Aircraft Engineer

Nick is very approachable and listens to his patients thoroughly before diagnosing. He can treat with osteo adjustments, acupuncture, and cupping. I recommend Nick for acute therapy as well as maintenance. Treated for plantar fasciitis.

Carol, Engineer

Nick is a miracle worker. He takes the time to carefully understand your history and fitness aspirations which combined with his integrated and thorough treatment approach has resulted in incredible results for me. Can’t recommend him enough

Michael, Finance

Nick seeks to understand the root problem and uses a holistic approach to rehabilitate and free you from pain. You always walk out feeling so much better. The view from his studio is also calm and dreamy. I highly recommend.

Gretchen, Director

I’ve been to see Nick now for quite a few sessions and have found his treatment to be greatly beneficial to my health and to be able to carry out my work pain free. Highly recommended.

Ant, Builder

I have been going to Nick for 15 years plus. His body work including visceral work, cupping, acupuncture and osteo are second to none. Better sleep, less pain and improved functionality.

Fiona, Registered Nurse

Fully integrated approach, great value. I have never been to someone who does so many things together, cupping, osteo, acupuncture, vibration, taping and so on. Love your work and thanks for fixing my neck.

Robbie, Electrician

The treatments we had with Felice were amazing and thorough. Coming to Felice has been one of the best and easiest decisions I've made for my son so far.

Courtney, Union Official (Baby Ashton)

Incredible! Nick is gifted, professional and thorough. I will probably never stop coming back and recommend him to anyone I know.

Carwyn, Film Caterer

Nick has been my Osteo for many years now. I have found Nick to be very professional, caring and understanding, and would recommend him should you need a great Osteo.

Loraine, Property Manager

Absolutely amazing! Felice worked on Harper only wanting to turn her head to one side, and her stomach pains. We were impressed with the guidance and advice provided! Really friendly people.

Sarah, Cabin Crew Manager (Baby Harper)

Fantastic! A high level of care was shown which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend!

Angela, ECE Teacher (Baby Vera)

I saw Nick late in 2018 for lower back, neck and leg pain. Also in 2019 for a foot issue. I found Nick to be kind, knowledgeable, intuitive and professional. I would highly recommend Nick for any Osteopathic bodywork.

Zarnya, Cake Crafter

As a builder, sometimes work leaves me a little crooked and broken. Nick gets me all lined up and feeling great again. Friendly and professional chap, great with his hands. Definitely recommend to anyone needing a tune up.

Jake, Builder

Excellent! Very gentle! Very happy with the care we received.

Katie, Administrator (Baby Olivia)

Fantastic. We found Felice to be caring, intuitive, and provided care well above what was required or expected. I would highly recommend her.

Christie, Solicitor / Mum (Baby Jacob)

Nick has been treating me since I was 5 months pregnant. I give him a 10/10 for his treatment as he is thorough with his assessment and always works the problem areas providing explanations along the way. Nick has restored my confidence in osteopaths and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I highly recommend Nick and the team.

Alyshia, Estate Agent

Nick knows exactly where the pain is and after his treatment I feel great again. I couldn’t do without him.

Madge, Retired

Felice was so kind, gentle and patient during our treatments. I would highly recommend her.

Rebecca, Mother (Baby Samuel)

Fantastic! We loved our treatments and coming here with our baby. Happy with all areas of our visits.

Dallas, Freight (Baby Perrie)

Treatment was great and to the right areas to fix the problem.

Jack, Builder & Sport Referee

Nick has a well developed skill and ability to pinpoint an area of my body which has become stressed and to realign it so that I gain ease of movement. He has helped me recognise patterns of use which put my body under stress, such as posture at the computer and how to counter it so that I am able to work more effectively without pain building up. Now when I realise my body is starting to get out of balance I book an appointment for a tune up. This means I am no longer injuring myself and can keep my body and energy functioning at a higher level. I enjoy his calm focus and high skill level and always leave an appointment feeling lighter and brighter.

Sharon, Eco Build Company Director

Excellent. Enjoyed our treatments with Felice! Would highly recommend!

Anne, Bank Officer (Baby Alina)

I am highly impressed with the level of professionalism and care I have received. I have been visiting Nick for many years with different problems and will continue to do so. Great job!

Stuart, Drain layer

The treatments were amazing. Felice was very clear with advice, and she was great with our baby.

Monique, Teacher (Baby Lucien)

Very thorough and we were well informed and had everything explained to us that was being carried out. Very happy.

Sam, Firefighter (Baby Ella)

Very professional and friendly. Nick was recommended to me, and I would recommend to others.

I have continued to see Nick because the combined Osteo and Acupuncture is a winning combination.
