Meet your Osteopaths
Say hello to the hands on therapists at Osteos of Noosa. Where your needs, health and happiness is at the heart of everything we do.
Dr Mia Antonopoulos
Osteopath | Clinical Pilates
Hey, I’m Mia. I was first introduced to Osteopathy at the age of 14, when I had an injury that had forced me out of many of my beloved sports. I was at risk of being forced to stop rowing, the only sport I had left and mum suggested I try seeing an Osteopath. During my treatments, my Osteo always made sure I understood what was causing my pain, and how I could help to manage it. It was the first time I felt empowered to manage my injury and take part in my own treatment. I now truly believe that a patient’s understanding is one of the biggest factors to their management and rehabilitation. That is why I always make sure my patients understand the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their complaints.
Although I have a strong background in all things sports, I love to treat people of all walks of life. Whether it’s an acute injury, chronic condition, or the cheeky flare up from doing something you knew you shouldn’t have done, I’ll help you understand and manage your condition.
I have been lucky in my career to work with a wide range of athletes, from AFLW and VFL/W footballers, rowers, triathletes, runners, soccer players, ballet dancers and everything in between. This variety of athletes has kept me on my toes, and always has me looking into the best and most effective treatment techniques.
If I’m not in the clinic, you will find me in the gym, walking along the beach, at the pub ordering a parma (I can’t bring myself to call it a parmi just yet), or adventuring around in my car, Pumba, discovering everything Queensland has to offer.
Dr Chelsea Mill
Osteopath | Clinical Pilates
Hey, I’m Chelsea. I am a lover of all things health and wellness with a holistic viewpoint. This is what drew me to Osteopathy as it allows me to help others find their balance, improve their health and inspire them to do the things the most love to do. I love discovering ways I can work with my patients to help them achieve their health and wellness goals in ways that is individually suited to them. I love balance. Balance to me means finding the perfect equilibrium of feeling good within all elements of health; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, intellectual. I am passionate about helping my patients find their version of perfect balance.
I am passionate about all things women’s health. From nurturing, educating and preparing mumma’s through pregnancy and the post-partum journey, to the hard working mums or career focused women managing headaches, neck and jaw tension from sitting at the desk or built-up stress from this crazy thing we call life.
My patients often describe me as a friendly face and a warm presence where they feel supported to build and work towards new goals. You will leave my treatment space feeling heard, supported, and have a clear path and direction towards your better you.
Outside of our beautiful clinic space, you will find me spending time with my very special kelpie x border collie Ruby, practising yoga, Pilates or learning to surf and celebrating hard when I get on the perfect wave, exploring new places around the sunny coast, or reading my book in the morning sun with a coffee in hand.
Dr Chris Bell
Founder | Osteopath
Gday, I’m Chris. I was drawn to a career in healthcare initially because I was always fascinated by the interconnected nature of the human body and its resilience and adaptability. I chose a career in Osteopathy because it considers all systems of the body with its holistic approach to treatment and individualised patient care. I love what I do because I get to problem solve, chat to people all day and no two treatments are the same. I played a lot of sport growing up and as such had my fair share of injuries so I got to witness first-hand the impact Osteopathy can have in the treatment of acute and chronic pain.
During an Osteopathic placement at a hospital in India, I found huge satisfaction in helping people return to doing the things they love and improving their quality of life. This was the moment I fell in love with my profession.
For the last four years I’ve been travelling Australia taking healthcare to people in some of the most remote corners of the country. I love hearing people’s stories, learning from them and helping them with their aches and pain.
Outside the clinic you will find me teaching my son Louie all about nature, surfing, riding, walking our dog Ralph, gardening or planning our next weekend camping trip.
Dr Amy Farrawell
Osteopath
Hey, I’m Amy. From a young age I was fascinated by the human body and how our movements integrate with our environments and interests in life. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health and wellbeing, assisting you to be the best version of yourself.
I love working with clients from all age groups and have a passion for treating chronic and long standing pain. Working with you to increase your everyday capacity in a way that means most to you, whether its being able to pick up your grandkids again, run that marathon, or get back to your favourite sport - your goal is mine. By working together we can find the treatments and rehabilitation strategies that work best for you to get you back doing what you love.
I have a background in allied health assistance where I worked in implementing rehab programs for older adults and kids with special needs; along with being a sports trainer for a high division AFL club in Victoria. I have worked extensively with strength and conditioning coaches, other allied health professionals and players to not only return to sport but prevent future injury.
Outside the clinic you will find me at the gym, on a run, at the local nursery spending my life savings on plants or attempting to learn to surf.
Dr Amanda Bell
Founder | Osteopath | Clinical Pilates
Hey, I am Mandy. I fell in love with the human body and how amazing its capabilities are through dance, specifically ballet. The combination of strength and flexibility to achieve such beautiful lines, poses and forms turning the body into art blew me away and I knew I wanted to learn more. I believe every person deserves the right to be able to move, function and thrive in their own body. I love being able to assist people through my hands on treatment skills, clinical pilates rehab and providing an open space for people to be really heard. I believe it is this combination that allows me to mobilise, strengthen and empower my clients to function at their highest potential.
I love helping people at any stage of their life with whatever is going on, whether it be recovering from an injury, navigating pregnancy or just feeling like something isn’t quite right. I am so proud to be an Osteopath as it enables me to find the root cause of peoples problems and am equipped with a wide variety of treatment techniques to choose from to create a unique treatment approach to anyone who walks in my door.
If I am not in the clinic you will find me taking my son Louie and pooch Ralph for long walks on the beach, sewing or DIYing at home, working on bettering our business, hosting social events or watching Friends.
