Dr Angela Lui (Osteopath)
Qualifications
B.H.Sci / B. App.Sci (Osteopathy)
Member of Osteopathy Australia
Angela graduated from RMIT University in 2023. During her final year of studies, she completed observations at Healesville Osteopathy and was enamoured by the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the clinic, the friendliness of the locals, and the mesmerising landscapes. This made her keen to join the Healesville Osteo team, and we were equally excited to have her!
Angela is a caring and friendly practitioner with a passion for helping others. She traces this passion back to her childhood, influenced by her mother's role as a Chinese medicine doctor. Witnessing the profound impact of hands-on treatments on people's lives fueled Angela's ambition to become an Allied Health practitioner.
Angela's interests in osteopathy are diverse, spanning from sports and spinal injuries to cranial osteopathy and indirect techniques. She is dedicated to furthering her expertise in these areas through ongoing education and training as she advances in her career.
Angela has attained a certificate in level 1 myofascial dry needling and cupping and has also been actively involved as a sports trainer at local footy clubs and sporting events.
In her leisure time, Angela enjoys crocheting plushies, sketching, gardening or spending time with friends and family at a local cafe.
