Jon Henderson
Jon has over 30 years experience in osteopathy. He has seen many children and babies with many different health problems. He has found great merit in the subtle technique of cranial osteopathy, for not only the very young but the elderly as well. Jon did his 4 year Diploma of Osteopathy in Australia and sat the NSW State Registration exam for Osteopaths and Chiropractors to become an osteopath in 1984. He worked for a year in Sydney and there met his future wife, Kirstine, who came from Tauranga. On returning to NZ while working in a Tauranga clinic, he was introduced to the cranial concept of osteopathy. Since then he has completed numerous post graduate courses in cranial osteopathy in Australia, the US, and NZ, under the guidance of the SCTF (Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation), which is accredited by the AOA, (American Osteopathic Association). Over the years it has been a continual pathway of growth in this field to where he is currently. Jon has three children and a recent new grandchild. His interests include yoga, swimming, biking and fishing and when not in the office he can be found enjoying the beauty of the ocean and nature or at home having a meal which include ingredients from his own garden or eggs from home grown free range hens.
