Since 2004, Osteopathic Studies has been a space devoted to exploring the essence, principles, and lineage of osteopathy.

Through courses, dialogue, and shared inquiry, Robyn Seamer and Manuela Da Rin explored through their courses and in clinic with patients, the oral lineage of osteopathic principles, the natural skills of communicating with the inherent Intelligence that guides the therapeutic process in osteopathic practice.

Following years of postgraduate teaching and a long-standing faculty involvement with the Biodynamic Phases of Dr. James Jealous since 2003, a new curriculum naturally emerged inspired by a Perceptual Journey of exploration, Pause and Listening.

The Perceptual Journey in Osteopathy.

This curriculum explored core themes including:

- Perception and Health

-Where Is the Power for Change?

-Wholeness, Flow and Form

This explorative journey unfolded organically over time,
shaped as much by lived experience as by clinical practice.

Today, Osteopathic Studies enters a quieter, more reflective phase, as Robyn and Manuela have retired from clinical practice after 50 and 33 years respectively. In a fitting moment of synchronicity, their long-time IT website consultant has likewise retired, marking a natural transition to this new digital space.

Osteopathic Studies now becomes a place to pause, reflect, and distil the essence of what decades of practice, teaching, and inquiry have revealed.
It honours the Perceptual Journey, sensing, listening, and communicating with the natural world and the Mystery.
Remembering the somatic sensation of Wholeness, Love and Eternity, permeating throughout.

This space will offer:

- Reflections and Insights on perception, Presence, neuroscience and philosophy

-A contemplative record of a lifelong journey

The osteopaths who have studied with Robyn and Manuela, and with Dr. Jealous, are now continuing to explore these principles of treatment . They share their knowledge and clinical experience through courses in Australia with BioBasics in Australia and the Perceptual Studies Group in New Zealand.
