An Introduction to Maëlle Guennec
My name is Maëlle Guennec. I come from a lovely place in Brittany, France. In 2020, I decided to move to England to study in the renowned European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Kent. My love for the human body and its physiology led me to discover the wonders of this beautiful profession.
I have been treating patients for over three years now and I developed a genuine interest in Women’s health. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2023, and I feel very strongly in empowering women who share this chronic and sometimes disabling condition. I love to open conversations about pelvic floor dysfunction, constipation, urinary incontinence, endometriosis, etc. Additionally, I hold a diploma in Dry Needling and Western Medical Acupuncture which enhances my holistic approach to the human body.
I enjoy using a wide variety of osteopathic techniques, such as spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation and soft tissue massage, as well as cranial and visceral approaches. I believe in a transparent and collaborative approach to treatment. I will always ensure that I gain consent and check your understanding before attempting any treatment.
My journey into Osteopathy began with a personal experience of back injury due to intense swimming and dance training. This experience, combined with the Osteopathic philosophy of “finding the health, not the disease”, shapes my practice. While a precise diagnosis is crucial for setting realistic expectations, I believe in empowering patients with education and exercises to support their recovery. A condition does not define a person, it is the individual behind the condition that motivates me daily.
