Dr Sonia Wainberg
BSc (Clin. Sc), MHSc (Osteo)
Meet Sonia, an Osteopath who has developed a profound passion for her profession. Her dedication to osteopathy is deeply intertwined with her appreciation for the natural world, believing that our bodies function similarly to nature itself. Through osteopathy, she has embraced the values of stillness, attentive listening, and patience.
Before embarking on her osteopathic career, Sonia worked as a massage therapist for several years. This experience sparked her inital interest for the human body and ignited her desire to gain deeper knowledge. She pursued her osteopathic studies at Southern Cross University in NSW and has since engaged in various postgraduate studies across Australia, the UK, and the USA.
As an Osteopath, Sonia considers herself a generalist, treating individuals holistically rather than focusing on specific conditions or areas of the body. She took her interest in breathing and jaw pain/dysfunction further and qualified as an Orofacial Myologist so that she had more ways to help her patients in these areas. She is also particularly interested in movement/exercise and functional breathing, recognising their significant impact on overall health.
Beyond her professional life, Sonia is a creative soul, honing her skills in embroidery, weaving, and knitting over recent years. She also has a strong fondness for exercise, with a long-standing passion for weightlifting. Recently, she rekindled her love for rock climbing, finding immense joy in its challenges and thrills.
Sonia practices at IOC on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
