This ignited his passion for further knowledge, leading him to studying Osteopathy in Melbourne at RMIT university. From there, he moved to Sydney, NSW where he worked at Health Dimensions Windsor, NSW and Bella Vista, NSW for the better part of 20 years.

Dr Daniel Joiner
As a teenager Daniel experienced regular growth spurts which caused him to suffer from leg and lower back pain. The successful treatment of these issues by an Osteopath at this time started Daniel’s journey into the profession. Daniel then went on to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) and a Masters in Osteopathic Medicine.
During his time at University Daniel joined The Army Reserve as a private in the infantry, which started a different career for him in the Royal Australian Army as a full time infantry soldier. Over 6 years this career saw Daniel visit both East Timor and Afghanistan. From his exposure in the military Daniel has a experience and a particular interest in elite styles of training and endurance activities, and the injuries associated with these. Daniel left the Army in 2013 to continue his career in Osteopathy.
When not practicing as an Osteopath Daniel can be found surfing, participating in crossfit, long range shooting, or on a fire truck with the Rural Fire Service of which he has been a member for 20 years.
Now founder and lead Osteopath at Coast Health Clinic, Daniel is a motivated member of the local Gosford Community.
“I’m excited to be based here in Gosford and look forward to helping my Patients achieve their best physical health.” – Dr Daniel Joiner (osteopath)

Studio Pilates
Instructor Helena Brunsdon
I have always been in awe of how the human body moves and what it is capable of doing.
Pilates has been part of my life since the 90s and I love how it transforms the body using gravity and the body itself, so simple, so effective, so beautiful. After decades in a corporate career, I decided to follow my passion for the Pilates method professionally and embarked on my government accredited and industry endorsed teacher training journey with Australia’s oldest and leading Pilates education body, Pilates International Training Centre (PITC).
I hold the Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction (10838NAT) and am qualified to provide comprehensive Pilates method training in a variety of settings and on all Pilates equipment (Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Barrels, Matwork + small apparatus).
My goal as your Pilates teacher is to help you connect with your body and help you feel stronger, more supple, move more freely, reduce or prevent aches and pains, and give you strength and wellbeing, a sense of feeling fit for your everyday life.
I look forward to meeting you!
Helena
