The Practitioners at Two Bays:

Laurence Westcott

I have been practising in Mt. Eliza as a myotherapist since 1994.

Originally from France, I adopted Australia as my new home. Before migrating to Australia I worked as a midwife, which gives me a deep understanding in pre and postnatal treatment.

In 1999 I became a lymphoedema practitioner, and lymphoedema management is a daily part of my work.
In 2017, I qualified as a Nordic Walking Instructor. I run group classes and organise free monthly Nordic walking outings open to anyone who has done a course in Nordic Walking. Are you interested in actively improving your upper body strength or your posture? Ask to be on our email list for Nordic Walking courses/ walks.   http://nordicwalkingmp.com.au/
