Our Community & Collaborations
At Thrive N Grow, we believe that true wellness is a team effort. Healing is most powerful when we address the body from every angle—energetic, emotional, and physical.
To provide you with the most comprehensive care, we are proud to collaborate with and operate alongside leading health professionals in East Gippsland.
Meet Our Partners
Twin Rivers Osteopathy
We are thrilled to be working within the beautiful space at Twin Rivers Osteopathy. Their "patient-centered, whole-body" philosophy perfectly aligns with our mission to help you move beyond surviving and start thriving.
Meet Dr. Sharon Banks (Principal Osteopath & Owner)
Twin Rivers Osteopathy is led by Dr. Sharon Banks, a highly skilled Osteopath who brings a wealth of international experience to Bairnsdale. Sharon completed her Master’s degree at the British School of Osteopathy in London and has a deep passion for human biomechanics.
How Sharon works: Sharon uses a structural approach to care, meaning she looks at how the whole body is balanced and moving. She is also qualified in:
- Medical Dry Needling & Acupuncture
- Clinical Pilates
- Sports Therapy
With her background as a professional ballet dancer and a scuba diving instructor, Sharon has a unique understanding of how the body moves under pressure and how to help it recover from injury and chronic pain.
"I was drawn to osteopathy because of its patient-centred, whole-body approach, and how it can benefit people of all ages in so many different ways." — Dr. Sharon Banks
Why we love this collaboration:
While our frequency and biofeedback sessions work to balance your nervous system and energetic field, Sharon and her team at Twin Rivers ensure your physical structure is aligned and pain-free. Together, we provide a "top-to-bottom" approach to your health.
