Registered Osteopath, MONZ

Venla Kärki graduated in 2019 from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Finland and has since been working in both Finland and New Zealand. She worked with our team at City Osteopaths for the two years over Covid and has now returned to join our practice again! Prior to becoming an Osteopath, Venla was a fully qualified Veterinarian.

A passionate advocate of osteopathic principles, she bases her treatments on a comprehensive understanding of the body’s ability to heal. With extensive postgraduate training in cranial, biodynamic, and visceral osteopathy, Venla primarily employs gentle cranial and biodynamic techniques, integrating additional modalities as needed to address each patient’s unique concerns.

Deeply committed to empowering her patients, Venla believes that the primary goal of any practitioner is to help individuals unlock their innate capacity for healing and achieve optimal health. She is particularly fascinated by the workings of the nervous system and the ways in which stress and emotions impact the body. By working collaboratively with her patients, she devises strategies to relieve stress, release tension, and promote overall well-being—always with an eye toward what will best support their everyday lives.

Venla studied the care of concussion patients with Complete Concussion, and is now providing specialist care for Wellingtonians with both acute and persistent concussion symptoms.

She believes that building the foundations for healing are key, even when it comes to concussion care. So we’ll start by getting your hydration, nutrition, sleep and nervous system to a place where the body can heal itself efficiently (read more about why this is of utmost importance in the articles).

Venla can also administer the Buffalo Treadmill test, do initial assessment of the vision and vestibular systems, and refer to a specialist where needed, and more. If you have any questions about whether she could help you on your concussion journey, contact our front desk team to discuss this, or you can email Venla directly at venla@cityosteopaths.co.nz.
