Lauranne Thomas D.O, B.Sc
General and Paediatric Osteopath
Pilates Instructor
Hello, I'm Lauranne, an experienced osteopath in West London with over 15 years of clinical experience helping people of all ages move more comfortably and feel their best. My passion lies in supporting women throughout pregnancy, after birth, and caring for babies using gentle, evidence-informed osteopathic treatment.
As a qualified cranial osteopath and baby osteopath, I have developed a special interest in helping newborns, infants and mothers navigate the physical changes that occur during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. My aim is to provide safe, gentle and personalised care that supports the whole family.
I graduated in France after completing a five-year full-time osteopathic degree, where I trained in a wide range of osteopathic techniques including cranial, visceral, fascial and structural osteopathy. This comprehensive training enables me to tailor every treatment to the individual, whether you are seeking help for back pain, neck pain, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort or your baby's wellbeing.
I believe the body functions as an integrated whole. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I look for the underlying cause of pain or dysfunction and develop an individual treatment plan to help restore movement, reduce discomfort and support long-term health. Every patient is different, and every treatment reflects that.
Alongside my osteopathic practice, I am a qualified Level 3 Mat Pilates instructor. Pilates has given me a deeper understanding of posture, movement and rehabilitation, allowing me to provide practical advice and exercises that help patients maintain the benefits of treatment between appointments.
My interest in maternity care also led me to train as a Doula with Michel Odent. This experience has deepened my understanding of pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal journey, allowing me to better support women through the physical and emotional changes that accompany this important stage of life.
Education is an important part of every consultation. I believe patients achieve the best outcomes when they understand their bodies, so I take time to explain what I find, discuss your treatment options and provide advice that helps you feel confident in managing your health.
Outside the clinic, you'll usually find me outdoors - running through London's parks, cycling along the river, hiking in the mountains or surfing whenever I can. I also volunteer at the Dispensaire Français, a charity supporting French-speaking people in need.
Lauranne Thomas is fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and is recognised by most major UK and international health insurance providers, including Bupa, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna and WPA. Whether you are looking for an osteopath in West London for back pain, sports injuries, pregnancy osteopathy, postnatal recovery or a trusted baby osteopath for your newborn, I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic and helping you achieve your health goals.
