Reena’s clinical background

Across 20 years in practice, Reena’s clinical focus has been infant feeding difficulties, oral ties, plagiocephaly, reflux, and torticollis — with particular expertise in tongue-tie and plagiocephaly, the two areas she’s most known for. Her approach centres on establishing what a family actually needs: a thorough history, and where relevant, assessment of both baby and breastfeeding parent, since feeding involves two people whose presentations need to be understood together.

Reena’s approach

“Patient centred. Individualised, and focused on the whole person / whole family.”

Holding dual qualification as an Advanced Paediatric Osteopath and IBCLC lets Reena bring a comprehensive view to feeding and paediatric presentations — assessing oral function, and neurological and orthopaedic factors, side by side rather than treating them as separate problems. Where something sits outside osteopathic or lactation care, she refers on — to a GP, paediatrician, dentist, speech pathologist, neurosurgeon or orthotist as needed.

Reena’s role today

Reena has stepped back from seeing patients directly and now works as Clinical Director, mentoring the team and providing additional clinical opinion on complex cases. She’s still closely involved in the clinic’s direction and the training and development of Completely Aligned’s practitioners.

Working with the wider team

Reena collaborates internally across the team — sharing knowledge, supporting complex cases, and providing a second clinical opinion where needed — and works with GPs, paediatricians, dentists, speech pathologists, neurosurgeons and orthotists externally. She’s particularly involved in pregnancy and postpartum care, infant feeding, and paediatric concerns across the practice.
