Dr Mariel Viray is an AHPRA registered osteopath, having graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy) and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy).

Having spent years as a personal trainer, Mariel sought to build upon the skills she had gained which led her in pursuing a career within Osteopathy. This newfound knowledge assists her in supporting and empowering those to be the best version of themselves and achieve optimal health and function.

Mariel understands that it's important to understand all aspects within an individual’s life to ensure management plans are tailored to their specific health journey. She considers this in order to help patient's reach their maximal functional potential - in conjunction with: patient education, ergonomic and lifestyle modifications, movement encouragement and the utilisation of a wide range of osteopathic hands-on techniques.

Since graduating, Mariel has continued to further her knowledge in various areas within osteopathy and manual therapy such as biodynamics, osteopathy in the cranial field, level 1 dry needling, myofascial cupping and balanced ligamentous / membranous tension technique. She has been fortunate enough to have undergone an intensive mentorship with Dr Cameron Kealy (Osteopath) - the founder of Migraine Solutions and the director of Recharge Osteopathy.

Outside of Recharge, you will likely find Mariel rewatching all her favourite Disney or Marvel movies, going on daily runs or walks and keeping active at her local gym.

She takes a holistic approach, looking at the person as a whole, taking their lifestyle and other factors into consideration. Her goals are to guide the body towards health, and help people feel empowered and in control of their pain management.

Outside of the clinic, Rachael enjoys reading, spending time with friends playing board games, going for nature walks, and cuddling her two cats.

Dr. Michael Ma is an enthusiastic Osteopath who continually strives to improve his Osteopathic skills. He wholeheartedly believes that Osteopathic treatment and philosophy can greatly improve lives.

After completing his Osteopathic training at RMIT Melbourne, he moved to Europe to learn more about Paediatric Osteopathy. There he studied at the Bavarian Paediatric School and Clinic of Traditional Osteopathy(BPSCO) in Munich and the Osteopathic Centre for Children(OCC) in London. Whilst there, he treated premature babies, toddlers, children and expecting mothers. He finds great joy in helping families not just get well together but also helping them understand what it means to be holistically healthy.

Dr. Ma treats all ages and conditions. The range of patients he has treated includes, 3 month premature babies, 98 year olds and world class MMA fighters. He understands that each individual has their own goals and will tailor his treatment approach specifically to them. He favours the biodynamic model of treatment but will also mobilise joints on a regular basis.

When not treating, he regularly practices Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and reads philosophy. His top three authors are Ayn Rand, Ryan Holiday and Jordan Peterson.

Dr Cameron Kealy is a leading Osteopath with over twenty years experience working in private practice. He believes in the power of osteopathy to transform people’s experience of health and create a whole new normal in their lives.

He has treated a huge range of patients across his nearly two decades of practice—from new born babies to 90-year olds, from AFL players and circus performers to office workers surviving the daily deskbound grind.

Dr Kealy is dedicated to deepening Osteopathic knowledge and practice through teaching and learning. He designed the curriculum for the Masters program in Indirect Technique at Victoria University, and taught the program for over 10 years.

He’s attended more than 20 professional development courses in the USA, New Zealand and Australia, and every year visits the USA for mentoring and professional development with the world-renowned Dr James Jealous, DO.  Much of this training relates to cranial and biodynamic techniques which have helped him develop a special interest in various types of headache, vertigo, post-concussion and other cranial-related symptoms (head and neck symptoms) on top of his general osteopathy practice.

Dr Kealy is a leading expert in the natural treatment and prevention of migraine, and is founder of the Migraine Solutions suite of programs and education tools.

Many years ago, Michael was incredibly fortunate to receive an amazing Hawaiian bodywork experience unlike any massage therapy he’d had before, with a profound sense of aliveness, wholeness and reconnection to self that is almost indescribable!

He was fundamentally rejuvenated on multiple levels. It was so powerful that he felt compelled to change careers and dedicate his life to bringing more of this powerful healing work into the world… and so Lomi Life was born.

Given the obvious benefits that remedial massage therapy provides, he is particularly passionate (as are his clients, with 100+ five-star Google reviews) about his signature style – The Deep Lomi Blend – a powerful, unique combination of Hawaiian ka huna, lomi lomi and remedial/deep tissue massage therapy that has the capacity to deeply rebalance and rejuvenate – physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually!

His work often complements an osteopath’s treatment, so he enjoys teaming up with Recharge’s osteos to provide that extra level of support for clients.

The most common reasons clients see Michael include:

• muscle pain/tension relief
• deep relaxation / de-stressing
• uplifting mental health support
• shifting stagnant energy
• rejuvenating a rundown nervous system
• grounding & reconnecting you to your heart & body wisdom
• boosting overall vitality & resilience
