Meet The Team
The people that make the difference
Jessica Mott B. App. Sci., M. Ost.
Bachelor of applied Science, Master of Osteopathy
Principal osteopath
ACC Registered practitioner
As the proud owner and operator of ThreeSixty Osteopathy, Jess is deeply committed to providing hands-on, personalised care that helps people feel better and live better. She’s known for her approachable and caring nature, always taking the time to truly listen to her patients and tailor treatments to their individual needs. Jess is passionate about helping people not just recover, but thrive. Whether that means being able to walk the dog along the beach pain-free or returning to high-intensity activities like CrossFit.
Her journey into osteopathy began when she was considering a career in physiotherapy or medicine. Knowing she wanted to help people but not necessarily become a doctor, she was introduced to osteopathy a profession she had never heard of at the time. After researching its holistic approach to body assessment and treatment, she knew it was the right path. Five years of study and hard work later, she entered the field, and now, as the owner of ThreeSixty Osteopathy, she brings her skills and expertise to the community.
We asked Jess: “What values are important to you, in the way that you work with your patients?”
Trust is really, really important. Because if there’s not a mutual trust between the patient and the practitioner, then that’s really hard to go forward and have effective treatments and progress. Also honesty, so having an honest relationship with the patient, in that they feel comfortable being able to tell you the truth – “I didn’t do my exercises this week”, or conversely “I was really great at doing that [exercise]”.
The third one that’s really important to me is friendliness and making yourself approachable for the patient. You’ve got to be friendly to be able to build patient rapport.
Beyond the Clinic
Outside of work, Jess enjoys spending time with friends and family, embracing the balance between a busy career and a fulfilling personal life. Living on a lifestyle block with her partner and dogs, she loves the fresh air and open space though she’ll happily admit that gardening isn’t her thing!
Vai Asomua PGDIP Osteo. BMSKh.
Bachelor of muscukolskeletal health, Postgraduate in osteopathy
JUNIOR ASSOCIATE OSTEOPATH
ACC Registered Practitioner
Vai joins ThreeSixty after making the move to Auckland from sunny Nelson with his young family.
Before beginning his Osteopathic career, Vai worked as a personal trainer. His passion for helping people improve their health and wellbeing naturally led him to explore other healthcare professions before discovering Osteopathy. He quickly realised Osteopathy was the perfect fit, allowing him to combine his interest in exercise with hands-on treatment to support people in their recovery and overall movement.
Vai brings a great balance of hands-on Osteopathic treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation, working with people of all ages from active teenagers to older adults who are aiming to stay mobile to improve comfort, movement, and confidence in their daily activities.
He has a special interest in fall prevention, particularly with older adults, and enjoys helping patients build strength, balance, and confidence so they can stay active and independent.
We asked Vai: “What sparked your interest in fall prevention?"
My interest in fall prevention began when I saw how many injuries were preventable. Working as a personal trainer, I saw firsthand how much people can change there physical capacity through training which is tailored to them. I am especially interested in resistance training. I believe strength is one of the most powerful tools for improving balance, stability and overall function. Helping people of all ages safely build strength combined with the effectiveness of Osteopathy treatment, has a huge positive impact on long-term health. I really value involving patients in the process so they feel a sense of ownership over their health outcomes.
Beyond the Clinic
Outside of work, you'll often find Vai at the gym, playing disc golf, taking part in parkruns on the weekend, or enjoying geocaching adventures with his greyhound.
