Ella Gilder
Ella Gilder is a registered osteopath and clinic director of Gilder Wellness, with clinics in Crowborough and Battersea. She graduated with a Masters of Osteopathy from the University College of Osteopathy, where she received the award for Best Overall Performance — presented by HRH Princess Anne at graduation.
Before pursuing osteopathy, Ella trained extensively as a massage therapist, holding a diploma in sports and remedial massage from the London School of Sports Massage. This clinical background in soft tissue therapy informs her hands-on approach to every treatment.
She is also a specialist in movement rehabilitation and clinical Pilates, having completed the full APPI matwork training series — Levels 1, 2 and 3. The APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) is the gold standard in clinical Pilates, and this allows Ella to integrate targeted rehabilitation exercises directly into osteopathic treatment where appropriate.
With a particular interest in workplace health, Ella holds a Level 3 ergonomic assessment qualification — helping patients identify and address the workstation issues that often underlie recurring neck, back and shoulder pain.
Her clinical interests include head, face and neck pain, chronic back, hip and pelvic conditions, and jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction — the latter being especially relevant at the Battersea clinic, based within Vere Dental.
Alongside Gilder Wellness, Ella practises at Harley Street Physiotherapy, one of London's leading private physiotherapy practices.

Anya Woolliams
Anya is a qualified osteopath who joins us at the Crowborough clinic on a sessional basis. She graduated with a Masters of Osteopathy from the University College of Osteopathy, gaining clinical experience at community clinics including the Ian Charleson clinic at the Royal Free Hospital.
Anya has a particular interest in chronic pain, having worked with complex patients through GP referrals at CORE — the Centre for Osteopathic Research and Excellence. She takes a patient-centred, evidence-based approach, working collaboratively with patients on realistic goals and long-term habit changes.
In 2023 she qualified in both equine and canine osteopathy, and continues to expand her specialism through regular CPD — most recently completing a shoulder injuries specialty course.
Outside the clinic Anya is a keen runner and triathlete, and combines her sports massage expertise with yin yoga massage fusion sessions and international yoga retreats.
