Houman also studied Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA) in order to further help his patients.
As an osteopath, Houman’s experiences include working with sports teams and in osteopathy clinics in Orewa and West Auckland, providing assistance to a wide range of patients including athletes, office workers and older adults.

Aside from his osteopathic practice, Houman is a professional chef/barista and co-owns a cafe with his brother. He also likes to spend time doing outdoor activities with friends such as exploring beautiful sceneries in Auckland and playing soccer twice a week.
