Marika is a really interesting osteopath, a Swedish national, she initially started her training in the UK but then decided to go back to Sweden to train in Gothenburg. Marika graduated in 1998 and already had a keen interest in classical osteopathy; studied with John Wernham in Maidstone for a further 2 years. She was the vice-president of the Swedish Osteopathic Association and was president of the EFO for 4 years while playing a key role in raising osteopathic education standards across many countries in Europe as chair of the CEN Swedish Technical Committee. During this time she somehow also found time to complete an MSc at Dresden. Marika has also lectured at the Kirksville and is a force to be reckoned with!
