Outside of clinical practice, Cole is an academic staff member for the Osteopathy program at Ara Institute of Canterbury, where he enjoys contributing to the ongoing development of the Osteopathic profession in New Zealand.

He enjoys helping patients build confidence in their bodies and supporting them through recovery with practical, personalised strategies.

Before training as an osteopath, Cole worked across ICU, pre‑hospital emergency care, and healthcare practice management — experience that has strengthened his adaptability, decision‑making, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

Cole lives locally in North Canterbury with his wife and two daughters. Outside the clinic, he stays active through Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, strength training, and tramping with his family.
