Sentence
£623 fine, £249 victim surcharge, £85 prosecution costs
Lilly Iaschelcic, a 30-year-old influencer with over 600,000 Instagram followers and founder of Osteopathic Health clinic, continued to describe herself as a qualified osteopath on her website after her registration with the General Osteopathic Council ended in January 2022. She had graduated with a masters in osteopathic medicine and nutrition in 2021 but moved to Georgia to study medicine, forgetting to update the website. Concerns were raised in 2024, leading to a warning from the regulator. The website allowed apparent bookings and featured her performing treatments, though she disputed the functionality. A second charge regarding an Instagram post was withdrawn.
Admitted calling herself an osteopath while not registered. Magistrate noted the offence protects the public but took into account her prior registration and passion for the field. Described as an oversight after moving abroad to study medicine.
