“I studied at the University College of Osteopathy where I received a Master’s degree, graduating with distinction. I am a registered osteopath with the General Osteopathic Council and the Institute of Osteopathy; a qualified sports massage therapist and Level 4 Strength and Conditioning coach. I have a special interest in sports and exercise medicine and combine this with osteopathic expertise, which allows for a holistic approach to patient care.

I have had the privilege of working with athletes across a broad-spectrum including amateurs seeking to improve their performance and recover from injury to elite professionals. I use these skills in time away from clinic to work with a respected world tour cycling team, providing osteopathic support at training camps and races alongside clinical work which has allowed me to understand the unique demands of sport on human physiology and the implication for recovery. This combined with personal experience in sports, is used to optimise the health and recovery of my patients by way of a combination of structural osteopathic techniques and rehabilitation.”

“I set up Balanced Osteopathy in the October of 2014, upon completion of my first class honours degree in Osteopathy from Oxford Brookes University. I wanted to bring together a team of like minded individuals who were focused on providing excellent treatment and aftercare to their patients that is superior to what is typically offered at other clinics. My focus is on cultivating a team that work together in the best interests of the patient, combining all of their unique skill sets to provide a bespoke offering to each patient. Treatment and rehab is focused on working towards an individuals unique and specific goals.

When working with my own patients, my approach is to identify and work with the musculoskeletal imbalances and altered biomechanics that have built up over time, which typically predispose or maintain recurrent pain/injury. I treat in a structural way to restore balance to the whole body and reduce pain, and believe that an important part of what I do is educating people about how their own body works and what tweaks can be made to their daily or indeed training routine, to overcome pain and avoid recurrence of injury e.g changing running style, specific strength work or adjusting a desk set up.

I enjoy working with a variety of different clients and have experience treating a spectrum of musculoskeletal complaints. As a mother of 2 young children, I have a keen interest in supporting women through pregnancy and beyond, helping mothers to get back to daily life and sport in a pain free way. Simultaneously, I have spent 10 years working with running injuries, and have developed expertise in working with middle- long distance runners.”
