Why did I become an Osteopath? Well, firstly I grew up as one of those kids who had a different sport every day whether it was training or a game (sorry Mum and Dad) ..until I struck injury after injury! These injuries are what sparked my interest in the intricacies of the human body!

 

In my teenage years I was that girl who always had a headache and occasional migraines. After trying every remedy, medication, and treatment under the sun, I decided to give Osteopathy a shot.. And wow! This Osteopath listened - something that I had been desperate for. The results I got from a few treatments with this Osteopath were completely life changing - the experience that led me to my interest in the wonderful world of Osteopathy and here I am! 

 

In the midst of my studies I experienced a severe glandular fever infection which completely changed my life for around three years. After years of struggling to do day-to-day activities without needing a nap I was forced to learn just how important it is to listen to my body.

 

This personal experience shaped my approach both personally and clinically. I firmly believe that the first step towards self-care begins with listening to what your body is trying to tell you. Aches and pains? They're your body's way of saying, "Hey, I need some help here!"

Now that I am out of the glandular fever hole I take any opportunity to get active and moving! In my free time you’ll find me at the gym and taking my dogs on new walks. I love a good roadie and am easily tempted by a vanilla latte - dairy free of course (if you know, you know).
