I am an experienced osteopath having qualified in 2000 from the British School of Osteopathy (now University College of Osteopathy) with a BSc (Hons) degree in Osteopathy. I have been fully registered continually with the General Osteopathic Council since qualification. I am dually qualified with a Masters in Western Medical Acupuncture, and in addition am a fully qualified Pilates instructor.

I use traditional osteopathy techniques such as massage, spinal manipulation, myofascial release and stretching, with medical acupuncture, including electroacupuncture. I used an evidence based approach, and as a qualified Pilates instructor I can give specific exercise instruction for your recovery.

I blend treatment modalities according to what you need - or prefer - so please feel you can say what works best for you if you already have a preference for a type of treatment. However please note that I do not run a ‘quick fix’ practice! Instead I work with you to understand your problem - do some first aid of course if needed to get you moving - but then look to rehab and strategies to equip you to understand and manage the issues you have.

I gained my experience by joining the Bexley Osteopathic Clinic on qualifying in 2000. I also spent 10 years from 2007 - 2017 mentored by Emma Bryant at the Chelmsford Osteopathy Centre. I have used acupuncture since 2005 and have a Masters degree in Western Medical Acupuncture from the University of Hertfordshire. I am an accredited member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society, for whom I also a course tutor, teaching acupuncture skills and safety to medical and allied health professionals. I work for the NHS as a medical acupuncturist at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine where I specialise in patients with chronic tension type headaches, migraines, facial pain and complex chronic pain conditions.

It was in taking up Hatha Yoga due to a shoulder injury in 2018, that I found Deva Yoga Studio and started my own practice with their team of Wellness therapists. I also joined The Chislehurst Clinic for two years in an expert team of professionals with podiatry, biomechanical gait assessment, physiotherapy and osteopathy all under one roof. In 2021, driven by wanting to offer the best in-house care I could, I qualified as a Pilates Instructor and this has further informed my latest chapter in returning to practice in Bexley Village again, joining Pilates Body Studio as their resident osteopath.

I keep mentally and physically sound with pool and open water swimming, running, Hatha Yoga, Pilates and functional bodyweight training. My mantra is Motion is Lotion.
