I qualified as an osteopath in 2004 from the British School of Osteopathy and have worked in Osteopathic, Complimentary and the NHS clinics. This has given me a broad understanding of different forms of treatments and how Osteopathy compliments other therapies.  This has given me a greater understanding of the complexities of the human body and the challenges of diagnosis and treatment.

I was introduced to Osteopathy 10 years ago, when a friend who had a very bad back injury failed to find any relief until she was treated by an Osteopath. The Osteopath pointed out some fairly obvious issues that cannot be determined by conventional medicine, as they cannot be seen on X-ray or MRI scan.  Exercises given by physiotherapists did not help. My friend was told that she would have to live with pain for the rest of her life. The journey into a very privileged position of being an Osteopath started there.

The way I treat is based on my palpation (sense of touch) skills.  As I am partially sighted and find fortunately that my sense touch is acute, I therefore tend to rely less on observation. This allows me to treat both using general osteopathic and cranial techniques, depending on what has been presented and the preference of the patient.

I have taken several modules from the Master degree programme in Cranial Osteopathy. This is to broaden my academic knowledge and improve my palpation and treatment skills.

I also have a degree in Mathematics and Finance, taken at Lancaster University.
