I’ve spent the last seven years working as a Physiotherapist, specialising in musculoskeletal health. I trained at Northumbria University before working in the NHS, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. I progressed into a senior role during my three years there, learning to assess a wide range of musculoskeletal problems and, importantly, to recognise when something required further investigation or medical input.

I then moved into private practice in London, where I was able to spend more time with each person. I went on to train in Mat and Reformer Pilates and acupuncture.

However, there was a group of people who would return to the clinic regularly and follow their rehabilitation plans diligently, yet they weren’t getting better. I found myself questioning the whether we could do better and help these people more.

I began exploring pain neuroscience and the relationship between the brain, nervous system and body. I started incorporating more education, nervous system regulation and a mind-body approach into my physiotherapy practice, and I saw how much could change when people began to understand their symptoms differently.
