I am a dedicated Healthcare Professional with an enthusiastic
caring approach. Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic

and the manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of
the individual patient.

qualified as an Osteopath in 2002, and work in two clinics,

School of Osteopathy. I am regulated by The General
Osteopathic Council and a member of The
