My Journey Into Physiotherapy

The Beginning

My journey began with a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Even before qualifying as a physiotherapist, I was teaching exercise classes and discovering how movement could transform health and wellbeing. Over time, these two paths came together — physiotherapy gave me a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement, while teaching Pilates, yoga and community fitness showed me how people can build strength, improve balance and enhance their overall health through exercise.

Specialising in Neurological Care

During my training and early career, I discovered a particular passion for neurological physiotherapy. I was drawn to the complexity and challenge of helping people with these conditions, where every individual’s journey is unique. Working with people living with diagnoses such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and other long-term neurological challenges has shown me the importance of personalised, compassionate care to support progress and improve quality of life.

My Approach to Care

❤️

Person-Centred Care

I believe in treating the whole person, not just their condition. Every individual has unique goals, challenges, and circumstances. My approach is to listen, understand, and work together to create a treatment plan that fits your life and aspirations.

🌟

Holistic Care

I take a whole-person approach — combining clinical expertise with encouragement and care. My focus is on supporting progress not only during sessions but also in everyday life, helping you build confidence, strength, and independence where it matters most.

🏠

Home-Based Care

I chose to offer home visits because I believe rehabilitation is most effective in your natural environment. Working in your home allows me to see how you move and function in your daily life, leading to more practical and meaningful treatment.

What Drives Me

🌟

Seeing Progress

There’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone regain their confidence and independence.

🤝

Building Relationships

I value the relationships I build with my clients and their families. Trust and understanding are the foundation of effective rehabilitation.

💪

Making a Difference

Every day, I have the privilege of supporting people to improve their quality of life and reach their goals.
