I am a physiotherapist with more than 30 years of experience, qualified in 1987 at the Middlesex Hospital School of Physiotherapy, London. I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (MCSP) and the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC).

​

My early career was spent specialising in Paediatric Rheumatology at the National Clinical Research Centre at Northwick Park Hospital, where I worked alongside Dr. Barbara Ansell and her successor, Professor Patricia Woo. During this time, I also developed a strong interest in sports medicine, gaining experience at the British Olympic Medical Centre at Northwick Park Hospital and in private practice within a sports injury clinic.

​

Following a career break to raise four children and a move to the New Forest, my professional focus shifted towards working with the older population. I became passionate about promoting exercise and functional independence in later years, aiming to support individuals in maintaining mobility, confidence, and quality of life.

​

Over the years, I have worked in a range of settings, including musculoskeletal outpatients within the NHS, community physiotherapy, palliative care in a Hospice environment, and as a physiotherapy associate in private practice. My current work is dedicated to older adults, providing physiotherapy in private practice either in patients’ homes or in care settings. I support individuals recovering post-operatively, those with reduced mobility, and those who may have lost confidence in their ability to move safely and independently.

​

My approach centres on offering support, guidance, and encouragement, using tailored exercise and engaging activities. My ultimate aim is to help people achieve and enjoy functional independence—whatever that may look like for each individual.
