In 2011, I embarked on the Masters of Osteopathy degree course at Swansea University. I attended lectures based on anatomy & physiology, pathology & therapeutics and principles of osteopathic technique. I gained my 1000 clinical hours working within the university’s on-site clinic as well as within Swansea’s ABMU health board system. In my final year of study I wrote a 20,000 word dissertation on the subject of pregnancy-related low back pain, which spurred my interest in how osteopathy can help pregnant women and children.

​

After graduating in 2015 with a First Class Honours degree in Osteopathy, I took a year out of study before enrolling on the Diploma for Paediatric Osteopathy (DPO) course at the prestigious Osteopathic Centre for Children. This course required me to complete 90 days of clinical learning within two clinics across London, providing osteopathic care to children with various health conditions as well as pregnant women. I also had to complete a rotation within Barnet Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where I was able to develop my hands-on experience with premature or severely ill babies. This learning was overseen by some of the most experienced paediatric osteopaths in this country. I completed this training in early 2019.

Over the years I have developed an interest in managing:

- Headaches for adult patients

- Pregnancy related musculoskeletal pain and

- The mechanics of infant feeding

Since gaining my qualifications all those years ago, I have had two children so can empathise with a lot of the struggles some parents are experiencing! I am now back in clinic and ready to support more families in the local area, directly through my hands, but also by building up an incredible network of like minded practitioners who share my passion for creating a supportive, inclusive and innovative approach to pre and post natal care...
