I qualified from the Surrey Institute Of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003, and have been practicing as an osteopath ever since. I practice osteopathy based on the classical principles, which take  a more holistic approach to treatment, often used alongside conventional medicine. The principals of which I learnt during my degree which benefited from the influence of classically trained osteopaths and  an affiliation to Mr John Wernham.

Please read on to find out why I became so passionate about osteopathy….
My mother suffered for a while with headaches and dizzy spells; the cause of which was something of a mystery at first to the team of doctors treating her. They were often so severe that she would be unable to sleep lying down, but had to remain virtually seated. Whilst we were awaiting test results; a family friend suggested that she might benefit from osteopathic assessment, and provided us with the details of a local osteopath. I accompanied her to her subsequent treatments; and was fascinated to see what I now know to be a neck adjustment being carried out. This, among other techniques, provided her with such relief that she was able to sleep in a conventional position that night for the first time in months.
This left a huge impression on me, and I was captivated with how a simple adjustment could relieve such severe and deep-seated discomfort.  Having seen the change that a simple neck adjustment made, I knew then that what my chosen career would be.

The osteopathic treatment my mum received all those years ago provided a huge relief for her and indeed for us, as we saw a visible improvement in her well-being.
As an osteopath myself, it is an incredibly rewarding profession to allowing me to treat people with many different problems from the serious, to posture re-alignments, and reliving the pain from everyday wear and tear that we all get from time to time. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my family and friends, who have provided me with invaluable inspiration and support over the years and continue to do so every day.
