DAYTIME & EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE
I am a qualified sports massage therapist and personal trainer. My enthusiasm for health and fitness came after I lost my Mum to cancer and I discovered that I had a genetic mutation, giving me a high risk of developing certain cancers in the future. I have since undergone a preventative bilateral mastectomy and have lived experience of exercise rehabilitation.
I am passionate about working with people to break down the barriers they may face to exercise and movement; working with them to alleviate pain and discomfort, restore muscle function, optimise movement and on injury prevention and rehabilitation.

My passion for sport was nurtured from a young age where I enjoyed a range of team sports, horse riding, skiing and cross country running. My love of sports evolved into an appreciation of and fascination for how the body functions. This led me to undertaking a degree in Sports Therapy, Health and Fitness (BSc) and subsequently qualifying as a Personal Trainer with a particular interest in corrective exercise programmes. Since then, I have gained knowledge and experience with rugby and football clubs, a chiropractic clinic in London and with private clients.
As a Sports Therapist I am enthusiastic about working with clients who would like support with general day to day mobility and injury prevention, who would like support with specific training goals or who are in need of a recovery and rehabilitation program.
