What influenced you to study and practice Osteopathy?
My career goals have always been focused around becoming an osteopath. A family member mentioned Osteopathy to me long before the difficult days of any teenager trying to decide what to do with their life. I always knew that an office role would not suit me; this, coupled with my desire to help people led me onto my path of studying Osteopathy.
Where did you study Osteopathy?
I completed my 4 year degree at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine. Being more of ‘small town’ girl rather than a ‘city’ girl, London was a fairly daunting place at first. However, I soon made friends with some great like-minded people, many of whom I still hold dear. BCOM is a well established, well-rounded college of Osteopathy. The student clinic offered a wide range of patient to treat from the very young, to the elderly. This gave me a large amount of experience treatment patients from different backgrounds before I had even graduated!
What is your treatment style?
I utilise both structural and cranial methodologies in my treatments depending on the patient and how they present in the clinic. Frequently I draw on both styles as they naturally compliment each other.
Tell us something about yourself
As you may have already read, I am Matt’s wife. As of April 2018 I have recently come back to work after a year of being a full-time mother to our son, Logan. I am very excited to work alongside Matt and hope my skills can add to, as well as compliment his successful and welcoming clinic.
