I initially trained as a dancer and musical theatre performer before sustaining an injury that precluded any further professional involvement in that field. I gained my teaching credentials after 2 years at dance college and taught for a number of years on and off until I decided to turn my attention to helping others who had suffered similar musculoskeletal injury. I chose chiropractic as it was this that had helped me though some difficult times and had also been key in helping my father who had suffered significantly over the years with back and joint related problems.
After 5 years I graduated in 2008 from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) with Distinction and went on to complete a further year of post graduate study. I have experience of teaching chiropractic technique to both the 2nd and 3rd years of the undergraduate programme at the AECC – now HSU, and have backed up in myofascial seminars in both Sweden and Bournemouth.
I enjoy the gym, play badminton once a week and swim 2-3 times a week. In my spare time I am a keen musician and enjoy playing the violin and piano. I keep my hand in with singing still and am a member of a choir as well as a quartet. We raise money throughout the year for Macmillan Caring Locally and this is something I feel very passionate about. At Christmas, we also raise money for the RNLI with Carols on the Quay at Mudeford.
My time is spread between work and my family but should I have any spare, I would like to finish my academic journey with a Doctorate at some point.
