I have been a sports therapist for over 10 years. I have always been interested in sports and being active. This interest led me to study Sports Therapy (BSc) at undergraduate level,where I fell in love with sports massage and anatomy.

After completing my degree, I began to work with clients privately which I still do today. During my final year of studying, I was approached to lecture at a local college. I became interested in teaching, which led me to complete my Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at university.

I taught modules such as advanced deep tissue massage, sports massage and anatomy at a degree level on sports therapy and beauty therapy courses. After working privately as well as teaching, I went on to qualify as a Reformer Pilates instructor.

After leaving teaching, I went on to complete a master’s degree in Sports Medicine, Exercise and Health (MSc). The knowledge I had gained from my master’s helped me to improve my diagnostics and treatments of clients with injuries. I was also able to incorporate the knowledge within my soft tissue treatments and work alongside amazing physiotherapists and osteopaths.

I have gathered a vast amount of knowledge and experience over the years and still have so much more to learn. I am constantly reading current literature around injuries, soft tissue therapies and how to help my clients recover and do the things they enjoy. I love sharing my experience, knowledge and passion with my learners, and helping them on their journeys to becoming amazing therapists.
