Meet your therapists…

I am a level 3 Sports Massage Therapist about to graduate as a MSST Sports Therapist from Hartpury University, I also have a BSc in Biology (Bristol University). This is a change of direction in career for me as I have spent the last 20 years as an International level Dressage Rider and Coach, so I have plenty of life experience needing the skills of a good massage therapist and/or sports therapist myself.
Massage can be an important part of recovery from sports and strenuous activities, as well as helping to manage the stressors of everyday life, and as a coach I know communication is key to tailor treatment sessions for each individual to get the best outcome possible. I am passionate about enabling people to reach their goals (whatever they may be) and try to use a positive focus to find a way forward from injury or illness.
My firm belief in movement and its importance to our health and wellbeing has meant I’m about to embark on a Masters Degree in Applied Strength and Conditioning. Whilst studying at Hartpury I have developed my skills and experience working with Equestrian Athletes, the Hartpury Women’s Football Team, Gloucester RFC and the Hartpury Sports injury Clinic.
When not working or studying, you’ll find me tramping through the hills with my dog, adventuring outdoors in general or hitting the slopes for some skiing.

I am a graduate sports therapist from the University of Gloucestershire. I have worked in a variety of sports including Rugby, Football, American Football and Volleyball. Through experiences with fantastic organizations the likes of Oxford Brooks American Football Club, Gloucester RFC, and Gloucestershire University Volleyball Club I have developed my knowledge of injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. Having many years of experience as a youth coach and understand the needs and demands placed on young athletes as they develop their athletic journey.

I am capable in delivering various treatments including: massage, manual therapy, electro therapy, KinesoTape application, whilst building personalized programs to get athletes back to what they love doing most. When it comes to training, I am a huge advocate of quality over quantity. I am constantly looking to expand my own knowledge and treatment methods through CPD, as well as individual experiences by developing authentic rapport with clients.

In my spare time I am quite an active individual. When not planning/training for bike packing trips across the UK, I coach and play Volleyball, run, surf and rock climb. My interests and experiences have driven me to broaden my understanding the various areas of health and fitness. Having worked through my own injuries, I understand that there is no single approach towards rehabilitation and being pain free.
