As a young girl, I was interested in training in the health/medical field, but never really had the opportunity so ended up doing other things. Then after having my daughter, I felt I needed to retrain and it was the perfect time to choose something in this field.

I had been having some chiropractic care at this time and my chiropractor suggested studying chiropractic. When my daughter started school, I did a little research into this and within a few months found myself enrolled on a course that would change my life.

It was actually really fun to go back to school. I really enjoyed the course as it was great to study something I was very interested in. It was quite weird to study again and was a completely different experience to the first time round. It was hard work but it was also a lot of fun to be a student again.

I qualified at the end of 2012 and have been working in a few clinics along the south east coast.  I have enjoyed learning from other people as there are so many different techniques out there. I have done many different courses to improve myself. One of the things I really enjoy using is acupuncture as part of my treatment. It has really helped me with pain relief and many of my patients have benefited from it.

I really enjoy my job and love meeting new people and finding out their stories. I enjoy working with people of all ages but have a real soft spot for working with elderly people as they have so many interesting stories to tell.

I look forward to meeting you!
