I came to osteopathy as a result of personally experiencing the correlation between state of mind and state of health. After a 7 year career in the fashion industry, I came to understand the physical manifestations stress can have on one’s body. I left fashion behind and decided to embark on a career that could help guide people back to health rather than away from it. I also wanted to develop my interest in pathophysiology and human anatomy.
I believe personal development and learning should be continuous and this is reflected in my treatment, as I never rely on the same techniques or explanations. Every patient is unique and I treat what I find rather than subscribe to a formula. I tailor my treatment to the patient’s needs using manipulative, soft tissue, cranial and functional techniques.
Medicine is constantly evolving and I like to keep abreast of new developments. I recently wrote a paper on Infantile Colic in infants, particularly examining the link between stress in mothers and the incidence of colic. I am passionate about paediatric and obstetric osteopathy and plan to study for another Masters in this area in order to develop my research into the relationship between stress and unsettled babies.
