Growing up on a working family farm, I have always been aware of the need to take an active role in my health and wellbeing. I had never really heard of a Chiropractor until during my A level studies when I undertook some reception work at a Chiropractic clinic.

The combination of both learning about Chiropractic, and seeing the obvious benefits to patient’s health was the turning point in my life. I realised that Chiropractic was the perfect career choice I had been looking for. I enrolled and studied at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, where I graduated with distinction and was awarded the European Chiropractors’ Union prize for being the ‘Graduate of the year’. Since finishing University, I have undertaken further training focusing on Chiropractic care for pregnant women, babies and children. This is an area which holds a particular interest for myself, and I practice a variety of treatment techniques including cranial work and the Webster-Breech Protocol.

Outside of work I have a keen interest in sports and regularly run, cycle and horse ride. Having competed in numerous events including two marathons, several half marathons, fell runs, and long distance cycle rides, I understand the frustration of injuries and the impact they can have on a training schedule. I enjoy working with athletes of all ages and ability to get them performing at the best of their potential.

I have successfully treated walkers, runners, cyclists, golfers, rugby players, footballers, horse riders and weight lifters amongst many others. So whether you are training for an iron man or simply want to be able to do the ironing without pain, I aim to get you performing to the top of your game. Marple is my home town, and I love having the opportunity to help and educate our local community, by offering an alternative choice to simply ‘putting up with’ complaints, or masking symptoms without getting to the underlying cause. Additionally, I believe it is important for patients to take an active role in their own recovery, and will give ongoing advice regarding exercise and nutrition throughout the treatment plan.

As a Chiropractor, one of the most satisfying aspects is seeing the difference in the quality of a patient’s life by getting them involved in their own healthcare. So if you have any questions please feel free to give us a call, or get booked in and we can get started on your journey to optimum health.
