Ever since I started experiencing bladder leakage as a teenage athlete I was curious about why I was experiencing these debilitating and embarrassing symptoms when I hadn't even had children.

Age 17 my curiosity was sparked and I delved into years of learning, studying and working as a physiotherapist in a wide range of hospital, community and private settings. Within the first year of qualifying I knew I wanted to work particularly with clients in a similar to help them recover from pelvic floor/ pelvic health conditions. It is not just pregnant and post-pregnant people who experience these symptoms, teenagers through to post-menopausal people can struggle with symptoms such as pain, endometriosis, bladder urgency and leakage, constipation.... along with trauma after some vaginal and c-section births.

I spent several years work in paediatrics- from babies through to 18 year olds- rehabilitating from common sports injuries, supporting them with chronic pain and musucloskeletal problems that was hampering their quality of life. Pilates was a huge asset to my work - having trained in both matwork and reformer pilates over a decade ago, the principles and foundations are very much a part of my practice.

​

In more recent years, and 3 children later(!), I am still as passionate as ever but have learnt both personally and professionally that often we must look outside the 'traditional box' of physiotherapy to empower people to recover from their symptoms. This (w)holistic apporach to our bodies has actually widened who I see- yes pelvic health has a special place in my heart, but if you are struggling with persistent pain anywhere in your body, and you are open to considering an approach that is steeped in pain and neuroscience, but is less about 'hands-on' and more about you 'learning the language of your body and your nervous system' so that you can truly thrive and recover from persistent pain, then please do get in touch!
