Keeping your spine straight against the wall or lying flat on your back on the floor, gently push your tongue to the roof of your mouth and tuck the bottom of your jaw towards your neck.

I am very passionate about what I do and I feel there is nothing better than helping people recover from back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint, nerve, and muscle pain.

I use a variety of techniques including massage, dry needling, and manipulation to effectively treat these conditions and work not only by treating what is found to reduce the pain, but also identifies the underlying cause to reduce recurrence of the complaint.

I have always had a strong interest in health and fitness and have worked extensively in care work before training as a chiropractor.

I graduated with a Merit from a Masters degree in chiropractic after training at the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth. The institution is well renowned for having the best tutors and an extensive curriculum including: anatomy, diagnosis, functional rehabilitation, paediatrics, nutrition, pharmacology, and neurology.

All students undergo extensive clinical training, treating a wide range of patients and conditions. Furthermore I aided a local Rugby club providing pitch side assistance. I am especially interested in treating sports injuries and working with athletes.

I am a member of The International Federation of Sports Chiropractic, an Associate Member of the RCC Sports and Exercise Faculty,  paediatrics facility as well as the animal faculty and currently studying the ICCSP Sports Chiropractic certification. Additionally I have completed the PGCert APP in Paediatric Musculoskeletal Health at the AECC and last year qualified to treat horses and small animals with the International Association of Veterinary Chiropractic (IAVC).

I am a trained fitness instructor with a special interest in rehabilitative exercises. All new patients are given rehabilitative exercises and have the opportunity to participate in supervised rehabilitative exercises in a gym environment.

Additionally, after completing the AECC Diploma in dry needling and medical acupuncture and seeing amazing results using these techniques, I am continuing to  study Western Medical Acupuncture and am a registered member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society.

I have always been interested in healthcare, although not initially knowing what I wanted to work towards. After considering personal training, I was introduced to Chiropractic though my sister who was suffering from recurrent headaches. I was amazed at both the results shown from treatment and the wealth of knowledge the Chiropractor had, and I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.

In my personal life I take a great interest in healthy living, which is what originally drew me to study Chiropractic care. Across the course of my studies I have discovered that it is crucial to tailor care specifically for a patient rather than give a general care package to everyone.

You’ll often find me in the gym as I find a good workout can not only be good for the body but keep the mind in check, and I enjoy mixing up different routines to keep things fresh and prevent boredom from setting in.

I have an interest in drama and musical theater, regularly attending professional productions to top up my theatrical enjoyment.

I have recently graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic after studying for 5 years. I am very excited to put what I’ve learnt into practice and meet a variety of people.
