I’m a GOsC-registered osteopath with a Master of Osteopathy and a Diploma in Naturopathy from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I later returned to teach. As an osteopathy tutor there, I lectured on soft tissue and osteopathic technique and mentored student practitioners, an experience that continues to shape my own standards of clinical safety and communication. My aim is simple: evidence-based care that puts your health first.

Care Shaped by International Experience

My approach to care was shaped long before osteopathy, when I worked as Senior Cabin Crew and a Training Ambassador for a premium UK long-haul airline. Working around the world taught me to stay calm under pressure, adapt to every person I meet and put people at ease, and I bring that same care into every appointment.

A decade ago I turned my passion for anatomy, physiology and healthcare into a career, training first at the London School of Massage and then in osteopathy at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Experience

Trusted backstage and in five-star care

Since 2021 I’ve joined tours with major West End musicals across the UK and Europe, treating performers and crew backstage to keep them moving well through demanding show schedules. I’ve worked on Top Hat, The King and I, Dreamgirls, Grease and The Book of Mormon, among others.

I’ve also worked as a visiting practitioner at a luxury medical spa within a five-star resort on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, caring for guests and residents from around the world. I bring the same level of care and attention to every session at The Therapy Loft.

Movement & Lifestyle

Outside the clinic, I love travel and the performing arts. I’m a keen cyclist and an advocate for movement, so I understand the demands an active life puts on the body.

I live in Dulwich and feel at home in South London. I’d love to help you build strength and resilience, so you can get back to doing what you love with confidence and ease.
