I am passionate about people and providing support , advice and treatments to be able to help people lives the lives they would like to be able to live.

Poor health, illness and disability can have such a profound and lasting impact on people, its hugely important to provide support and advice at this point of need.

When I was thirteen, my life changed suddenly with a diagnosis of Juvenile Chronic Arthritis. Until then, movement had been at the heart of everything I loved — horse riding, ballet, and playing in goals for my school hockey team. Almost overnight, the freedom I found in my body disappeared. Pain, stiffness, and fatigue took its place, and the world I knew became much smaller and far more challenging.

During a hospital stay in Glasgow, I met an Occupational Therapist for the first time. The experience was difficult in many ways, and it left a lasting impact. I remember thinking that people deserved more compassion, more understanding, and more support than I felt I received. Even at that young age, I knew that if I ever had the chance, I wanted to offer others something better.

That moment planted the seed for the work I do today. It led me towards a career in Occupational Therapy — a profession rooted in helping people rebuild confidence, restore function, and reconnect with the activities that give life meaning. Over the years, this belief has guided everything I do: that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported to live the fullest life they can

I have spent the last 30 years practicing as an Occupational Therapist. However, the last 4 years have for most people been incredibly difficult and it was during this time I started to diversify in my therapeutic activities.

I began my Reiki training in 2019 and also practiced Meditation throughout this time. Latterly I have gained qualifications in Meditation and have found immense joy in not only practicing this but running groups to support people on a similar journey. I have completed Level I & II of my Reiki training and am almost complete in Level III training.

In 2023 I qualified as an Equine Facilitated Therapist and managed to to find a unique way of combining a passion of horses with my training as an occupational Therapist. 

In 2025 I also became certified as a Mental Health First Aider.

In 2026 I completed a Yin Yoga 100 hour Teacher Training course and am starting to use this learning in classes each week.

I am a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) , I also hold membership with the RCOT Specialist Section -  in Independent Practice (RCOTSS-IP) and the Allied Health Professions regulatory Body the  Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), I also a member of Equine Assisted Occupational Therapy - UK (EAOT-UK).
