I began my career training with the YMCA as a personal trainer and fitness instructor and have taught a huge variety of exercise classes, including weights, fitness sessions, circuits, pre- and post-natal classes, step classes, stretching classes, various aqua classes and Pilates.
I set up a GP referral scheme for local fitness centres whereby local GP’s could refer patients that they felt would benefit from a structured gentle exercise programme, appropriate to their health condition.
I bring this experience to my work today and love to work on a rehab exercise programme with my patients.
After I trained in Osteopathy in the 1980’s, I joined the Alpha Clinic to work alongside my father. I had always been interested in the clinic, having been brought up in this environment so this was a natural progression that encompassed my ‘health and fitness’ background.
“My passion is to use osteopathy and chiropractic techniques to support people through their pain and to help them understand the nature of their injury or condition. I believe in empowering my patients with the knowledge and the tools to move through life in a better way than when they first walked in the door.”

Here in Devon, I work with a variety of people, from the elderly to younger patients, with elite sportspeople and those struggling with the aches and pains of daily life. Whether you are recovering from injury or would like help to manage chronic pain, I can bring a range of techniques and wide experience to create an individual treatment plan and exercise advice that’s tailored to you.
I am also trained in earwax removal, using safe methods of microsuction and warm water irrigation.
