About
I trained at the University of Surrey Institute in Osteopathic Medicine and graduated in 2012. I have been running a private practice from home.
As well as treating, I promote awareness of how Osteopathy can help with your health by providing personal talks to communities and groups. If you would like more information click here.
People often ask do I enjoy what I do, I tend to smile because I am passionate about Osteopathy and have immense appreciation to those whom I have learnt from. Once a patient is away from the pain & discomfort, I enjoy seeing the results and hearing about the positive differences they have noticed in their life.
I also offer other complementary therapies so if you are simply looking for a more professional therapeutic difference to standard massages, MMW Osteopath is the place to book!
Therapies available:
Osteopathy
Western Medical Acupuncture
Antenatal/Postnatal Massage
Baby Massage & Learn Baby Massage
Hot stone Massage
Swedish Massage
Head, Neck and Shoulders
Indian Head Massage
Thai Foot Massage
The Practice

What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a Healthcare profession which focuses on diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of the Musculoskeletal disorders and other related disorders.
Osteopaths use a variety of specialised techniques in order to bring change to how your body behaves and functions; you can find more information regarding techniques and terminology in the Glossary.
There are different approaches in Osteopathy; Structural, Classical, Visceral and Cranial Osteopathy. Although they may differ, the aim of your treatments are the same; to reduce discomfort, increase mobility, manage pain control, encourage balance, ease and repair.
Here at MMW Osteopath I have been trained using all four approaches. Your treatment plans are tailored to your bodies specific needs.
What to expect
Your first appointment is between 45 minutes to 1 hour long with follow up appointments lasting for 30 minutes. You are welcome to bring someone with you to your appointment/s.
You may be required to remove some of your clothing, please say if you are uncomfortable with this. It is recommended that you bring shorts and a t-shirt or sports bra. Robes and towels are provided.
We will discuss your previous medical history, I will then complete a thorough examination, discuss concerns and a treatment plan based on my examination findings. We will discuss the benefits and any risks of treatment or adverse effects to treatment and will consult on a follow up appointment.
Consultation Process:
I will complete a re-assessment and will discuss recommendations regarding posture awareness and exercises. We will discuss what to expect after treatment and next steps. You will receive a Welcome Pack which contains helpful information and your "Just for you" card.
