I have always been drawn to the way the human body moves and recovers. With my background in trampolining and coaching, I was able to witness the body’s capabilities through movement whilst understanding the forces and physical strains placed upon athletes and their joints, leading me to develop a deeper awareness within this field.
Sports therapy captured my attention because it combined my love for sport with a passion for helping others heal and perform at their best. There is something incredibly rewarding about assisting someone with their aches and pains, seeing their confidence return and knowing I played a part in that journey.
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation from the University of Derby in 2024. During my studies I was offered a visit to the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, where I became inspired by the rehabilitation techniques and different forms of physical therapy available for patients. This experience broadened my knowledge and deepened my interest in injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
My clinical toolkit includes sports massage, cupping therapy, Graston Technique, kinesiology taping, Indian head massage, hot stone massage, and structured rehabilitation programmes. I tailor every session to the individual, combining hands-on treatment with education and encouragement to support both physical and mental recovery.
What I love most about sports therapy is that it is never just physical — it is emotional and mental too. People often come in feeling defeated and frustrated, but through consistent work and encouragement I get to witness their transformation firsthand. Every story is different, and that ensures everyone receives personalised guidance. This keeps me learning, growing and adapting every day.
