About Me
I have always loved animals & have been around them from a very early age. My family share my passion for animals & this reflects the wide variety of pets we have had over the years - horses, dogs, cats, hens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigeons, fish, hamsters, mice, rats even a tortoise!! Not to mention the rescued wildlife that seems to find its way to our door somehow!!
It seemed only natural to me to want to work with animals & be around them each & every day. I looked into a number of career choices at secondary school & became aware of Animal Physiotherapy. With this to aim for, I went on to complete a Human Sports Therapy Diploma before studying Human Physiotherapy at Degree level qualifying in 2004. My ambition of becoming a Veterinary Physiotherapist was realised in December 2008 when I gained my Post Graduate Diploma from the Royal Veterinary College.
I have been riding for over 25 years & competed at local level dressage & showing prior to my Veterinary Physiotherapy training but I stopped to enable me to concentrate all my efforts into my study. I am now planning on getting back in the saddle & starting affiliated dressage with my own horses. Just when they thought they had retired!
I like to feel that my Specialist Physiotherapy skills, knowledge & experience alongside my compassion for animals & my quiet manner, gives both the animal & you as the owner, a caring, quality & effective professional service.
