Hi Im Michelle_edited.png

I am a mum of 2 and an experienced Advanced Exercise Rehabilitative Osteopath and ESSA Accredited Exercise Scientist who is passionate about all things health and fitness. I love using a whole person approach, incorporating both manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and strength and conditioning, to help you achieve optimum health and well-being.

With over 12 years of professional experience, I have a special interest in sports injury management and women's health, particularly pregnancy, post natal care and c-section recovery. Having a strong background in elite level sport, I understand the demands of athletic performance and recovery and have a practical hands-on approach to injury management and rehabilitation

 

Through my many years of practice treating pregnant and post natal women, and having delivered both of my own babies via c-section, I have seen first hand the significant lack of understanding in pre and post natal exercise advice, recovery and rehabilitation, particularly following birth via caesarean.

My aim is change this, by empowering women to feel confident and strong in their bodies throughout their pregnancy and post natal journey and beyond.
