Dry needling is the western form of acupuncture, used only in the treatment for pain and movement issues associated with myofascial trigger points.

During a dry needling treatment, one or more thin, monofilament needles are inserted into a muscle or trigger point to reduce its irritable and dysfunctional effect on muscle tissue. This often emerges because of injury, overuse or poor movement patterns.

When dry needling is applied to an affected muscle or trigger point, it can decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.
It works with the structure and function of the body and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.

Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Until the age of 20 I was a ballerina, so spent my childhood dancing. In the later years I was plagued with injuries to my feet. So, having had regular sports and physiotherapy, I decided to retire the dancing idea and retrain in the only other thing I had experience in… therapy.

While studying at The University of Chichester, I was fortunate enough in my first year, 2008, to be offered a job while on placement at Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.

I continued working with BHAFC after graduating in 2011 and in 2013 bit the bullet left the football club and went into the world of private practice at The Heeler Centre, Hassocks and whilst building a private client base also split my time in the NHS.

I wasn’t quite ready to completely give up on working in team sports, so I joined Haywards Heath Rugby Club as clinical lead for 3 seasons.

In 2017 I was prepared to stop standing on the sidelines and leave the NHS and began treating at The Heeler Centre full time, then, in December 2019 began managing the clinic…as well as still treating 6 days a week!

I’m still treating 6 days a week, however now its within my own two practices at Sea Lanes & Shoreham Port because as of July 2024, I decided it was time to start expanding beachside into its own clinic and start creating my own clinical team of multidisciplinary practitioners!

When I’m not treating you’ll find me swimming or surfing with my Leonberger lifeguard Lola Bear, organising a, or going on holiday!
