Training, qualifications & experience

I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2004, progressing her NHS career to Musculoskeletal Clinical Specialist level, dealing with a broad spectrum of complex musculoskeletal conditions.

I have been qualified to perform acupuncture since 2008 and also completed a Master of Research degree in 2013 where the focus of my research was into the prevention and management of pregnancy-related back pain and pelvic girdle pain. I have published this research in an international peer-reviewed journal and has also published papers on the use of acupuncture in pregnancy. I am a member of the peer-reviewed panel of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists, I have worked as an external lecturer at the University of Liverpool and am currently undertaking a PhD study at the University of Central Lancashire, continuing my work exploring the prevention of pregnancy-related back pain and pelvic girdle pain.
