Meet The Team

Sports Massage

I have been a massage therapist since 2002. Over the years I have worked in hotels, salons and most recently here at County Chiropractic and Wellness Centre as a Sports Massage Therapist. I enjoy my work very much, especially when it comes to helping my clients feel better and when I am learning from other people.

When I am not massaging I like to do yoga, walk, read and spend time with my son, who likes to play and watch football, especially Exeter City. I prefer Liverpool!

Sports Massage Therapist / Rehabilitation

As a dedicated Sports Massage Therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients experience immediate pain relief, improve mobility, and also find relaxation and stress relief. I love seeing the positive impact that sports massage has on both the body and the mind, helping clients return to their favourite activities and day to do life feeling rejuvenated.

Alongside sports massage, I also provide musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clients dealing with injuries. This means that, in these cases, I integrate sports massage with exercise-based rehab to ensure a comprehensive and personalised recovery plan, helping clients get back to the activities they love.

Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with family, in the gym or following Torquay United Football Club.

Clinic Assistant

I have always had an interest in holistic and alternative treatments, receiving chiropractic and massage treatments for years. I visit the gym regularly and have completed numerous half-marathons. I am very driven and always like to have a sporting goal to work towards.

I am a people person and thrive on interaction. After working in admin in a garage environment for 16 years, I decided to try something more aligned to my personality. I enjoy working in a friendly, calming environment and being part of a close-knit team.

I love spending time with my crazy dog Frank and have an out of hand obsession with house plants!

Practice Manager

I started out in chiropractic by being a client and became a Clinic Assistant after seeing an advert at my local chiropractor’s clinic. I worked with him for five years until he moved his practice to another town and had to let me go. I really loved my work and didn’t want to look for a different type of job, I just wanted to stay in chiropractic! Luckily, County Chiropractic heard that I was available and took me on.

I have now been in chiropractic & wellness for ten years and have worked my way up from Clinic Assistant to Senior Assistant, Assistant Manager and now to my present role of Practice Manager. In this role I help the clinic run like the well-oiled machine that it is! I am dedicated to supporting the team by helping them learn and develop. I take care of our clients by being friendly, professional and thoroughly organised.

I get adjusted regularly so I can enjoy my swimming and being outdoors with my animals. I love floating in the clinic’s floatation therapy tank because of my affinity with water.

MSc Hons Chiropractor

Having been bred in the green fields of the Devon countryside, I have always enjoyed physical hands on activity and sport which has brought with it a fair share of injuries. It was this that first introduced me to the Chiropractic profession and opened my eyes to the benefits Chiropractic can bring to people restricted in life by injury and pain. 

After deciding to join the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic I continued to enjoy physical pursuits, aside from my studies, which has naturally lead to an interest in preventing and treating sports injuries. However, the most rewarding part has been utilising the ‘diversified’ Chiropractic approach to help people get back doing the things most important in their own lives. 
Before joining County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre I spent 2 ½ years gaining priceless experience with a team of chiropractors in Leicester and Mansfield. I also worked with the professional athletes at Leicester Riders basketball team where I was relied upon to speed their return from injury and improve performance by reducing pain and improving function.

I am very excited to be back working in my home County.

BSc Hons Chiropractor

I recently graduated with a first-class degree from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC), where I was also awarded the Clinical Excellence Year Prize.

My journey into chiropractic care began in my teens when traditional therapy provided little benefit for my recurring sports injuries. After witnessing the positive impact chiropractic treatment had on my family’s long-term health issues, I sought care for myself and found significant relief for a persistent neck problem caused by a diving accident. This inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic.

I employ a range of treatment modalities including spinal manipulative therapy, joint mobilisations, various soft tissue techniques and tailored rehabilitation programmes. In addition to my chiropractic degree, I hold a Level 3 extended diploma in sports massage, adding an extra dimension to my treatment approach.

Injuries and pain can significantly impact daily activities, but I am dedicated to helping patients of all ages achieve optimal health and return to the activities they love. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to reach their personal goals, whether it may be running a marathon, playing with grandchildren, or simply enjoying a walk to the local shops.

Outside of clinic life, I enjoy spending time on my family farm in Mid Devon and have a keen interest in sports, particularly football and cricket

Director / Holistic Massage Therapist / Functional Integrated Dry Needling (FIDN) Practitioner

As an empathetic and open-minded Massage Therapist I am able to engage quickly with my clients, allowing them to relax in my presence.  With a Holistic Massage qualification and four years experience of working in wellness centres I am able to offer a calm, yet therapeutic, treatment.  My passion in helping people achieve a balance of physical and mental health is fueled by my own previous injuries, that are now maintained through regular check ups with our fantastic team of practitioners. 

Throughout my 10 years of working as a Massage Therapist I have been fascinated by fascia and its role in pain and the healing process. Fascia has an incredible ability to hold on to emotional and physical traumas and I have seen first hand how massage for the fascia can release these restrictions.  I felt the next logical step in my career was to become an FIDN therapist, what better way to alter the fascia than with needles!  FIDN is very specific and gains a deep response from the body, sometimes immediately, which is why I am so passionate about this technique.

When I’m not massaging or working ‘behind the scenes’ I enjoy walking our dog and doing pilates classes.  These activities keep my brain and body healthy and happy, and I couldn’t ask for more!

Sports & Swedish Massage Therapist

Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage Therapist

Massage has been a part of my life since I was around 8 years old. I would give my Mum massages regularly and she has always told me I have healing hands. As I got older I would massage friends and other family members. I began to realise massage was my calling and in 2023 I qualified with a Holistic Massage Diploma from Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork. My love for helping people feel better physically and mentally is what pushes me to be a fantastic massage therapist.

I have a love for cooking as my Mum is a nutritionist. When I’m not massaging at County Chiropractic and Wellness Centre you can catch me in the team room reading a good book! I love the outdoors and will often be on the beach, walking my dog (or other peoples’!) or running.

Sports Massage & Rehabilitation Therapist

I have a degree in Sports Therapy,  being able to get people back to full health and fitness through my treatment is one of the main reasons I chose this career. Due to playing sport myself I understand the challenges that come with injuries, so being able to guide my clients in the right direction brings me great joy.

I really enjoy playing sport, particularly hockey, and being outdoors.

Director

In my former life as a business manager for large hospitality companies I was employed to look after the finance, customers and team members. Having enjoyed much success over the 8 years I spent as a manager I made the move in September 2017 to transfer those skills to County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre as a Director, alongside my partner, Laura.

The majority of my time is spent making sure the engine of County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre runs smoothly and our clients are well cared for.  I believe that looking after myself will enable me to better look after others that I am responsible for, be it friends and family or the amazing team of professionals working at County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre.

My passions in life are all things to do with the stock market, and finance in general. I read quite a lot of books on anything from self-help to Dark Fantasy. I try to stay fit and healthy by walking as much as possible, swimming and eating home-cooked food, I love to cook.
