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 was a regular visitor to County Chiropractic for several years before having the opportunity to become a Clinic Assistant, having monthly chiropractic adjustments and massage to help me stay fit and well. When I was looking for a change in career it was serendipitous that an opening came up in the clinic.

Being a Clinic Assistant is extremely rewarding, supporting our fantastic team of practitioners as they help so many people return to and stay in good health, as well as having the opportunity to get to know our guests.

I was first introduced to Chiropractic in January 2011; I was working on a cruise liner as a Personal Trainer and injured my right ankle whilst surfing in Hawaii.  I attended a stretch class where a Chiropractor asked if she could assess me. To my absolute amazement the single adjustment she performed on my ankle removed my pain and I was able to walk freely without crutches. From this point onwards I had a clear path that I wanted to follow, and so, over the following 5 years, I obtained an Access to Higher Education Diploma which allowed me to start the Masters’ Degree in Chiropractic.  In the summer of 2016, I qualified as a Doctor of Chiropractic.

When I found a job application at County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, I knew immediately this was the place where I wanted to use my knowledge and skills, but also continue to learn from an excellent team of people. Now that I’ve got that opportunity, my dream job has become a reality.

I gained my education and work experience in Croatia where I have attained the degree of Bachelor of Physiotherapy as well as high school degree of Beauty Therapy. I have expanded my work experience while working in a beauty salon, at the Clinical Hospital Centre and at the Health Centre, have even started a small business where I was providing Massage Therapy and Physiotherapy services to the general public.

I have been a certified massage therapist for the past twelve years. Living my purpose of helping people with a passion to aid them reach their optimum physical wellness.

In the U.S.A., where I lived for twenty five years, I received a broad and varied education in massage therapy which helps me fulfil my purpose for helping others. I endeavour to be the best I can be daily, with a goal of making a difference in someone’s life in a caring way, always in a professional manner.

A world traveller, who loves any form of dancing, fitness and whenever possible walking trails.

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.

Developing my skills and knowledge as a Massage Therapist at County Chiropractic & Wellness Centre has created many leadership opportunities for me, including becoming a Director.  Myself and my partner, Alan, took over the business in September 2017 and have been working hard to create an exceptional health and wellness centre in Exeter.  Our aim is to provide various therapies under one roof yet come together as a team to deliver them.
