I care deeply about providing treatment that feels thoughtful, individual and genuinely helpful.  Whether someone is coming with pain, fatigue, stress related symptoms or a more complex health picture, my aim is always to offer calm, practical care centred around the person as a whole.

My Story 

I am originally from Manchester in the UK, and grew up there before going on to university in the south of England.  I am married, have three children, and family life remains a very important part of who I am.

I have always been drawn to health, movement and wellbeing.  From an early age, I was interested in sport, fitness and understanding how the body works, which eventually led me into chiropractic and, later, functional medicine.

Abu Dhabi has played a significant role in my professional journey.  I first moved here in 2013 and built a busy and rewarding practice, working with a wide range of patients and becoming part of the local community.  Later, we took a year out to travel together as a family, which was a very special and memorable chapter in our lives.  I now continue to live and work in Abu Dhabi with my family.

Outside of practice, I value family life, time outdoors, staying active, and continuing to learn and grow.  These parts of life matter deeply to me, and they also shape the calm, thoughtful and grounded way I aim to care for others.

How I Discovered Chiropractic 

My path into chiropractic began through personal experience.  As a teenager, I went through a period of injury, pain and physical limitation, and it was through chiropractic care that I saw first hand the difference the right treatment can make.

That experience stayed with me. It shaped not only my own recovery, but also the way I began to think about health, function and the body’s capacity to heal when given the right support.

It was the starting point for what became my career.  I was drawn to the combination of hands on treatment, clinical reasoning and the opportunity to help people in a meaningful and lasting way.

Expanding My Approach Through Functional Medicine

As my clinical experience grew, I found myself increasingly drawn to the wider picture of health.  Many people were dealing with concerns such as fatigue, digestive issues, stress, hormone related symptoms, inflammation and more complex chronic patterns that could not always be fully understood through physical symptoms alone.

Functional Medicine gave me a more comprehensive framework for exploring these issues in greater depth.  It brought together lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress, environment and underlying physiology in a way that felt both clinically useful and deeply aligned with how I wanted to practise.

For me, it was a natural evolution, allowing me to support patients not only through hands on care, but through a broader, more personalised understanding of health as a whole.

My Approach 

My approach is thoughtful, individual and centred around the person as a whole.  I look beyond symptoms alone, taking into account history, lifestyle, stress, sleep, movement and the wider factors that may be shaping health over time.

Whether I am working through chiropractic, functional medicine, or both, my aim is to understand what is driving the problem and what is most likely to help.  I value careful assessment, clear clinical reasoning and treatment that is purposeful, practical and tailored to the individual.

I believe good care should feel calm, collaborative and grounded.  My role is to help people make better sense of their health and move forward with a plan that is clear, realistic and personalised.

Who I Work With

I work with a wide range of patients, including babies, children, adults, families and professionals with busy, high demand lives.  Some come with more straightforward musculoskeletal issues, while others are dealing with longer standing or more complex health concerns.  Whatever the starting point, my aim is always to provide care that is thoughtful, individual and tailored to the person in front of me.
