BSc(Hons), MSc (Chiro), DC
Registered Chiropractor

I graduated as a Chiropractor from The Anglo European College of Chiropractic, Bournemouth with a Masters in Chiropractic and I have worked locally ever since. I am looking forward to sharing my skills and experience with the people of Portsmouth and Southsea.
 
During my 10 years in practice I have enjoyed extending my knowledge and experience by attending many facinating Post Graduate courses. These have included:
  • Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT)
  • Paediatrics
  • Neurolink
  • Cranio-sacral Therapy and
  • Chirokinetic Therapy.
I am a family man and my partner and I are kept busy and entertained by our three children. My hobbies include classic cars, golf, skiing and sailing and karate.
 
You are welcome to come in just for a chat or to discuss your ongoing Chiropractic needs.  I look forward to meeting you.

MChiro, DC 
Registered Chiropractor
 
I graduated with distinction from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic and currently split my time between working in Bournemouth and Portsmouth.

As a keen sportswoman, I have a particular interest in sports chiropractic and rehabilitation and work closely with a local rugby team. I enjoy treating people and children of all ages, helping them to get out of pain and back to their daily activities.

With additional experience as a rehabilitation supervisor, I am also pleased to offer rehabilitative advice and exercises to those looking to stay injury-free and enhance their performance.

Outside of work, I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy playing tennis, squash or any sport I can turn my hand too!


Statutory Regulation of Chiropractors

The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is a UK-wide statutory body with regulatory powers, established by the Chiropractors Act 1994. It has four main duties:
  • To protect the public by establishing and operating a scheme of statutory regulation for chiropractors, similar to the arrangements that cover other health professionals
  • To set the standards of chiropractic education, practice and conduct
  • To ensure the development of the profession of chiropractic, using a model of continuous improvement in practice
  • To promote the profession of chiropractic so that its contribution to the health of the nation is understood and recognised
Since June 2001 the title of 'chiropractor' has been protected by law and it is a criminal offence, liable to prosecution, to describe oneself as any sort of chiropractor without being registered with the GCC.
