About me
I’m Kerri, an award-winning osteopath and Pilates instructor based in Gloucestershire. I specialise in paediatric care and chronic or persistent pain, and I’m passionate about helping people move with confidence and clarity.
With a background in higher education, I’ve taught and supervised healthcare students across undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including at Europe’s largest osteopathic children’s clinic.
My approach blends clinical expertise with warmth, creativity, and a genuine love of learning.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy dancing, crafting, and being in nature - activities that keep me grounded and energised. I also teach ChiChi Fit, a Broadway-inspired dance fitness class that brings joy and movement to all ages.
Whether I’m in the studio or the treatment room, I aim to make people feel heard, supported, and inspired.
"Kerri made me feel completely safe and at ease from the moment I arrived. She explained everything clearly so I felt well informed about what she was doing and why. She listened carefully to my concerns and suggested treatment for my neck and other areas that I hadn’t realised were connected. I left feeling lighter, more comfortable, and confident in her care. Highly recommend.."
"Kerri is absolutely the best osteopath I have ever met and had treatment from. She has changed my life for the better and given me a new perspective on dealing with pain and of how the body works. Just brilliant!"
"Very thorough, taking in consideration the past history and focusing on the current issue. I couldn’t recommend Kerri more, she offers so much insight every time and I’ve always recovered soon after the session."
What I offer
Every session is tailored to you. You’ll find I’m understanding, caring, and positive - always working hard to identify and explain the root cause of your symptoms in a way that’s simple and easy to understand.
I take time to listen, assess your whole body, and explore how different factors may be contributing to your pain or discomfort.
Treatment may include hands-on osteopathy, personalised rehabilitation, Pilates-based exercises and lifestyle advice to help you feel better, move more freely and stay well. My aim is to get you back to doing what you love - quickly and confidently - with the fewest sessions necessary.
Whether you're seeking support for chronic pain, postnatal recovery, or paediatric care, I offer a warm, professional space where you feel heard, supported and empowered.
"Thank you SO much for the professionalism, expertise, care and support. I could never repay you for what you have done to help me in my recovery."
"Kerri was sympathetic, confident, knowledgeable, experienced and very professional. My pain and exercises were well explained and easy to follow with prompt email info. I felt I was in very capable hands and would recommend Kerri to anyone in need of help for injuries of any kind"
"I have always received a fantastic service from Kerri. She listens to my problem and very clearly understood exactly what I needed because I always leave feeling strong, flexible and refreshed."
