I'm an award-winning osteopath who graduated with distinction from the University College of Osteopathy (UCO, formerly the BSO). Naturally curious, I'm always learning. I have completed additional pain and paediatric osteopathy training, including placements in the UCO's children's clinic and Melbourne, Australia.
Since graduation, I have educated osteopaths through lecturing, clinical supervision, and as module leader for Practical Skills at the UCO. I now teach locally, training other allied health professionals on degree courses.
I love to dance, from ballet to hip-hop, in my free time. I'm also creative, whether it's crafting or cooking.
"Having never visited an Osteopath for back pain before, I wasn't sure what to expect or even if Osteopathy was the right path to go down. I was looked after by Kerri who reassured me she could help and took the time to really understand my problem and was really encouraging about my chances of recovery which in itself was well worth the investment. We only had 2 x sessions together but with the with the treatment at the practice and the exercise programme to take away (and was emailed to me the same day) I very quickly saw signs of improvement and now have full movement and am pain free as a result."
I love my vocation and that every day is different – treating all ages and abilities, whether helping with sporting injuries, dancers and performing artists, osteoarthritis, or general aches and pains.
I aim to get you back to doing the things you love. Seeing people improve their well-being is one of the best parts of my job.
You will find I am understanding, caring, positive and always working hard to identify and explain the cause of your complaint. I'll look at various areas and techniques, including rehab, exercises, lifestyle advice and hands-on treatment to help you identify the best plan for you.
"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."
"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."
