Katie studied at Loughborough University, graduating in 1997 with a BSc Hons in PE & Sports Science/Social Science.

 She has 15 years experience as a Sports Therapist, over 25 years in the Health & Fitness industry, and is an accredited Women’s Health Specialist, supporting women holistically through peri- to post menopause. Katie has worked with, and taught 100’s of individuals, providing them with lasting solutions for their physical needs, ranging from musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, core rehabilitation; strength & fitness goals; weight loss, and freedom of movement restoration. 

 

As a Sports Therapist Katie uses functional movement analysis and exercise prescription, combined with a variety of Sports Therapy treatment modalities; including Myofascial Release, Dry Needling & Trigger Point Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques & Joint Mobilisations; to create targeted and restorative treatments that are as unique as the individual. 

 

Katie has specialised in recent years in women's health, with a particular interest in understanding the system changes that occur during the peri-to post menopause transition.  Using a biopsychosocial approach alongside movement, breath work and hands on therapy, Katie is able to help women understand nervous system awareness, resilience and regulation, bringing a sense of calm control and empowerment to their .journey                           

Through 1:1 sessions, or her 40-FY group exercise classes, Katie will coach and guide you to a more centred and grounded place, while increasing your energy levels, improving your muscle and bone strength, increasing your freedom of movement and reducing stress. 

She is dedicated to the notion that in order to understand who we are, we must view our minds and bodies as deeply interconnected. 

Blending the knowledge that her personal experience brings with her regular professional research reading, further qualifications in Women's Health for the 3rd Age (Diploma from Jenny Burrell Education), and ongoing CPD courses, Katie offers a wide range of healthcare services to support women in preparation for, and during this transformative stage of life.

She is passionate about educating all of her her clients on holistic health modalities, and aims to engage and motivate individuals to achieve their goals, and transform their lives.

 

 It is not enough to just survive as our estrogen levels diminish and along with it, our mental and physical health.

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

With over 15 years experience as a Sports Therapist and as an accredited Women’s Health Specialist, I’ve worked with and taught 100’s of individuals, providing them with real solutions for their most pressing concerns regarding musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, ‘core rehabilitation’,  strength & fitness, fat loss, and freedom of movement restoration.  I am passionate about the development and maintenance of physical and mental health and wellbeing, throughout all stages of life, and using soft tissue health modalities alongside movement and exercise prescription, I provide holistic treatments and programmes that are bespoke to each individual's needs, aims and objectives. ​

Lunge

SOFT TISSUE & MOVEMENT THERAPY

Level 4 Sports Therapist

The focus of many of my treatments are the common objectives of  freedom of movement and pain reduction. If not the result of a specific trauma/injury, these are often the result of dynamic postural dysfunction.

It is through the analysis of human movement, the hands on assessment of restrictions in fascia and other soft tissues, and the balance of strength and weaknesses and activation of muscles, that a truly holistic treatment can be offered. 

 

Movement prescription combined with a variety of Sports Therapy treatment modalities; including Myofascial Release, Dry Needling & Trigger Point Therapy, Muscle Energy Techniques & Joint Mobilisations; are blended to create treatments that are as unique as the individual.
