I have extensive hands-on experience working with performance horses across various disciplines, including showjumpers, eventers, and racehorses.
I'm a qualified veterinary physiotherapist (equine and canine) with experience in both long-term rehabilitation and mobile physio services
My background includes grooming, stable and yard management, riding and exercising horses, as well as identifying and reporting lameness or clinical signs.

I currently work as a Equine Rehabilitation Center manager and head physiotherapist as well as a Quarantine Facility manager.
I also currently do mobile veterinary physiotherapy, treating horses and dogs with a variety of needs—from injury recovery and post-operative rehabilitation to performance maintenance.
My manager role includes running both centers and being in charge of orders, feeding, grooms, rehabilitation of horses, assisting vets in diagnostics and treatment, administering medicine prescribed by the vets, monitoring horses for any clinical signs indicating an issue, riding and lunging the rehabilitation horses.
My physio work includes manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise prescription, and detailed assessments.
