Practitioner Background

I have been a keen animal lover for as far back as I can remember and have been involved with their care and attention for many years. I have developed this passion over the years for pleasure and also in a professional capacity.

I began my formal training at Sheffield Hallam University where I studied for a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science. I then went on to complete an MSc in Applied Equine Science at The Royal Agricultural College, before joining the McTimoney College, from where I qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Animal Manipulation (validated by the University of Wales).

During this time i also undertook several BHS exams and qualified as an equine sports massage therapist. I then went onto further study with the NAVP and gained my qualification in Veterinary Physiotherapy (Advanced Diploma). I now use these skills to work on animals in the West Midlands, Worcestershire and surrounding areas.

I am based at New House Farm Equestrian Centre which I own and manage. The centre is now home to a range of equestrian facilities to include Clent Hills Veterinary Group Equine Hospital, a 40 X 60 all-weather manege, 'The Tack Room' Equestrian Shop and stabling for DIY and livery horses.
