When a family member started struggling with their health, we saw first-hand how difficult the system can be to navigate – the frustration of being dismissed, trying to understand what exactly you’re being told, and feeling helpless when noone seems to be able to help.
It’s a big part of why we both became musculoskeletal specialists, and why, when the time came, we wanted to open a clinic of our own.
We wanted to create meaningful change to the lives of our patients through genuine, compassionate, and personalised care. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to live life on your own terms.
You deserve care that lifts you up, not lets you down.
I’m the founder of Southampton Chiropractic Clinic and a registered Chiropractor and Massage Therapist with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and British Chiropractic Association (BCA).
I grew up in Dorset as an active child who enjoyed dancing, sports, forest walks, and power boating – and from a very young age, I knew I wanted a career in healthcare.
I was 7-years-old when a close family member was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, underwent a 12-hour surgery, and ended up with lifelong complications and chronic pain. Navigating the healthcare system, I quickly recognised the challenges, barriers, and inequalities many people encounter, from gaslighting to negligence.
Inspired by my mother, our co-director Wenona, who returned to education to become the professional we needed, I chose to become a chiropractor. I moved to Southampton during my studies at the AECC University College (HSU Bournemouth) and graduated with a Master’s of Chiropractic (MChiro) degree – with additional qualifications in Sports Massage, Pregnancy Massage, and Medical Acupuncture (Dry Needling).
In 2025, Southampton Chiropractic Clinic was created to provide care that represented my values and dedication to ethical, evidence-based, and patient-centred services.
I once fell asleep standing, while on a 30-foot Apache powerboat, travelling 90 mph (78 knots).
When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me weightlifting, running with the Bedford Place Social Runners, reading, watching movies, and listening to music.
I love the Twilight Saga – and, I’m fully aware of how bad it is (but it’s amazing).
I work with people experiencing chronic/complex pain and acute injuries to rebuild confidence and return to work, hobbies, and exercise. I’m particularly interested in exercise rehabilitation and lifestyle coaching to support long-term recovery and independence.
I’m the co-director of Southampton Chiropractic Clinic and a registered Chiropractor with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and British Chiropractic Association (BCA).
Before becoming a chiropractor, I built a diverse and rewarding career – running businesses, founding and leading my own successful Muay Thai academy as an instructor, racing powerboats, and working within the healthcare sector, all while proudly raising four incredible children.
I later decided to return to education to support a close family member and others who are experiencing similar challenges navigating chronic pain and the healthcare system. I graduated with a Master’s of Chiropractic (MChiro) degree at the AECC University College (HSU Bournemouth), with additional qualifications in Remedial Massage, Sports Massage, Medical Acupuncture, and PG Cert in Health Sciences Education.
I’m now a Lecturer of Chiropractic and Foundation Year Course Lead at the Health Sciences University in Bournemouth, where I help educate and support the next generation of healthcare professionals.
I have a 3-legged greyhound called Marley and I went skydiving with the military.
When I’m not working, you can find me staying active, watching movies, reading, and playing games.
I have been playing Pokemon Go since 2016.
I’m particularly interested in pain management and supporting neurodivergent and disabled individuals.
I was born and raised in Islamabad, Pakistan, where I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Lahore. My journey into physiotherapy was inspired by my mother, who suffered from chronic back pain and sciatica. Watching her regain her mobility and confidence after just a few physiotherapy sessions showed me the incredible difference this profession can make in someone’s life. That experience inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others move better, feel stronger, and enjoy a better quality of life.
During my studies, I quickly developed a passion for working with patients and seeing the positive impact that rehabilitation can have. After graduating, I gained two years of clinical experience in a hospital in Pakistan, treating a wide range of patients and developing my practical skills.
In 2024, I moved to the UK after getting married, and I am excited to continue my career here, helping people achieve their rehabilitation goals while providing compassionate, patient-centred care. As with many musculoskeletal specialists, I have chosen to specialise in a specific patient group, dedicating my practice to women’s health and rehabilitation.
I’m a sleep-eating champion! Put a snack next to me when I’m exhausted and it’ll vanish overnight…and I’ll have zero memory of it. Bonus: I also give free sleep-time podcasts because I talk in my sleep!
My hobbies include cooking and exploring different cuisines, with a passion for learning and creating new recipes. I enjoy creative activities such as wedding dress designing, arts and crafts, and DIY projects, where I can express my creativity and attention to detail.
My guilty pleasure is shopping, I love discovering new outfits, especially dresses, and I can never resist adding something new to my wardrobe. I might be a bit of a fashion hoarder, but I believe every piece has its own story.
My clinical interest lies in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy for women, particularly in the assessment and rehabilitation of MSK conditions. I have a strong passion for exercise therapy, functional rehabilitation, mobilisation techniques, and manual therapy. I find it rewarding to see how these interventions can improve my patients’ pain, movement and quality of life. I am especially interested in conditions such as sciatica and frozen shoulder, back pain and shoulder injuries where targeted rehabilitation can make a significant difference.
I’m Marley the 3-legged greyhound. I’m highly skilled in sniffathons and lounging around. I used to be much faster as a puppy, but no I choose to take things at a more leisurely pace (apart from the occasional zoomies).
You can sometimes find me at the clinic with Wenona, who I live with.
Despite having 3 legs, I was once the fastest dog on the block.
I’m interested in inspiring anyone who might feel they are unable to achieve, especially if they are an amputee like me.
