Hello, I’m Kate, I’m a holistic physiotherapist, digital healthcare researcher, and yoga therapist. Things that make me happy include coffee, cats, long walks, and flying trapeze.
I started out in academia doing alternative energy research and have a PhD in Chemistry. However, I left in 2014 to retrain as a yoga teacher and later as a physio. While academia gave me some fantastic life experiences, including time living in the US and Belgium, I wanted a career where I was able to help people more directly and share my love of movement.
The transition was definitely challenging but so worth it! I set up my own physio practice in 2019 and I love being able to help people to take back control of their own health and wellbeing.
From my own experience healing myself from chronic pain I know how frustrating it can be to have your life restricted by pain. Especially if the only treatments offered are drugs or generic exercises. However, I also know how powerful the body’s healing mechanisms are, when harnessed correctly and how to do this effectively.
Treating from home gives me the freedom to spend longer with my clients so I really understand their needs and can create effective, bespoke treatment plans as a result. My holistic treatments draw on a combination of my scientific, clinical, yogic and lived experience, working with the body on many levels.
