I qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1995, with a BSC (hons) from Brunel University. Having known from an early age I wanted to work with children I then specialised in paediatrics in 1997. My career has predominantly been within the NHS in the acute, community and special schools. Funnybones Children’s Physiotherapy was founded in 2001 when I had 2 young children as work could be fitted around family life. In 2016, I trained as an IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) instructor and added baby massage to my portfolio.
