Professional Profile
I’m a clinical specialist in men’s and women’s health physiotherapy with over 18 years of experience. I lead the pelvic health and oncology service at Kent’s largest private hospital, KIMS. I provide expert, individualised care for a range of conditions, including incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, postnatal recovery, constipation, menopause, and gynaecological or cancer prehabilitation and rehabilitation. I’m dedicated to helping patients reduce symptoms and improve their quality of life through tailored treatment.
