I earned my chiropractic qualification from Johannesburg University in South Africa in 2005, and immediately headed to the UK to start my career. My journey began in North Nottinghamshire, where I spent five years honing my skills at a highly successful clinic owned by a close friend and associate. Ready for my next challenge, I purchased the Chiropractic Wellness Centre in Hucclecote, Gloucester. In 2015 I sold the centre and began setting up a new practice at St Luke’s Therapy Centre, an anthroposophical therapy centre based in Stroud.
My own experience as a chiropractic patient led me to train as a chiropractor. That personal experience informs my interest in listening carefully to each patient; it does not predict anyone else’s treatment results.
I use a range of manual and soft-touch approaches, selected according to the assessment and the person’s preferences. I explain proposed care before treatment begins.
Assessment and reassessment are central to my approach. Progress varies, and I review whether to continue, change the plan or recommend another professional.
I also give talks and offer spinal screenings at local events. A screening is not a diagnosis or a substitute for an appropriate clinical consultation.
On the personal front, I am blessed with a happy marriage, a wonderful wife named Andy, and our two lovely children – our son, Chad, born in 2007, and our vibrant daughter, Clara, born in 2012.
