Starting her career at a private clinic for orthopaedics and sports rehabilitation in Oberstdorf, South Germany, she worked alongside an orthopaedic consultant, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal/ orthopedic and associated disorders as well as offering post operative rehabilitation.

In 2000 she started traveling the world, completing several contracts as Physio and Sports Massage Therapist on a variety of cruise ships, before moving to Austria, where she gained further experience and training whilst working in a private physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre. Moving to the UK in 2004, she became self-employed providing treatments at her home clinic and, on a voluntary basis, at a local charity. She continued her studies with a 3½ years degree course in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, from which she qualified in 2009 with a BSc (Hons).
