Joelle's osteopathic ambitions started in childhood: " I grew up in a place where recognised manual therapies of any kind were very hard to come by. Seeing my family members frequently plagued with severe back pain, I was astounded by the hopelessness of it all: no answer, no cure, no solution. I was only a few years old but I already felt compelled to help... When I came across osteopathy, I knew immediately it was for me - I'd been hearing the "calling" from a young age but now it had a name." In time, Joelle graduated with an integrated master degree in Osteopathy from the prestigious European School of Osteopathy(ESO) where she received the Elsevier Research Group Prize for her dissertation research on the Effect of Touch on Pain Perception. She was subsequently asked to present her research at the Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Physiotherapy annual conference. Joelle has a love for learning and her interest are diverse but include Nutrition, Exercise, Yoga, Psychology and various others. She is especially fascinated by the interactions and the inter-play of all those fields and their impact on health and recovery.
