Being an osteopath is enormously satisfying — it presents me with new challenges each week, as every person comes with an individual set of circumstances which result in that person being that way at that time — so each client’s problem is a conundrum that needs to be carefully worked out. It’s wonderful to see the relief that treatment can bring to someone in pain. When I’m not pondering osteopathic problems, I can often be found out walking or running with my dog, or driving my two teenagers to their many social engagements! I’m lucky enough to be able to help out at an Alzheimer’s Society Day Centre — a wonderful place; and I volunteer with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which regularly takes me out to enjoy the Surrey Hills — beautiful (even in the rain!)
