Following a degree in Physiology & Pharmacology at Cambridge University, Helena spent 12 years in the IT industry before finding her true calling as an Osteopath, taking a second degree in Osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy (now the University College of Osteopathy), where she subsequently taught Osteopathic Technique for several years.
In practice for over 20 years using a variety of osteopathic approaches and with special expertise in cranial osteopathy for babies & adults, as well as helping her patients do more with less pain and feel more comfortable in their own skin, Helena currently sits on the disciplinary panel for osteopaths at their regulator, the General Osteopathic Council, which protects the public & maintains standards in Osteopathy.
Helena also facilitates learning, networking and collaboration of osteopaths and other musculo-skeletal practitioners throughout Dorset as Chair of the Dorset Osteopathic Group which provides CPD (continuing professional development). She is a member of the Institute of Osteopathy (formerly the British Osteopathic Association).
