MEET YOUR THERAPIST

Hi, I’m Rae

I’m a Personal Trainer, Sports Massage Therapist and Pre & Post Natal Coach.

I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over 10 years, and after recovering from my own injury, found my specialism in injury rehabilitation.

After rupturing my Anterior Cruciate Ligament playing football in 2017, many operations later, I worked alongside physiotherapists to recover. This helped me increase my knowledge of injury rehab and prevention, which I wanted to make accessible to more people.

I have since worked with a range of clients, with different injuries, including hip replacements, knee replacements, osteoarthritis, PCOS, ME and hypermobility,

I am passionate about helping people to understand their own bodies, their health conditions, and how to live pain-free. I can help you reduce pain and symptoms, regain function and mobility, and future-proof your body.

"I regularly go on walks and started getting pain in the back of my ankle which I thought was due to some new walking boots.

When I realised it wasn’t the boots, I reached out to Rae and after one sports massage she relieved tension in my calf and I haven’t had the pain since!

Life changing, get booked in"
