I am an experienced Equine Sports Therapist and Functional Osteopathy practitioner, passionate about enhancing the well-being and performance of horses. Born and raised in the UK, I’ve been fortunate to spend every summer in Portugal with my family, where I embraced the classical approach to horsemanship. This blend of experiences has shaped my holistic approach to both therapy and coaching.

My love for horses began as a child, and I count every day working with them as a true privilege. Through therapeutic treatments, I focus on both the maintenance and rehabilitation of injured horses, ensuring they remain comfortable and perform at their best. As a coach, I work with riders of all levels, helping them build strong, effective partnerships with their horses. I also offer seminars for horse owners and professionals, sharing valuable insights on horse care and communication.

I am dedicated to the welfare of horses and fostering better understanding between them and their riders, owners, and handlers. My goal is to improve performance, comfort, and longevity, not only preventing injuries but ensuring successful rehabilitation.
