I grew up in Bath, England, where sport was a huge part of my life from an early age. Football, rugby, running around outdoors, if it involved movement, I was usually doing it.

My Chiropractic Journey
My journey into chiropractic started on a rugby field.

During a game, I suffered a hernia that completely changed the direction of my life. At the time, I was passionate about sport and being active, and suddenly I found myself dealing with pain, frustration, and uncertainty about what came next.

Looking back, it was a difficult period. Like many people who walk into a healthcare clinic for the first time, I felt stuck. I wasn't able to do the things I loved in the way I wanted to, and I found myself searching for answers.

That search eventually led me to chiropractic care.

What began as an attempt to get my own health back on track quickly became a fascination with the human body and its incredible ability to adapt, recover, and function. The more I learned, the more I realised I wanted to spend my life helping other people experience that same transformation.

That decision led me to chiropractic university and ultimately to a career that I genuinely love.

Helping Others Move Better
Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life. I've worked with athletes pursuing ambitious performance goals, professionals navigating the stresses of busy careers, parents wanting more energy for their families, and people who simply want to feel like themselves again. Seeing someone achieve a goal they once thought was out of reach never gets old.

My goal has always been to provide the highest quality care possible while helping people understand that health is about more than just getting out of pain. It's about creating the opportunity to recover better, move better, and be fully present with the things that make life meaningful.

Life Outside the Clinic
Outside the clinic, you'll usually find me playing football, training jiu-jitsu, hiking, watching sport, or confidently sacrificing a chess piece before realising it was part of absolutely no strategy whatsoever.

Why The Third Space
After moving to Amsterdam, I quickly fell in love with the city. The energy, the diversity, and the sense of possibility here felt like home. Through The Third Space Chiropractic, my goal is not only to provide exceptional chiropractic care, but to build a community where people feel supported, connected, and inspired to get more out of their health and their lives.

Because at the end of the day, health isn't just about feeling less pain.

It's about having the freedom to do more of what you love.
