I qualified in 1995 from the British School of Osteopathy in London, England. Where I obtained a BSc honours degree in Osteopathy after a four year, full time, course.

I have been practicing as an osteopath in Galway for fifteen years now. Opening in the Crescent and then in 2005 moving to present location in Salthill.

In my practice of Osteopathy I am glad to see a wide range of ages and complaints.

I am in to a wide variety of sports including surfing, skiing, triathlon, athletics, tag rugby and yoga to help me be able to do the rest.

I ran the Dublin city marathon in 2009 (3hrs 45mins.) and also completed Connemara, Galway and Longford half marathons. Raced in Galway's first 1/2 Ironman and several olympic distance and sprint triathlons. I am a level one triathlon coach with Galway triathlon club.

I was the secretary of the Irish Osteopathic Association from 1999 to 2008 when it merged with Association of Osteopaths Ireland to form the Osteopathic Council of Ireland where I was the treasurer for 2008 to 2009.

I appeared on the RTE television programme Health Squad, in 2003, where I demonstrated an osteopathic treatment and have written pieces for the Irish Times health supplement.
