Claire has been a qualified Osteopath for over 20 years, graduating from the British School of Osteopathy (now University College of Osteopathy), the same institution as Hannah Walder. Throughout her career, she has worked in a variety of multi-disciplinary practices and has been based in Northampton for the last 12 years, where she continues to practice.

​

Claire treats a wide range of ages and conditions, but over the past decade, she has developed a strong passion and earned a solid reputation for treating infants and children. Many of her paediatric patients are referred by local health visitors, midwives, and other parents, with returning families often bringing in their growing children. Claire has completed post-graduate training in Specialist Paediatric Osteopathic Practice at the University College of Osteopathy and regularly attends Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to expand and refine her knowledge.

“As a mother of two unsettled babies, I truly understand the mental and emotional strain this can place on parents. I feel privileged to play a small part in supporting parents through those challenging early months.” Claire uses gentle osteopathic techniques, including massage, craniosacral therapy, and gentle articulation/movement, to relieve any musculoskeletal strains that may have developed during pregnancy or birth. She also educates parents on how to manage and alleviate these strains themselves.

In addition to her work with people, Claire enjoys treating the occasional dog, having completed postgraduate training in animal treatment at the European School of Osteopathy in 2004.
