A little about Jenny
Upon graduating I was fortunate to be offered a job in Singapore and I spent over 7 years working as an Osteopath in Asia. I was based at multi-disciplinary clinics in the central business districts of Singapore and Hong Kong. I also spent a few months working at an Ayurvedic wellness resort in Sri Lanka. I returned to Ireland in 2021 and have been working in a very busy Osteopathic clinic in the south east of Ireland.
I graduated in 2001 as a Sports Rehabilitation Therapist and spent 12 years working in London within both private clinics and the NHS where I specialised in lower limb orthopaedics as well as falls prevention programmes for the over 65s.
I am passionate about sports and have worked with semi-professional football clubs, boxing clubs and running clubs.
As a qualified Pilates mat work instructor, I use Pilates exercises and principles as a tool within the rehabilitation programmes. I recently became a Holistic Health & Wellness & Nutrition Coach.
Why did you choose your profession?
When I was working as a sports rehabilitation therapist with a semi-professional football club I would refer some of the players to an Osteopath for joint manipulation, I loved the way he worked. I then re-injured my lower back and after having Osteopathic treatment, my mind was made up to pursue a degree and career in Osteopathy.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love the diversity of the job. I treat a wide age range from 5 years old to the elderly. I enjoy the holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment that caters to the needs of the individual patient.
I love assisting people in their wellness journey whether it is to regain their health and fitness or to start their wellness journey. I believe in promoting body awareness and providing rehabilitation tools to recover from current injuries and dysfunctions and to use as long-term preventative measures.
What areas do you specialise in?
I specialise in lower limb orthopaedics, both non-operative management of injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation. I love working with athletes to rehabilitate them back to their pre-injury fitness levels and strive to improve upon their previous strength, agility and fitness.
I also love working with the over 60’s for fall prevention and improvement of balance and mobility.
What conditions do you most enjoy treating?
I enjoy treating ankle, hip and lower back injuries using a variety of osteopathic techniques, trigger point release, manipulation of joints, craniosacral as well as functional movement rehabilitation.
More about Mat-work Pilates 1:1
Strengthen, lengthen, and reconnect with your body through Mat-work Pilates. Pilates is a low-impact, full-body exercise method that uses body weight to build strength, stability and flexibility.

Pilates is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
Through focusing on core control, flexibility, balance and alignment using controlled movements and mindful breathing, mat-work Pilates helps build strength and body awareness, enhance mobility, assist functional movement patterns, reduce tension, rehabilitate injuries and support long-term physical wellbeing.
1:1 Pilates involves an initial assessment to observe your movement patterns, assess any restrictions and injuries, discuss your goals and to provide a plan of action to restore and improve your everyday movements.
