Masters of Chiropractic (Mchiro)
Level 5 Dry Needling
Level 3 Sports Massage
Hi, I'm Kia,
I graduated from AECC University College in Bournemouth in 2024, but my journey into chiropractic started much earlier. I first experienced the benefits of chiropractic care at the age of thirteen, and it made a lasting impression on me. That early exposure sparked a passion for understanding the human body and helping others move and feel better.
Growing up, I was always active and have been involved in athletics from a young age. I still enjoy competing in the sport today, which has given me a deep appreciation for the physical demands we place on our bodies
Now in practice, my goal is to continue learning and provide a high quality of care, not only through hands-on treatment but also by giving you the tools and knowledge to stay pain-free and confident in your movement long-term.
