​Hi, I’m Kate

BSc (Hons), PgD Vet Phys, MIAAT

As a fully qualified and insured veterinary physiotherapist, I specialize in the treatment and rehabilitation of canine, feline, and equine patients. With over 30 years of experience working with a wide range of species, including wolves, I have dedicated my life to helping rescued animals worldwide.

I also work part-time as a Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) at Fitzpatrick Referrals ('The Supervet'), where I assist with complex orthopaedic and neurological cases, deepening my hands-on expertise in advanced veterinary care.

I hold a First-Class degree in Physics with Astrophysics and am a Level 5 certified force-free dog behaviourist and trainer. My approach is science-led, compassionate, and tailored to each animal's individual needs, with a special interest in laser and ultrasound therapies for pain management and rehabilitation.

As a professional member of leading organizations, including IAAT (International Association of Animal Therapists), INTODogs, ICAN, the UK Behaviour and Training Charter, Pet Industry Advocacy International, and PPGUK, I stay at the forefront of evidence-based physiotherapy and animal welfare.

I believe every animal deserves the best care, and I am committed to combining science, compassion, and expertise to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
