Silva qualified as an osteopath in 1999. She is passionate about her work and strives to increase her skillset by attending a variety of courses.
She treats patients of all age groups, from newborn babies to the older generations. Silva has a wide range of different treatment options in her tool kit, which allows her to personalise your treatment to your individual requirements.
Silva’s favourite patients are babies and children and she likes looking after expecting mums too. She has completed masters-level studies in specialist osteopathy for babies and children and is also a qualified Infant Feeding Coach, which enables her to help new parents with their breast- and bottle-feeding journey. She is currently training to become a tongue-tie assessor.
Silva places great emphasis on effective communication with you, gives advice on how you can help yourself, and thrives on helping you recover quickly and achieve your health goals.
Silva became interested in how the body works when she regularly attended classes at a dance studio and noticed how much her body changed. When she then heard about osteopathy, she instantly knew that this was what she wanted to do. She has never looked back to the office jobs she left behind.
When Silva is not working, she is busy looking after her two cats and her garden. She loves walking in nature and creating art with acrylic paints. She is also volunteering with Divinity Foundation in Kenya, a charity that provides free healthcare for women and children living in poverty. To date, she has taken part in two humanitarian missions to Kenya and is looking forward to go again in the future. Silva is also part of the Divinity Foundation Europe team to help raise funds for the charity’s Kenyan Rescue Centre for girls fleeing physical and sexual abuse, forced prostitution, and FGM.
