Rachael graduated with a First Class Honors degree in Physiotherapy from St Mary’s University, London, before beginning her postgraduate studies in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Hartpury University. After moving to Australia, she joined Melbourne Animal Physiotherapy to continue her veterinary physiotherapy training.
She has worked in both human and animal health, treating musculoskeletal conditions in the NHS as well as caring for dogs through daycare, grooming and pet sitting. A career highlight for Rachael was the opportunity to train Paralympic dressage champion Natasha Baker, which strengthened her passion for helping both people and animals reach their full potential.
Rachael’s love for animals has been lifelong, with voluntary work including horses, greyhounds and companion animals. Outside of work, she enjoys horse riding, spending time with animals, and keeping active. As a former gymnast, Rachael still has a love for gymnastics and fitness.
