Alex completed her 4 year BSc in Osteopathic Medicine in 2004 and has been in full-time practice in Cork since. She holds a Diploma in Naturopathy and is a member of the Osteopathic Council of Ireland.

After graduating most of her focus was on developing skills as a cranial Osteopath, and she spent several years attending paediatric postgraduate courses in the UK and US.

Between 2009 and 2015 she undertook extensive training in the field of specific nerve manipulation and treatment of the organs. This means she can diagnose and understand stubborn and complex pain syndromes that don’t respond well to other forms of manual therapy.

Alex is a member of the British Medical Acupuncture society and uses Western needling techniques and electro-acupuncture as an adjunct to her Osteopathic treatments.

In July 2017 after completing 2 years of further part-time study in London Alex was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in Women’s Health in Osteopathy. She is the only Osteopath in Ireland to hold this qualification. In addition, Alex is currently studying to become a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. Alex is a fully qualified Reformer Pilates instructor. Alex is trained in the internal and external treatment of the pelvic floor and now treats women only.
