Kerri is so knowledgeable and methodical in her approach. I felt very reassured by her expertise and I look forward to seeing her again soon.
I've visited Kerri in her role as an osteopath (helped manage all the knock-on effects from my shoulder injury) and in her role as a Pilates teacher. I trust her experience and professional abilities in both these roles, providing very good advice and guidance, and for Pilates, making it fun and rewarding!
Kerri gives different levels of movement/exercise within each position, so you can choose your difficulty level depending on your body/ability. Enjoyable class to help with range of movement.
After working with Kerri for five weeks I found her to be very knowledgeable & friendly person. I was given exercises & stretches to do which she downloaded to my i pad which to me was a great help.
Kerri was professional, sympathetic and knowledgeable. She took great care to take on board my individual problems and her 'hands on' was very helpful. I look forward to her treatment in the future.
Kerri was kind and very helpful. She listened and really made sure to listen to me before she made any assumption. She even asked me what I think might be the cause of the issue which I really appreciated. She made sure to really explored any possible causes before stating what the root is and gave me a simple explanation of why my issue occurred that does make sense. I'm looking forward to see the changes soon.
Thank you for sharing this — I really appreciate your feedback. Taking the time to listen and explore things fully is such an important part of understanding what’s going on, so I’m glad you felt involved in that process and that the explanation made sense. I look forward to seeing how things progress for you. Kerri
Kerri is extremely professional and skilled. This is my third visit and I feel very reassured by her manner and her expertise
Thank you for your continued trust — it’s very much appreciated. I’m really pleased you feel reassured by the sessions, and that the approach has felt both supportive and helpful for you. Wishing you all the best with your ongoing progress. Kerri
