As the owner and manger of Milestone Therapy Centre, my passion for wellbeing management began when I made a career change to become an Occupational Therapist, starting my NHS career in 2003. Since then the learning and development has never stopped.
Milestone Therapy Centre was set up in 2017 when I became a Level 4 sports massage therapist and has continued to grow in demand and services since then.
