Meet Your Practitioner
My journey into healthcare began through my lifelong passion for martial arts.
For over five decades, martial arts training has been an important part of my life. Through my own experiences with sports and training - related injuries, I became increasingly interested in natural and hoistic approcahes to recovery and wellbeing.
This led me to study sports therapy and subsequently train in a range of complementary therapies. Over many years, I developed my knowledge and practical experience while continuing to practise and refine these therapies.
In 2009, I founded Shifa Active Health Clinic in Luton with a simple aim: to helppeople recover better,move better and live better.
My approach is personal: I take the time to understand each person's individual needs and do my best to provide appropriate, personalised care.
