Debbie qualified in physiotherapy in 2004 and now has 21 years experience in the field. Debbie has worked in a variety of specialist areas in this time with the majority of her time in the NHS. Her employment has included inpatient and outpatient orthopaedics, community domiciliary, adults with learning disability and respiratory. 

Debbie was lucky enough to spend 9 months of her career in Auckland, New Zealand. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there and learnt from the experiences of working in another country under a different health system. 

Debbie has spent the last part of her career concentrating on paediatrics an area that she loves and particularly enjoys working closely with children and their families to help them reach their therapy goals and potential. 

Debbie has been involved in running and leading hydrotherapy services from when she was a junior physiotherapist up until managing the paediatric service at University Hospitals Birmingham. 

Debbie started Hydrotherapy Warwickshire in April 2024 after realising there was such little provision for this form of physiotherapy and having first hand knowledge how crucial it can be to helping people with their rehabilitation. 

In September 2025 Debbie made the difficult decision to leave the NHS after 21 years in employment to switch to full time hydrotherapy across the week which she is thoroughly enjoying.

In her spare time she enjoys muddy walks with her family and black Labrador Willow (who had been keen this service was also opened to dogs) and watching her son play football for a local team.
