Background
Mia qualified in 2024 with a Master’s in Chiropractic from the McTimoney Chiropractic College, accredited by Ulster University. A passionate equestrian from a young age, Mia’s interest in chiropractic began alongside her riding journey. After experiencing treatment for riding-related injuries as early as age 10, she developed a deep appreciation for the Chiropractic technique. Since then, her aspiration to become a chiropractor has remained unwavering. She has a particular interest in treating equestrian athletes and envisions one day caring for both horse and rider in harmony, as she pursues a Master’s in Animal Chiropractic. Expertise During her time at McTimoney, Mia often challenged conventional beliefs within chiropractic care, exploring how her understanding might evolve as she transitioned into a qualified practitioner.

Her holistic philosophy centres on enhancing overall function and promoting lasting well-being.
