Marie focuses on tailoring every rehabilitation journey to her clients to help them achieve their goals and get the best out of themselves. With a range of experience in clinical and sporting settings, she possesses a wealth of knowledge to assess her clients’ exercise levels and pick them up at any part of their physical journey to become healthy and return to activities they love.

Having worked in various countries and settings, Marie has a unique outlook and experience. She graduated with a BSc (Hons.) from the European School of Physiotherapy in Amsterdam and gathered experience in the USA, Switzerland, Netherlands, Australia, and Germany. Most recently, Marie’s passion for sports physiotherapy brought her to Wales, where she graduated with an MSc in Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy from Cardiff University. Marie acquired a broad skillset from having worked in physiotherapy clinics, as a first contact physiotherapist, with various sports clubs, in research, and as a personal trainer. Her previous work in sports includes kickboxing, semiprofessional football, and rugby, as well as multi-day tournaments, such as the Amsterdam 7’s and the Bingham Cup.

During her time in Germany, Marie developed a special interest in working with individuals with scoliosis (spinal curvature) and gathered experience incorporating 3D exercises into the treatment of adolescents and adults with scoliosis. She uses a three-dimensional exercise approach based on the active spinal correction principles according to the Schroth Method. This approach may be a helpful adjunct to bracing therapy, strengthening before and after spinal correction surgery, as well as to the rehabilitation of injuries or pain in individuals with scoliosis.
