Meet Freya
My name is Freya, and I am a qualified Veterinary Physiotherapist and graduate of Harper Adams University.
I completed four years of training, including three years of academic study and a full year working within the veterinary physiotherapy industry. This gave me valuable practical experience working with animals and developing treatment plans suited to their individual needs.
I grew up on a smallholding in the Lincolnshire countryside, surrounded by animals from an early age. That experience inspired my love of animal care and my ambition to become a Veterinary Physiotherapist.
