About us

I was introduced to chiropractic in 2001 whilst studying a Sport, Health and Exercise degree at Durham University. The chiropractor amazed me. He showed how a dysfunction in the spine and nervous system could make the body weak and unstable – even in professional athletes. Once corrected, full function returned instantly! From this moment, I witnessed how our health and fitness could be altered simply by ‘touch’, so I embarked on a second degree to fulfil my dream of becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2004.

I’ve had chiropractic care for 17 years and it has been invaluable to my health, personal development and well-being. I found the profession opened up a community of like-minded friends and mentors, with common values and goals upon health and lifestyle.

I’ve been a keen public speaker in the UK Association of Speakers Clubs. In 2012, I was delighted to win 1st place in the National Speakers Topics Contest. I’ve had great opportunities of guest speaking around Manchester about my passion for chiropractic and finding ‘true health’, without the need for drugs/surgery.  Previously, I worked in the fitness industry for 5 years as a gym/spinning instructor and continue to enjoy my own training, including running and yoga. Outside the clinic, my time is spent with my husband and two home-birthed girls, dogs, horse and the great outdoors.

Since 2008, I’ve attended seminars throughtout Europe, including the International Paediatric Chiropractic Association, particularly in Pregnancy and Infant care. I’ve helped many new mums and health professionals including Obstetricians, GP’s, Paediatricians, midwives, athletes and celebrities during their pregnancies. As the Director at BodyEvolve, we attained the Royal College of Chiropractic PPQM award for excellence 2016-18.

I take great satisfaction in helping to enhance the lives of babies, children, parents and grandparents alike. Natural holistic care offers greater wellness to the whole family, giving all members a happier and healthier future. A gift that is truly rewarding!

Chiropractic was first introduced to me as a young child, maybe around 7 years old. My mom has been working as a Chiropractic Assistant in Lisbon for as long as I can remember and because of that our whole family had chiropractic care.
I truly don’t think I’ve known a more avid supporter of Chiropractic as my mom is, and in many ways I think she’s a big reason why it piqued my interest.

At some point in high school I knew I wanted to pursue a career in health care. I just didn’t know what. Health, exercise, natural remedies, nutrition, etc have always been things I’ve been interested in, which meant I needed to find something that took on a more wholesome approach to health. And to me that was chiropractic. The more I visited my chiropractor or saw my amazing results it sparked this joy. My headaches, and neck aches were better, I could focus more in school, my body felt stronger and I just felt better in general. And I saw that same awareness on other people’s faces that walked out of the same clinic my mom worked at.

I decided I wanted to do that for other people too, so in August of 2013 I packed up all my belongings, cried until I couldn’t anymore as I said goodbye to everything I knew and flew across the Atlantic ocean to Traverse city, Michigan. I really didn’t know what “cold” meant until I moved there. After three years, I pushed through many snowy days and finished my Pre-medicine (ASA) credits to transfer to Sherman College of Chiropractic.

Once again I packed all my belongings and moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina where I made friendships for life and after four years of perseverance I proceeded to finish my Doctorate of Chiropractic.

It’s ironic that for such a home-body I’ve moved quite a lot and here I am doing it again. This time Cheshire, England! I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to serve this community through the blessing that is chiropractic.

I first discovered chiropractic care in 2015, when attending hypnobirthing classes. My teacher said that ‘in an ideal world, every pregnant woman would see a chiropractor.’ I’ve been a practice member at BodyEvolve ever since and the improvement in my wellbeing has been fantastic.

I worked in various roles in the banking and insurance industry for 17 years and then became a stay-at-home mum, my favourite job but definitely the most challenging! When I saw there was an opportunity to become part of the BodyEvolve team in 2020, I knew I had to apply.

I’ve always had a keen interest in wellness and the human body, but I have always thought it would be a lovely place to work with a real family feel!

On a personal note, I enjoy cooking (and eating), strength training, travel and reading.

I am one of the friendly faces on the front desk, I love being part of such a positive, people focused environment. I have experienced the benefits of chiropractic care both personally and as a parent. It helps me feel more relaxed, think more clearly and better manage my hypermobility. It has become an important part of how my whole family stay healthy and balanced.

Outside of work I’m all about family time, finding joy in little things (preferably with sunshine and a good coffee). I spent 10 years previous as a infant feeding volunteer, supporting families through their early parenting journey. I enjoy connecting with people and sharing a laugh or two!

My name is Livia, I’m an established sports massage therapist with over 5 years of experience in the industry.

I have honed my knowledge and skills by working alongside chiropractors and physiotherapists at various multidisciplinary clinics throughout Greater Manchester. I am proudly the head massage therapist at Stockport Rugby Club, and assist players in keeping them injury free and performing at their best.

As well as a passion for rugby and sports related injuries, I also love to help people by reducing their pain, improving mobility and supporting their rehabilitation process.

I look forward to being part of your journey to better health and wellness.
