FOUNDER/DIRECTOR

Zoë

Clinical Musculoskeletal (MSK) & Neuro Rehabilitation Specialist

Zoë is a dedicated professional whose 15 years of study and hands-on experience led her to found Maintain Independence in September 2024. After spending over 7.5 years working in rehabilitation within the care industry, she saw first-hand the lack of tailored support and understanding for older adults and those living with dementia.

Determined to make a difference, Zoë built Maintain Independence to bridge that gap—helping people stay active, independent, and confident in their everyday lives.

A Clinical Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Specialist, Soft Tissue Expert, Moving & Handling Instructor, Specialist Personal Trainer (Pulmonary rehabilitation) and qualified Nutritionist, Zoë approaches rehabilitation from all angles. Her diverse qualifications and experience allow her to design comprehensive, evidence-based programmes that address both the physical and neurological aspects of recovery.

Recognised for her expertise in soft tissue work, Zoë’s results speak for themselves. She takes an investigative, holistic approach to uncovering the root causes of pain and dysfunction, caring deeply about her work and the clients who trust her with their rehabilitation journey.

As a Neurological Specialist and dementia expert, Zoë offers person-centred support for individuals living with neurological disorders. She has also collaborated on numerous projects with universities and NHS England, focusing on falls prevention, mobility aid development, and improving functional independence in later life.

FACTS

Zoë proudly served 12 years in the Royal Military Police, 8 of which were aboard, including Germany, Iraq and Poland. Away from work, she loves spending time outdoors, especially on a rainy day with her loyal German Shepherd.
