Joy is the Consultant McTimoney Practitioner and Integrative Physical Therapist at Aligned with Joy. With over 40 years as a health professional, Joy has a vast experience working both in the NHS and in private practice, giving her a wealth of experience to draw on to treat people. She is trauma informed. Whilst still nursing she qualified as a massage therapist and as an aromatherapist.
In the 1990’s Joy studied at the McTimoney Chiropractic College, qualifying in 1998. She set up in practice soon after, based in Wiltshire. She relocated to Scotland in 2007, and opened up her clinic in Ayr that year. In 2019 she added Upledger Craniosacral Therapy to her range of therapies, making her way of working with and treating people unique. Joy says that “Each person is an individual, and so they need a treatment plan tailored to them.”
In her spare time Joy likes to travel, and has lived in both Canada and Australia when she was younger. India and China are still on her bucket list. Joy spent several years being a member of the Rotary Club of Alloway, including a year as their President. Joy likes the ethos of the Business Club Ayrshire, doing acts for the community, and hopes to develop her involvement with the River Garden project. In 2022 she organised a health and wellness event on their grounds to raise funds for them and hopes to repeat this again soon.
Joy plays croquet at the Auchincruive Croquet Club, and is their 2024 singles champion. She plays doubles with her husband, both in local leagues, and in 2025 started to play inter-club matches with him too.
