Shakira was born and raised in South London. She graduated with a Sport and Exercise Rehabilitation Degree at Middlesex University.

Having worked at Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Gym and delivering customised intensive fitness programmes to a variety of ages from the young to the elderly, it was her main aim to achieve her clients desired goals. Utilising her rehab skills she was able to assist those with minor injuries, restoring them back to full fitness, using corrective injury exercises, consequently changing her client’s way of life.

Shakira has worked with both rugby and football teams, so has a good understanding of the common injuries that occur in such sports. This required the use of deep tissue massage, as well as her specialist taping skills. She also had the honour of working with the Charity Organisation Sense, in massaging the London marathon runners.

When not at the clinic, ‪Shakira‬’s other passion is keeping fit, by weight training and boxing, as well as following a healthy lifestyle.
