About Amina
Hi, I'm Amina.
My journey into osteopathy began long before I trained as one. My mum is an osteopath, so I grew up around treatment rooms, anatomy books and conversations about the body. At the time, I didn't think much of it. Looking back, it's hard not to see the influence.
Years later, while studying beauty therapy, I found myself drawn to the part of the course I hadn't expected to love: massage. I was fascinated by the way touch could change how someone felt, moved and carried themselves. From there, osteopathy felt like a natural next step.
My interest in movement came later and for a much more personal reason. During Covid, I became increasingly inactive, gained weight and started struggling with knee pain. A friend who worked as a personal trainer introduced me to strength training, and it completely changed my relationship with exercise. I became stronger, more confident and more connected to my body than I had ever been before.
"My aim is never a quick fix. It's to help you understand your body, recover more fully and feel supported for the long term."
Amina Shamsi, M.Ost
