Cayleigh Stefano

This genuine passion for helping others sets Cayleigh on a path to becoming a highly skilled and compassionate practitioner, poised to make meaningful contributions to the field of osteopathy. Her journey into osteopathy was sparked by her struggle with physical well-being. This pivotal moment ignited her desire to pursue a profession celebrating the intricate interconnectedness of the body while adhering to evidence-based practices.

In addition to her osteopathic training, Cayleigh holds a sports massage qualification that she obtained in 2021. A significant portion of her massage experience was gained at a prominent chiropractic clinic in Surrey, where she worked in a dynamic, multidisciplinary setting. Here, Cayleigh not only shared patients with chiropractors but also had the opportunity to independently oversee her patients. This collaborative environment allowed for a collective approach towards patient care, working together to develop and implement comprehensive treatment plans that guided patients through their journey, ultimately leading to maintenance care. This environment not only exposed Cayleigh to diverse cases but also challenged her clinically, and has contributed to her improving her patient management and care as an osteopath.

Cayleigh’s professional journey also includes a background in the hospitality industry. This experience refined her ability to provide exceptional, individualised service to a wide-ranging clientele. Whether in-person or through virtual interactions, Cayleigh consistently prioritised guest comfort, well-being, and overall satisfaction. This customer-focused background solidified her commitment to excellence and creating positive, memorable experiences for those she serves. This experience has also proven to be highly transferable to her approach in an osteopathic setting, clearly evident in the way she communicates with her patients.

In her current professional phase, Cayleigh is dedicated to ongoing education and professional development. She actively seeks out CPD courses and workshops to expand her knowledge and refine her skills. This commitment to learning ensures that she remains well-equipped to provide the highest standard of care to her patients. Cayleigh is dedicated to gaining diverse experience and expertise in addressing a range of musculoskeletal issues. She aims to build her confidence, manual therapy experience, and clinical skills as a practitioner before shifting her focus to further specialise in other areas. Cayleigh envisions delving deeper into the realms of women’s health, chronic pain, and specialised healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community, seeking to enhance her knowledge and expertise in these areas. She recognises the distinct challenges and considerations in these areas and is committed to offering sensitive, inclusive, and effective care to all individuals.

Cayleigh’s approach to patient care is grounded in her genuine desire to enhance their quality of life. She aims to personalise treatment plans that address not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of discomfort and limitations. Through collaborative teamwork, Cayleigh empowers her patients with the knowledge and techniques they need for self-care and long-lasting well-being.
