Deborah founded TOMClinic in 2007 as a newly qualified Osteopath and Naturopath supported by her late husband Sean, who managed the business side of the practice. Within a year, TOMClinic welcomed its first Associate Osteopath.

Following Sean’s passing in 2008, Deborah took on full management of the practice while continuing to care for patients. Her dedication and expertise quickly earned her numerous testimonials and recognition as a trusted healthcare professional, including appearances on BBC Three Counties Radio and other media platforms.

In 2015, Deborah faced her own serious health challenges with Cystic Fibrosis, leading her to step back from clinical practice while continuing to manage TOMClinic and support the team delivering high-quality care.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of her organ donor, their family for agreeing to donation, and the skill of the NHS, Deborah received a life-saving double lung transplant in 2018. During her recovery, she continued to manage TOMClinic, trained as a Hypnotherapist, and completed further Trauma-Informed training, practicing online virtually as a trauma-informed Hypnotherapist and NLP Professional Hypnotherapy and NLP.

In January 2024, following extensive CPD and a return-to-practice assessment, Deborah was reinstated as a Registered Osteopath. She how brings her full range of qualifications, clinical experience, and personal insight to her practice, integrating Osteopathy, Naturopathy, Hypnotherapy, and NLP to support her patients’ health and wellbeing.
