Ali qualified in the '90s which led to a rotational post at the Royal Free Hospital London. After moving to the Sussex coast, Ali was able to combine NHS and private work. She took time out of practice to focus on family and later worked in the leisure industry. The calling to be back in the greens was strong and couldn’t be ignored. Ali completed a Return to Practice in Neuro Rehabilitation and Orthopaedics programme, and subsequently transitioned to Community Mental Health. Alongside her occupational therapist colleague, Ali created the Recovery Through Being Active programme specifically for Community Mental Health. This setting highlighted her desire to specialise in incorporating breathwork and movement into her occupational therapy practice. Ali currently works in a school and provides yoga and Tai Chi witihin the NHS and private practice.
