Meet Paula – Female Chiropractor at Guildford Chiropractic Centre
Originally from Finland, Paula is a skilled and compassionate chiropractor who moved to the UK to follow her dream of helping people through chiropractic care. She graduated with a Master of Chiropractic (MSc) from the world-renowned Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, and began her career in multidisciplinary clinics across Dorset and Wiltshire.
Paula also worked with a rugby club for two seasons, offering pitch-side care and injury management. This hands-on experience gave her a strong foundation in sports injury treatment and rehabilitation, an area she continues to develop while working toward her International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC).
Since joining Guildford Chiropractic Centre in 2020, Paula has become known for her friendly, thorough and practical approach. She supports a wide range of patients—from office workers and retirees to amateur and professional athletes—by providing personalised care and tailored exercises that promote long-term recovery and self-management.
Paula is also mindful that some women prefer to see a female chiropractor for personal, cultural or religious reasons. She is proud to offer a welcoming, respectful and professional environment where women can feel at ease.
Whether you're seeking help with a sports injury, everyday aches and pains, or simply looking for a trusted female chiropractor in Guildford, Paula is here to support your health, movement and overall wellbeing.
