Dawn Leibe

Dawn qualified from Kings College London in 2000 and began her career in the NHS, spending time most notably at Kings College Hospital London and Addenbrookes Cambridge where she also worked with the Cambridge University sports teams. On leaving the NHS she went on to work with the RAF treating acute injuries and rehabilitating those with more complex problems, as well as covering private clinics around London including an onsite clinic for Merrill Lynch.

Having established a good foundation of clinical skills Dawn took a year out to study full time for a Masters degree at Birmingham University. This allowed her to gain membership to the specialist physiotherapy group the MACP, an achievement that had been a goal for Dawn since qualifying as an undergraduate.

After taking a short break to travel, Dawn returned to the UK to work in a prestigious combined physiotherapy and Pilates studio in Hampstead London. Having used Pilates as part of her rehabilitation programmes throughout her career, she was able to further her skills by working with the equipment, as well as continuing to teach classes and matwork. During her time in the studio Dawn enjoyed treating clients of all levels, pre and post natal women, professional sportsmen and even the GB Bobsleigh team. Through advancing her skills Dawn went on to become an APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) course instructor training other physiotherapists both in the UK and internationally how to integrate Pilates into their treatment programmes.

Now settled and enjoying life in Hove, Dawn brings both her experience and enthusiasm to Body Rehab Studios and looks forward to working with you soon …
