Beginning her career in 1994 within the NHS as a nurse Amritah worked in a variety of settings across London and the South East.

She undertook a role as an instructor for the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust for their Falls Prevention clinic. Working closely with the physiotherapy department she developed a range of tai chi-based exercises to improve clients’ strength, balance and confidence. Amritah was asked to contribute to a joint- run project with Reading PCT, Age UK and Sport England. She helped to design, set up and manage community based Tai Chi classes addressing issues of social isolation in older people and falls prevention.
Amritah has also gained considerable experience working within the private field and has successfully worked with clients to manage and improve a broad range of health issues. She has gained considerable experience in treating sports injury, chronic pain and postural imbalances.
