She graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2003 with a BSc (Physio) Cum Laude and was also awarded the Raymond and Marjorie Dart Medal for the most Distinguished grandaunt in BSc (Physiotherapy). Following completion of community service in 2004 Beverley began her career as a private practitioner at Sklaar Laidler and Partners Physiotherapy, treating both hospital and rooms patients. Management involved treating patients both in the trauma and cardiac ICU’s of the Union hospital as well as holistic care of patients with severe trauma, respiratory, neurological and orthopaedic conditions.
Beverley later took on an associate position at the practice which involved managing hospital patients as well as the physiotherapy staff working in the hospitals. In 2007 Beverley went on to complete the post graduate Orthopaedic manipulative therapy course (OMT 1) with distinction and has subsequently continued on as an assistant on the OMT course modules, supervising and training postgraduate students.
With a passion for ongoing learning and teaching, Beverley completed the post-graduate Cardiopulmonary course (CPT1) in 2009 with distinction and has also maintained an affiliation with the Wits Physiotherapy department as a clinical supervisor for their students. In 2010 Beverley began practicing as a solo practitioner in Bedfordview managing patients with various outpatient conditions including headaches, spinal pain, respiratory illnesses, sporting injuries and surgical and orthopaedic cases. In 2012 and 2014, Beverley became a “mommy” (a title she holds very close to her heart) welcoming an energetic little boy and beautiful little girl into the world. In 2015 Beverley joined Anne Williams at “Williams and Meyer Physiotherapy” (now Williams and Locke Physiotherapy) in Edenvale, where she still practices from.
