About Cristina
Patient, play-based support built around your family
Meet the physiotherapist behind Smart Steps.
Hello, I’m Cristina
I’m an HCPC-registered paediatric physiotherapist with more than five years’ experience working with children, previously at a private clinic in London.
I started Smart Steps in 2026 to see children at home, where they are most relaxed. My approach is family-centred, patient and play-based. We agree goals together, with a focus on everyday independence.
I work closely with schools and other therapists so that the people around your child can support the same goals.
