Hi, I’m Katherine Mercer.

A woman smiling outdoors with fall foliage in the background.

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and have been working for over 18 years within the NHS and hospice sectors. Within this time, I have built up a substantial amount of experience and knowledge supporting people within a variety of rehabilitation settings including oncology and palliative care, post-surgical recovery, respiratory care, and managing those with long-term chronic illnesses.

I first started treating scars over 10 years ago whilst working at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London, and in January 2024 I qualified as a Restore scar therapist. Since then, I have treated and helped many people with the symptoms associated with problematic scars. I am passionate about raising the profile of scar therapy and educating people on how to better manage the symptoms associated with scarring.

I am now delighted to be able to offer bespoke, specialist treatments to people for scar therapy and/or rehabilitation within my own home in Berkhamsted, and if required, I can also see people within their own homes.

Testimonials

"After two breast cancer operations left me with significant pain, tightness, and reduced arm mobility, both physically and mentally, I started working with Katherine for scar therapy. From the first appointment, I felt understood and reassured that my condition was treatable. Through regular, gentle treatments tailored to my needs, and simple daily exercises I completed at home, the tightness began to loosen and I slowly regained my full range of movement. Not only has the therapy restored my physical mobility, it has also provided psychological healing, giving me the confidence to touch and look at my scars daily, something I never imagined possible."

“Thank you for all the help and support you gave me after my mastectomy last year. It was so reassuring to be in your capable hands… I am now doing well with huge thanks to you”.
