Helping you break free from chronic symptoms and persistent pain
Hello and welcome, I'm Jennifer
Neuroscience informed mind-body coach for chronic pain and other persistent symptoms.
Physiotherapist and specialist by background
The path of recovery from chronic symptoms can feel isolating and confusing.
Having spent a decade struggling with chronic pain, I understand how scary and demoralising it can feel to be told no one can help.
Despite what we may have been told, recovering from chronic pain/fatigue/dizziness is not about another injection, a different exercise regime or supplement. Modern neuroscience demonstrates repeatedly that symptoms persist as a predictive and protective response driven by our nervous system. So we have to treat them as such.
Mind-body coaching gets to the root of what is keeping you stuck and gives you the tools unique to you to re-wire your brain and nervous system back to health.
I now live a full and active life without pain and fully trust that this is possible for you too. Recovery can be simple, but it's not always easy. You deserve to live a full, rich and meaningful life and I serve to guide you along that path.

There is a reason you aren't better...
Persistent pain or pain that started out of the blue is fundamentally different to acute injury. So it cannot usually be treated successfully in the same way. Even if the pain goes away temporarily, so often another symptom crops up.
Thankfully, the last twenty years of neuroscientific research demonstrates that persistent symptoms are often primarily driven by over-protective, heightened chemical signalling within the brain and central nervous system.
A neuroscience informed, mind-body approach goes one step beyond symptom management. I provide 1:1 guidance and tailored coaching aimed at targeting the root of what is driving the symptoms and providing clear, simple steps to move the needle forward. Through coaching you will feel empowered to trust your own wisdom and that of your body.
How can we work together?
01
Nervous system health
Understand how and why your symptoms seem stuck.
Implement applied neuroscience with personalized daily nervous system drills, somatic practices and/or brain based exercises to shift out of survival mode and set the landscape for recovery.
03
02
Pain Reprocessing Therapy
Implement elements of pain reprocessing therapy to cultivate new healthy neural networks in response to the natural fear and frustration that comes with symptoms.
This is all about helping your primitive brain feel safe, breaking the symptom-danger nervous system response.
Relationship to self
Understand your 'protector' parts and re-calibrate old beliefs that may be keeping your nervous system stuck on high alert.
05
Wisdom and joy
Discover YOU. Lean into peace, play, joy and presence as you take steps forward towards the activities that you love.
04
Emotional Mastery
Develop your own unique practices of embodying, expressing and learning from your feelings for optimal health and pain free freedom.
