Education: Learning that pain, while real, can be generated or amplified by the brain's overreaction to harmless signals, creating a neuroplastic pain loop Somatic Tracking: Paying curious, non-judgmental attention to painful sensations as neutral body signals, rather than threats, to de-escalate the fear response. Safety Messages: Using self-talk to reassure the brain, like "I am safe," "This is just a signal," or "This will pass".

I don’t know where you’re at today - but so many of the people who land in my inbox have one thing in common: They’re tired. Tired of hurting. Tired of feeling like their body is unreliable. Tired of being told “try rest” or “take it easy” when that hasn’t worked for years. And underneath that?There’s usually a quiet fear no one talks about. “What if this never gets better?” “What if I’m stuck like this?” “What if I try something else and it doesn’t work… again?” If that’s ev

I’m trying my best..I’m doing everything ‘right’.I’m in the kitchen, making dinner, little J is whining because he wants cake, or he wants juice, or he just wants me to hold him all day every day with my third arm that doesn’t exist, dog JJ is looking at me because she wants another  walk.I’m disappointed with how work went today, I’m disappointed with the way my hair looks most days, I’m disappointed with what I hear on the news every day.

Thanks for being here, it means a lot! I wanted to share something a bit more personal today, because if you’ve ever felt self doubt creeping in, this one’s for you! I’ve always had a tendency towards low self confidence, so getting myself out there again and trying to promote ‘me’ has been hard (especially alongside all the identity shifts and body changes that come with becoming a mum - IYKYK!) There’s a little voice that likes to scream ‘you’re not good enough!’ But.. I’ve

Over the past 2.5 years I’ve…👶 had a baby✈️ moved countries 4 times🏡 moved house 9 times📚 and completed 4 new courses to fuel this little ol’ brain of mine! Closing The Yoga Room was honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I loved our community, the laughs and deep chats before and after class, the Christmas gatherings, yoga brunches, retreats, impromptu nights out in the Market Yard… Those really were the days. When Covid hit, no matter how hard I tried, I jus
