Move Beyond Pain

Not finding results from traditional approaches to pain management?

Sick of stretching, strengthening,
and mobility exercises?

As a certified Alexander Technique teacher and experienced coach, I help people unify their minds and bodies to go beyond the bit that hurts, let go of unconstructive patterns of thought and movement, and move through the world with greater ease and less pain.

My approach to chronic pain is perfect for anyone who has had pain for months or years rather than weeks, has seen many different healthcare professionals, and is still unable to resolve their pain.

A mind-body

approach to pain

My pain coaching sessions combine the neuroscience of pain, posture alignment, and mindful movement with an understanding of how psychology and emotions really matter for pain.

    Go Beyond Pain: Get back to what you really want to do in life with greater ease and aliveness

  • DISCOVER

    What's involved:

    Pain Neuroscience: I’ll guide you in understanding how pain is influenced by mind-body connections, helping you make sense of what’s happening.

    Exploring Stress and Emotional Triggers: Together, we’ll pinpoint the stressors and emotions that may be fueling your pain, giving you the tools to address them head-on.

  • ALIGN

    What's involved:

    Release: We’ll help your body let go of built-up tension, turning off overactive muscles that are keeping you stuck.

    Align: Through guided posture resets, you’ll achieve postural alignment.

    Expand: find your full length and width, creating a posture that feels stable, confident, and ready for movement.

  • MOVE

    What’s involved:

    Functional Movement for Daily Life: Practical movements—sitting, standing, typing, and walking—to reduce strain and restore flow.

    Integrate Local and Global Movement: Progress from focused movements to full-body coordination.

    Rest and Pacing: Balance activity and rest to avoid overdoing it and reduce setbacks.

  • THRIVE

    What's involved:

    Goals That Go Beyond Pain: Set exciting goals that matter most without pain holding you back.

    Sustainable Routines for Resilience: Create habits around pacing, energy management, and prioritising what matters most for consistent progress.

    Practical Mindset Tools: Develop skills for managing stress, setting healthy boundaries, and staying in tune with your body’s needs, so you feel more in control.

Common root causes of pain I can help with:

✓ Prolonged sitting and limited movement at work
✓ Stress and difficult emotions
✓ Injuries that haven't fully healed or are worsening
✓ Repetitive strain from work demands
✓ Muscle imbalances and postural misalignments
