JON KABAT ZINN
Body and mind are one, and the physical body is intimately influenced by our inner landscape of thoughts, feelings, emotions and our past experiences. We only have to think of how we may be prone to an unsettled stomach or even an ulcer in times of stress. This mind-body approach, first pioneered by John Sarno over 50 years ago, is fully supported by the latest neuroscience and research and has been shown to be effective for a range of syndromes and symptoms which, rather than being caused by structural issues in the body as we may think, are being generated by the brain and through a heightened fight or flight response system. The symptoms are very real and debilitating and the process is unconscious, however there is a way out, and I can show you how.
I offer a one-to-one coaching programme which provides and excellent introduction to the principles and science of mind body medicine. Through embarking on this journey with me you will benefit from:
- My flexible and understanding approach which fully accommodates your physical and emotional needs
- My sensitive, trauma informed approach
- First hand experience and knowledge drawing on my past experience of severe chronic symptoms and subsequent journey to recovery
- Six weeks unlimited use of a leading resource for the laptop/ tablet or phone filled with learning resources and real-life, practical techniques to improve symptoms click here for more information on Curable
- The benefit of my experience and insight during one weekly, 60 minute one-to-one session with me conducted over zoom and a flexible, responsive approach
- A range of very effective real life, practical techniques which are non-invasive, safe and effective and which target the neural pathways and calm the nervous system, giving measurable improvement
IS THIS FOR ME?

It is difficult to describe just how all-encompassing chronic symptoms are to those who have not experienced them, as every facet of life is made more difficult. You may have gone through extensive testing in the search for an answer and treatment for the symptoms you are experiencing. You may have reached the end of the road for possible treatments and medications, and have to regularly 'push-through' debilitating symptoms just to get through the day. You may even have become skilled at pacing and adapting life around your chronic symptoms, and having tried everything, have reached a place of acceptance and be reluctant to allow yourself to hope again that things can improve.
If any of this sounds like you, and you are willing to engage pro-actively in gentle, non-invasive mindfuness-based techniques then this programme is for you. I invite you to bring a 'beginners mind' and learn about the very real and significant link between the body and mind, and the power of the brain to generate incredibly real, physical and debilitating symptoms. The only thing you have to lose is your symptoms!

I offer an initial informal 30 mins discussion over zoom to chat about your symptoms and experiences, what you would like to achieve and the ways in which I can help you. It is natural to be unsure of such a fresh and different approach, so this initial chat can serve to help us both- giving you a better idea of what will be involved, and providing me with a better understanding of your needs. Use the form below to send me your details and I'll be in touch to arrange a convenient time to chat with no obligation or cost. I look forward to meeting you soon!
