Coaching provides for you a safe space where you can openly share your experiences. You can talk about your pain, your lifestyle, and the different pressures you’re facing—whether it’s workplace or relationship stress, major life event turmoil or an uncomfortable change in circumstance.

Through coaching, you’ll start exploring the mind-body connection—how your emotions, thoughts, and even unacknowledged stress might be impacting your physical body. It's about recognising the factors that may cause you to push through stress without processing it fully.

We’ll work together to identify any underlying triggers, such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or repressed anger. For an outdoorsy life-juggler, this might mean dealing with the pressure of always needing to “keep going,” or the disappointment that pain is limiting your adventures.

The coaching process provides you with practical, achievable tools like expressive writing, mindfulness techniques, or somatic (body-based) awareness exercises. These practices help you release emotional tension and reconnect with your body’s natural healing ability—so you can get back to the activities you love.

A key part of coaching is learning to shift your mindset from seeing your body as fragile or broken to trusting in its resilience. It’s not about pushing harder but about gently allowing yourself to slow down, acknowledge emotions, and work through them without judgment.

You won’t be going through this journey alone. As your coach I’m here to support you as you face your fears and frustrations around pain, and encouraging you to gradually get back to the things that bring you joy—whether that’s hiking, or simply walking your dog without pain.
