MY SPECIALTIES
Somatic coaching for chronic pain in Scotland & globally
Gentle, body-based support for persistent pain, stress and nervous system overload
I’m a trauma-informed and somatic coach based in Burntisland, Fife, and I work with clients across Scotland and globally who live with chronic or persistent pain.
​
Chronic pain is not “just physical”.
It’s often linked to:
​
-
Nervous system stress
-
Long-term tension patterns
-
Survival responses that never got to switch off
When pain becomes a whole-life experience
Many people with chronic pain have:
​
-
Tried everything
-
Been told “nothing is wrong”
-
Felt dismissed, unseen or misunderstood
​
This work does not replace medical care.
​
It adds a nervous-system and body-awareness layer that many people have never been offered.
A somatic and trauma-informed approach to pain
We work with:
​
-
Safety in the body
-
Reducing threat and bracing
-
Exploring movement in ways you love
-
Rebuilding trust in sensation and movement
-
Gently increasing capacity and ease
​
Often, as the nervous system learns it is safer, pain patterns begin to soften.
My lived experience
I live with chronic pain myself. This work is not theoretical.
It’s built from years of:
​
-
Listening to my body
-
Unwinding stress patterns
-
Learning from others, experts and regular people
-
Learning how to live with more ease and less war
Who this is for
-
People with persistent or unexplained pain
-
People whose pain worsens with stress
-
People who feel disconnected from their body
-
People who are tired of fighting themselves
-
People who feel exhausted and could do with support and not feel so alone with their pain
