Over the past two days, I’ve had the opportunity to learn alongside an amazing group of people—GPs, therapists, physiotherapists, coaches, and individuals who truly understand the impact of chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue.

The masterclass with Howard Schubiner MD has given me a deeper insight into neuroplastic pain and the growing research in this area.

One of the most powerful parts of the event was practicing different approaches, including:
• Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
• Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy (EAET)
• Somatic tracking

It was an emotional and inspiring experience, and I’m still taking time to reflect on everything I’ve learned.

What stands out most is the strength of this growing community—people dedicated to helping others live pain-free lives without relying on medication or being dismissed.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising such a fantastic event.

Yesterday I took part in the first session of the Fearless: Women’s Leadership Programme — and wow, what a start.

We focused on values, and it really made me reflect on something I navigate every day: balance.

Balancing family and career isn’t always easy, and if I’m honest, it often comes with a bit of “mum guilt.” Working in sport can mean long hours, time away, and missing moments with the people who matter most. It’s one of the reasons I stepped back from working directly with a team.

But I’ll be honest… I really miss it.

Collaboration is a huge value of mine — being part of a team, sharing ideas, and learning from others. As a sole trader, that’s something I don’t always get in the same way.

So being surrounded (virtually!) by 250 incredible women from all areas of sport across the world yesterday was genuinely inspiring. I’m so glad I pushed myself to apply for this programme with Women’s Sport Collective.

Lots to work on before the next session… but first, I’m off for two days of learning all about mind-body medicine with a global expert in neuroplastic pain.

Excited to share more soon!

Six weeks ago, I stepped away from Instagram and Facebook on both personal & professional accounts.

I needed a break from the constant stream of sponsored ads, AI-generated content, and negative news. I’ll admit, I was concerned it might impact my business.

But it hasn’t.

Over the past 8 months, I’ve been tracking where my new business comes from:
• 54% through referrals and recommendations
• Just 6% from social media

Now, that could be down to the fact I haven’t invested heavily in social media — no big time commitment or budget. And I do believe you get out what you put in.

But I also think there’s something else at play.

There’s a lot of noise. A lot of saturation. And if we’re honest, how often are we really paying attention while scrolling?

In these past six weeks, I’ve redirected that time and energy into things that actually matter:
• Focusing on my health
• Reading more
• Listening to podcasts
• Investing in my personal and professional development
• Spending more time outdoors (walking the dog mainly!)
• Connecting with friends properly — in person and on the phone
• Being more present with my family
• Delivering a better service to my clients because I’m more focused

Of course, I’ve missed a few things — my husband’s photography on Instagram, and a lovely Mother’s Day post from my youngest daughter.

But overall, stepping away hasn’t had a negative impact on my life. If anything, it’s improved it.

Will I come back? Here I am — but on my terms. Maybe once a week. And definitely without the apps on my phone.

Sometimes, less really is more.

I’m currently taking a break from social media to step away from the noise and protect my time and wellbeing.

My business is continuing as normal — please contact me via email, text, or WhatsApp (see bio or website for details).

I’m unsure if or when I’ll be back on these platforms. Thank you for your support.

I’m working with a number of people at the moment that have had life changing injuries who remain determined to keep pushing forward with their rehab to be in the best physical & mental health.

I love working with all my clients, but these individuals bring me so much joy & inspiration every session.

My journey into this profession started because I was helping my husband, Mark, recover from a broken & dislocated neck.

I’ve since qualified with a high level First Class Honours Degree in Sport Therapy & Rehabilitation which I am proud to shout about. I worked very hard for it & wanted to do well to be able to help as many people as I can.

When reviews like this come through, it means so much to me on a personal & professional level, because it’s proof that I’m doing what I set out to achieve with my business & the hard work was worth it.

❗️I urge everyone to watch this tonight❗️

Can you overcome a chronic condition without medication? Dr Rangan Chatterjee investigates the UK’s dependency on medication and explores how lifestyle changes can help to promote wellbeing.

I’m a huge advocate for addressing lifestyle, mental health, historic trauma to name but a few elements before relying on medication to support physical symptoms.

Now that’s not to say it works for everyone and all conditions, there is a place for medications, I acknowledge that. However, many of us are not living the best through a disconnection with our bodies needs, over stimulated, stressed, and a reliance on pills to fix things.

In tonight’s episode Dr Chatterjee talks to SIRPA practitioners. SIRPA provides specialist approach to chronic pain symptoms. It’s something that fascinates me from a professional perspective, but that I have also experienced on a personal level following a period of time with chronic back pain.

This year they are running a masterclass with Dr Howard Schubiner MD of Mind Body Medicine who explores the brain and its role in a wide variety of medical issues, including chronic pain and how to unlearn pain in a 28-day process.

I hope to be able to help clients more with their pain free journey following this masterclass in April. You can also listen to more from Dr Schubiner on Dr Chatterjees podcast - Feel Better, Live More #519.

I’d love to hear from anyone that watches this series or listens to the podcast and if you’ve found it helpful …
