Hey, I'm Natalie :) I am an ex pain sufferer and a Holistic Coach, specializing in the area of Mind Body healing.
My approach is based on the work of Dr Sarno, coined ' TMS', which explores the role of emotional repression in creating chronic pain.

A client just sent me an incredible progress update, and I couldn't be happier! 💙 I highly recommend listening to his speech—it's truly inspiring! ✨
" Hey Natalie, I have been doing well thanks. Hope the same for you. I have had a light headache on waking the last few days but nothing substantive. I have come off the anti- inflammatory which I am very happy about. From this Thursday I will start weaning off the amitripaline which will take some time. I have found the regular meditation very helpful. We have a Toastmasters at work and was working on this speech about the experience (with some AI help)" https://1drv.ms/w/c/1e13c70f86ee5a9b/EfSA8EpSzuBNnVOfoLpUigIBUWHweqf-jBgWBPMd8k382g?e=xuQByD

🌿 Chronic Pain is generated at an emotional level which means its fully treatable 🌿Am proud to share this testimonial from my latest client Chadd, based in Australia, who has been battling with chronic headaches for the past 7 months.
"I had been experiencing chronic headaches for months. After countless scans, doctor visits, and no clear answers, I felt stuck. But working with Natalie changed everything. She helped me uncover unconscious patterns that were keeping me in pain—and with her practical steps, I finally saw a way forward. Thank you, Natalie, for setting me on the path to recovery."
💛 If you’ve been struggling with chronic pain and conventional treatments haven’t helped, there is hope. Let’s explore a new way to heal—one that empowers you from within.
🌿 Hi, I’m Natalie Davis and I'm a Holistic Coach specialising in healing of chronic pain. My journey to becoming a coach started with my own struggles—I endured chronic pain for over eight years. It wasn’t until I discovered Dr. John Sarno’s Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) theory that everything shifted for me.
Through his work, I uncovered the emotional roots of my pain, allowing me to heal both my mind and body. This experience transformed my life, and now I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
As a TMS coach, I guide people through their healing journeys, helping them understand the deep connection between their emotions and physical pain. Together, we explore the underlying causes of discomfort so they can move toward a pain-free, empowered life.
If you’re ready to start your healing journey and take control of your well-being, I’d love to help. 💛
Healing from chronic pain is a journey which takes time and patience. One stumbling block for me, which mostly occurred soon after I discovered TMS, was the pressure I put on myself to heal and to do it quickly and in the right way. Unfortunately this is counter productive and only serves to delay healing. Healing means different things to different people. Nobody has the same set of challenges and emotions to work through, so there is no such thing as a set or defined timeline. Everyone’s healing journey is unique. Find strength in knowing you can and WILL heal, just as thousands of others have. All in your own time and at your own pace.

Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! Become! Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So...I'm not broken?
God: No - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day. Become!! ( Posted by Adrienne Gold)

Healing from chronic pain takes a lot of introspection. Work that is not easy but helps uncover the essence of why our pain is needed as a distraction. The emotions hurt ( hence the physical pain hurts!). Which is the worse of the two? Many will say the physical pain is more unbearable- that is the point at which I myself decided to take a hard look within and confront my emotional demons. This is a work in progress- life’s work! Self care- mind and body. Body and mind. They’re interchangeable

Quote by Freud. One of the ‘ ugly ways’ is chronic pain. It’s a disguise and a distraction from deep seated emotions, including anger, hurt and sadness. Our subconscious brains try to repress to protect us from the severity of processing these emotions. But ironically our only way out of the pain is to face up to them head on. To introspect and turn that which is ‘ subconscious’ into the conscious and allow ourselves to ‘ feel’ them. I strive to help pain sufferers with this process- bringing insight to what is hidden, and relief to physical suffering .

A big part of the TMS healing journey is learning and practicing self compassion. It took me years to realize the power of being simply kind to myself- both in my thinking and giving myself time out when needed. “ we are our own worst enemies” is more than just a cliche- its the TRUTH for so many of us. The relief in befriending ourselves is immense.

Hi there. Welcome to the TMS page. My name is Natalie. TMS stamds for Tension Myoneural Syndrome , also known as the Mindbody syndrome. It is based on the pioneering work of Dr John E. Sarno who who has changed the world with his crucial observations on pain, and overall health. Over the past 50 years, Dr Sarno has healed over 10,000 patients with chronic pain conditions.The TMS philosophy states that our mind produces many pain syndromes to distract us from underlying harmful emotions.
This page is aimed at helping any chronic pain sufferers who have not been able to find a medical diagnosis, and who are battling constantly with little relief. It also applies to people who have a specific diagnosis but are nevertheless still in pain. This is because some conditions may be classified as being of a medical nature but are in actuality TMS ( these include: fibromyalgia, repetitive strain injury, tinnitus and tendonitis- just to name a few).
I myself suffered with chronic headaches, TMJ, spastic colon and fatigue for over 15 years. Over the years, I saw every doctor and alternative practitioner. The battle was a long, and debilitating one.
Through my own pain journey, I have started to heal from doing this mindbody work. The impact on my life has been profound , with my pain now reduced by over 80 percent. I aim to ‘pay it forward’ and spread the word about this hugely important topic, which I believe is largely unknown in South Africa. I also offer one on one online coaching sessions to guide sufferers on their own healing journey ( as healing must come from within). Please find out more on www.mindbodysa.co.za
Every day, people are getting operated on needlessly for back pain, knee pain, hip pain, shoulder, arm, hand and foot pain and many other chronic conditions-using unnecessary medical procedures. In fact, the notion that our bodies are failing is actually the main problem, and keeping us in suffering. The body is strong; it is rarely the problem in pain and illness (although a full medical diagnosis is always recommended upfront).
The healing journey of understanding & embracing the mind- body syndrome is founded on opening your mind and allowing yourself to be changed. Healing comes from gathering knowledge and deepening awareness about the mind body connection.
With this page, my goal is to help you get started on your healing journeys.
I hope this can over time become an interactive forum where we can all share in our healing experiences - ps-this is not a pain forum , it is a healing forum!
Cheers to healing our pain- permanently!
