A whole person approach to emotional and physical wellbeing

Welcome,

I am a Manchester-based holistic therapist, educator, and somatic coach, supporting people of all ages to find ease, relief and recovery during challenging times in their lives.

I offer sessions both in person and online and work primarily with those experiencing chronic stress, burnout, anxiety and chronic pain. If things are beginning to feel overwhelming, get in touch to discuss the ways that I can support you.

"Emotionally and mentally I feel so much stronger and I'm able to respond to both my own

problems and other people's in a much healthier, calmer, more capable way.

My own sense of wellbeing has rocketed. "

EQUILIBRIO RETREATS

You are very welcome to get in touch to discuss how I might support you before arranging an initial appointment. Together, we can explore what feels like the best way forward for you or those you care for. This may involve combining different therapies, focusing on a single approach that feels most helpful, beginning coaching or joining a retreat.

There is no pressure to go deeply into everything that has happened in the past. Instead we will focus on what is happening now, how your experiences are held in the body and the powerful connection between the body and the mind.

“I came to Jane as I was suffering with intense stress and feeling completely overwhelmed due to various difficult life events. The sessions themselves were such a welcome oasis of calm during turbulent times, and the improvements to my mood and wellbeing since them have been enormous. I feel like it's helped me in every way - physically I'm so much more aware of my body than I was before, and instantly know when I'm starting to fall into a stress response, something I'd have never even noticed before. Thanks to Jane I now have several really effective tools I can use straight away to regulate my body and bring myself back into a much calmer, happier state. Emotionally and mentally I feel so much stronger and I'm able to respond to both my own problems and other people's in a much healthier, calmer, more capable way. My own sense of wellbeing has rocketed, and my relationships with those close to me are so much easier and happier. Jane is one of those people who instantly put you at ease - she's wise, empathetic and kind, but also incredibly practical and gets straight to the root of the problem with clear and supportive solutions. I feel like she's a little bit magic! I just wish I'd done all this years ago."
