MIND-BODY THERAPIES

Easing you away from the Overwhelm

Yoga Therapy | Somatic Coaching | Clinical Reflexology

I am a Manchester based therapist, specialising in Stress & Burnout, Anxiety and Chronic Pain.

I work with children, young people and adults, and will support you with to move forward feeling more at ease in yourself, both in your body and your mind.

You might be:

Feeling levels of stress or anxiety that are becoming difficult to manage, struggling to sleep, have high levels of pain, tension, headaches or other physical symptoms, be reacting in ways that feel distressing to you. You may be worried for a child or teen who is struggling with anxiety, trauma or emotional regulation or your usual coping strategies may no longer be working.

How I can help

With over 20 years of experience working in health and wellbeing, I draw upon a range of mind-body approaches to focus on you as a whole person, rather than looking at symptoms and difficulties in isolation. By increasing body awareness and learning techniques to restore your nervous system flexibility, you can lower stress in the body, reduce anxiety, tension and physical symptoms, ease chronic pain, improve sleep and energy levels, and have more choice over how you respond, both physically and emotionally.

"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. "

I work both in person and online, making therapies as accessible as possible for your specific needs.

CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

ADULTS

What you can expect

Whether you are looking for deep relaxation and time out, or a more active approach to understanding your physical and emotional symptoms, I will help you develop useful techniques and exercises that are relevant to you, and to implement practical strategies. Resources will be provided to support you at home.

We will explore together what feels like the best way forward for you or those you care for. This might involve combining different therapies or focusing on a single approach that feels most helpful. You're welcome to get in touch to discuss this before arranging an initial appointment.

My Approach

Understanding how your mind and body are communicating can have a powerful impact on your physical and emotional wellbeing. By exploring your different nervous system states and breathing patterns, you can begin to shift the way that you think, feel and respond. You don't need 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 connection between the body and the brain.

“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."
