Your Path: Three Frameworks to Rise Beyond Chronic Pain
The world can feel unbearably loud when you live with chronic pain.
The challenges stack up:
Acceptance. Managing daily tasks that most people take for granted. Riding waves of emotion: anger, grief, frustration, fear, even hopelessness.
And then there are the relationships. Some people rush to “fix” you with the famous “try this, it will work”. Some distance themselves because they feel awkward. Some stop inviting you, assuming you’ll say no. Others don’t believe you, or expect you to act as if nothing has changed. Some say, “I know what you’re going through”, and you can’t help but think, “Really???” And then there are the few who truly care, but still can’t fully understand.
Add to that the self-judgement, the guilt, and the quiet pressure you put on yourself, and it’s no wonder it feels exhausting just to get through the day.
The truth is, nobody really knows what’s going on in your life (including me).
What I do know, from living it myself and walking alongside others with chronic pain, is this:
the first step is always the same: make sense of it all.
That’s why I created a way to put all these scattered experiences into three clear containers:
Facts. Self. Environment. This simple structure lowers the noise, clears the mental clutter, and makes it possible to see a way forward.
My turning point came when I took full responsibility for rising beyond chronic pain. Like many, I searched for ways to “fix” myself, in any form I could find. Specialists, techniques, books, podcasts, alternative therapies. Some helped for a moment, some didn’t. But none brought the clarity I was looking for.
The real shift happened when I decided to silence all those competing voices. I needed space. I needed silence. And I needed a system.
Today, I help you find your way back.
Back to your body, back to your truth, back to who you really are.
Beyond pain. Beyond expectations.
I do this through three grounded, science-backed, soul-aligned frameworks:
R.I.S.E. – Move beyond pain, layer by layer
Pain isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, relational, systemic.
R.I.S.E. helps you understand and transform your experience across three key domains (Facts, Self, and Environment), so you can emerge empowered and in control again.
R – Recognise the Facts: Understand how your nervous system, brain, and body respond to pain
I – Integrate the Self: Explore your emotional patterns, beliefs, and inner blocks
S – Shape the Environment: Redesign your outer world to support healing and truth
E – Emerge Empowered: Begin living in alignment, with less emotional pain and more clarity
Quick tip: When your body tenses, pause and ask, “What am I protecting myself from right now?” Awareness starts here.
B.E.L.O.N.G. – Build an authentic life from the inside out
Authenticity isn’t a personality trait. It’s a practice. A way of living in alignment with your values, even when it’s hard.
The B.E.L.O.N.G. framework helps you do just that:
B – Boundaries: Know what you will and won’t accept
E – Explore Your True Self: Discover what drives you
L – Let Go of External Validation: Release the need to fit in
O – Own Your Choices: Align decisions with your values
N – Nurture Yourself and Your Environment
G – Give Yourself Grace: Embrace imperfection with compassion
Quick tip: If you feel stuck or drained, ask yourself: “Is this coming from who I am, or who I think I should be?”
I.A.M. – The moment that makes change real
This is the inner pivot. The decision point.
I – Intend: Name your truth
A – Align: Tune in to your body and values
M – Make a choice: One that reflects who you are
I.A.M. is the bridge between knowing and doing. The moment you stop performing and start choosing with intention.
Quick tip: When you feel torn, pause and say, “Right now, I intend to…” Even a small, clear intention can create movement..

Why Work With Me
I’ve been where you are.
I spent 15+ years solving complex problems in telecoms, and for part of that time, I was quietly navigating the physical, emotional, and mental weight of chronic pain. I know what it’s like to appear “fine” on the outside while daily life feels heavier than it should. I know the frustration of trying treatment after treatment, hoping for relief that never lasts, and wondering if anyone truly understands.
I combine science and soul.
From pain neuroscience and nervous system regulation to mindset coaching and values work, my approach blends proven science with deep empathy. You get the best of both: clear, practical tools and the understanding of someone who’s walked this path.
I live what I teach.
I’ve moved from living with pain every day to being pain-free. Every framework I share (R.I.S.E., B.E.L.O.N.G., and I.A.M.) was born from my own healing and refined through working with others living with chronic pain. This is not theory. It’s what works in real life, for real bodies, with real challenges.
