The Body Talk Therapist

What if your pain isn’t the enemy, but a protector? In Internal Family Systems, pain often sits in front of parts, the frightened part, the driven part, the inner critic, the part that quietly keeps us from being looked after.

In IFS research with rheumatoid arthritis, many people carried “caretaking parts” that had never learned to care for themselves and when they finally increased their own self-care, their symptoms eased.

The invitation isn’t to fight the pain, but to get curious about what it’s protecting. Curiosity, not force, is where healing begins. Working gently with these protectors is part of my Yoga Psychology & the Neuroscience of Pain training - 20 hours, live online; details in bio.

The whole human walks into your room.

Pain, stress, trauma, self- awareness, we were trained to treat them in separate boxes, but the nervous system never got the memo. You can’t treat the mind and leave the body waiting outside. More and more of us are arriving at the same conclusion: to help people heal, we have to join the dots.

Yoga Psychology & the Neuroscience of Pain & Stress is a 20-hour live training that bridges eastern and western psychology, giving you evidence-based, trauma-sensitive tools to bring the body and nervous system into your clinical work with anxiety, depression, chronic pain and stress-related conditions.

🗓 19–20 September 2026, 9:30am–5:00pm AWST

🎓 20 CPD points · Yoga Alliance accredited

Pain, stress, trauma, self-development - we were trained to treat them in separate boxes, but the nervous system never got the memo. You can't treat the mind and leave the body waiting outside. More and more of us are arriving at the same conclusion: to help people heal, we have to join the dots.

The person on your mat is never just their body.

Someone comes in for tight hips and leaves having brushed up against grief.

A student’s breath won’t settle and it turns out neither will their week.

We can’t separate the shape from the mind, the mind from pain, or pain from the slow work of becoming who we are.

It’s all one thread now. And our students feel the difference when we can hold the whole human, not just the shape.

That’s what this training is for. Yoga Psychology & the Neuroscience of Pain & Stress - a 20-hour live course blending traditional yoga psychology with modern neuroscience, so you can teach with more depth, safety and confidence.

Pain and stress don't only live in the mind, they live in the nervous system.

This September I'm running a 20-hour live training: Yoga Psychology & the Neuroscience of Pain & Stress-Related Disorders where the ancient wisdom of yoga meets modern neuroscience.

Over two immersive days we'll explore how body, breath, mind and energy work together, and how trauma-sensitive, evidence-based yoga can support the nervous system through anxiety, depression, chronic pain and stress-related conditions.

This is for you if you're a yoga teacher, therapist, teacher, nurse, first responder, wellbeing professional - or simply someone drawn to understanding the mind-body connection more deeply.
