I want to be completely transparent with you...

I truly appreciate your struggles - I’ve walked that painful path myself.

- often filled with overwhelming pain and isolation

- every specialist you consult tells you there’s nothing more that can be done

- being advised that it's not your back causing the issue

- hearing "You'll just have to live with it", which is utterly shattering

I made my journey from pain to transformation, and so can you!

About Kate

The seed had been sown long before I was aware, nurturing my fierce independence and driving me

toward the perfectionism of a classic Type A personality.

From an early age, I carried a deep need to be seen as "enough", along with an inner ambition

to be competent, and strong.

Unrealistically high expectations led me into a cycle of chronic stress, anxiety, and fear of

failure and judgement.

My self-esteem wavered, personal relationships were challenged, and I constantly battled

the feeling of never being good enough.

Burnout became my unwelcome companion.

The Painful Turning Point

As I navigated my early career—one I disliked every minute of, yet could not

allow myself to quit — I experienced a life-altering event.

A herniated L5-S1 disc, incurred while pushing a car through deep snow.

It brought life, and career, to a screeching halt.

I was 21, with a devastating back injury and chronic pain.

I endured a further 27 years of struggle, when surgical intervention was essential and finally available.

Regaining "life" was sweet, until 15 months later a new injury revealed

another severe disease process.

In the blink of an eye my renewed existence was extinguished.

In a cruel twist, a second surgery and the sudden loss of two loved ones within weeks,

plunged me into an overwhelming cycle of grief, pain and anxiety.

The exhaustion of battling both physical and emotional pain made even the simplest tasks

feel insurmountable, leaving me feeling hopelessly isolated.

My life was unfolding along a familiar cycle of pain and temporary relief.

Discovering The Mind Body Connection

I remember when everything began to change - I discovered the transformative power of mind-body

medicine, which opened a path to healing and the release of pain.

I embarked on a profound journey of introspection and self-discovery. I explored the intertwining of the

physical, mental and emotional spheres and learned the immense power of the mind, and how it

shapes both life and circumstances.

I discovered the impact of an unexamined path, and, crucially, the role of unconscious choices

— revealing how physical pain mirrored my deeply held internal landscape.

Today, I've not only been able to control and eliminate the chronic pain that once held me captive; I've come to understand that my debilitating back injury was the symbol of the struggle between

my outward drive and inner self. My pain was more than physical; it represented

the invisible intertwining of my physical, mental and emotional spheres.

I believe that nothing happens by accident. I've learned the power of the mind - how our thoughts,

behaviours, and emotions operate at the unconscious level and outside of conscious awareness;

that our every thought shapes our daily experiences and long-term outcomes, while having

a direct impact on our ailments and overall physical health.

Through my own experiences, I've uncovered a truth that has transformed me.

I now see the world in a new light, and, more importantly, I can see my true self.

I’ve developed the skills and boundaries to shape my life in a positive way.

And most of all, I’ve embraced my personal power—which I’ll never give away so freely again.

Your Path To Empowerment

Motivated by my journey from pain to transformation, I am passionately committed to guiding

others toward empowerment on their path to overcoming chronic back pain.

I've walked the walk, I know your struggles, and I believe in you!
