About CarolineI have always been fascinated by the human body, how it moves, adapts, protects, and heals.
My journey into health and wellbeing began over two decades ago, first qualifying as a nurse in 2002. Over time, my curiosity deepened beyond symptoms and diagnoses, drawing me toward a more whole-person, compassionate approach to care. Today, I work as a Wellbeing & Chronic Pain Recovery Specialist, supporting people living with persistent pain, anxiety, and stress to reconnect with safety in their bodies and move with greater ease. |

My Story
Alongside my professional training, my work is shaped by lived experience.
In my late 30s and early 40s, I experienced chronic lower back pain. During that time, I was offered medication and invasive treatment options, yet no explanation about the nervous system or pain itself. It wasn’t until I discovered neuroscience-informed pain education, breath work, and somatic approaches that lasting change became possible.
This personal journey fundamentally changed how I understand pain, not as something broken, but as a protective system that can become over-active. That understanding now underpins everything I offer.

Professional BackgroundBefore establishing my independent practice, Move with Ease, I worked as a Community Learning Disability Nurse, supporting individuals and families to improve quality of life and wellbeing.
This role shaped my person-centred, trauma-informed approach, where listening, pacing, and safety are as important as any technique. |

Beyond the Clinic
Outside of my professional work, I’m a wife, a mother of three, and the proud owner of Lola, our Tibetan Terrier.
Movement is a constant in my life — walking, swimming, yoga & FAMO, and strength training — alongside cold water therapy, meditation, and reading. These practices keep me grounded and continue to inform how I support others.
