About Caroline
I 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 Background
Before 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.

A Gentle Invitation
