I’ve just back from an incredible Mind Body Medicine Masterclass in Manchester.

So grateful to have learned from , author of Unlearn Your Pain, whose work continues to change the way we understand the mind-body connection. And a big thank you to the organisers, and Living Proof, for creating such a thoughtful and supportive space.

I used to struggle with social anxiety, so being in rooms like this wasn’t always easy. But here’s what’s helped me and might help you too:

• Bring your attention to the other person
• Let go of trying to perform or be perfect
• Go gently small steps really do count
• Give yourself plenty of kind, reassuring messages

You don’t have to change overnight. Just start where you are.

Just because your test results come back “normal” doesn’t mean what you’re feeling isn’t real. If you’ve noticed your gut symptoms flare up during stressful periods, there’s a reason for that and it’s not in your head. The gut and brain are closely connected through what’s known as the gut–brain axis, meaning your emotional state can directly impact how your digestive system functions.

For people with IBS, stress can trigger very real physical symptoms like pain, bloating, or changes in digestion. So if your GP has ruled out anything serious and you still struggle, especially when life feels overwhelming, it doesn’t mean you’re imagining it, it means your body is responding to stress in a very real, physiological way.

Your experience is valid. Your symptoms are real. And understanding the connection between your mind and your gut is an important step toward managing both.

In just 5 days time, we'll be hosting our Masterclass with one of the world's leading voices in mindbody medicine...

Dr Howard Schubiner.

And honestly… this is a big one.

Dr Schubiner has helped shape how we understand chronic neuroplastic pain and symptoms today. He is...

👉 Director of the Mind Body Medicine Center at Ascension Providence Hospital
👉 Clinical Professor at Michigan State University
👉 Co-founder of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS)

He’s also the author of:
📘 Unlearn Your Pain
📘 Unlearn Your Anxiety and Depression
📘 Hidden From View (with Allan Abbass)

…and has a new book coming in May 2026 👀

Above all, he is known for making complex neuroscience feel human, hopeful… and genuinely life-changing.

His work (e.g. within the Boulder Back Pain Study and developing Emotion Awareness & Expression Therapy) has helped thousands rethink what’s possible when it comes to chronic pain recovery.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome him to Manchester alongside SIRPA.

💬 If you could ask Dr Schubiner ONE question about your symptoms or recovery… what would it be?

Hi, I’m Anna, a little reintroduction for any new followers.

My journey into holistic health began through personal challenges and loss, which led me to understand the powerful connection between emotional and physical wellbeing.

As an NHS GP, I saw that while conventional medicine is essential, it doesn’t always address the deeper drivers of chronic symptoms. That’s what led me to a more holistic, mind–body approach.

I now support people with chronic pain, migraines, fatigue and long COVID using a personalised approach, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic work.

I believe your body isn’t working against you, it’s trying to communicate with you.

If this resonates, you’re very welcome here.

Most people think they have a sleep problem…
when it’s actually a regulation problem.

You can do all the “right” things, early nights, less caffeine, better routines and still wake up exhausted.

Because if your body doesn’t feel safe, it won’t fully let go.

This is why so many people feel stuck in cycles of fatigue that don’t show up on tests.

The goal isn’t just more sleep.
It’s teaching your system how to switch off.

That’s where real energy starts to come back.

If this is something you’ve been struggling with, I talk a lot more about how to work with your nervous system, not against it.

Want a happier gut AND protect yourself from Type 2 diabetes? It starts simpler than you think.

Today I’ve broken it down: eating well doesn’t have to be complicated - small, consistent choices can make a powerful difference to your gut health, blood sugar, and long-term wellbeing.

Think whole foods, balanced meals, and keeping it simple 🥦

Your future self will thank you.

Rest is not a luxury - it’s essential.

Your body and mind need time to recover, reset, and feel safe. When your nervous system feels supported, you can manage stress better, sleep deeper, and approach life with more balance.

Looking after yourself isn’t indulgent, it’s fundamental for your health, wellbeing, and resilience. Even small moments of rest help signal to your body that it’s safe to relax and recharge.

Prioritise yourself. Your mind and body will thank you.
