Samphire Hayes- Pain Recovery Specialist
My name is Samphire. After living over a decade with chronic pain and feeling frustrated with the limitations of conventional medicine, I embarked on a personal journey to find relief. Through studying psychology and neuroscience combined with exploring practices such as natural movement, natural nutrition, mindfulness and nature immersion I gradually reclaimed my health and am now thriving.
Today, as a pain specialist psychotherapist and natural lifestyle coach, I am dedicated to supporting others who face chronic pain. Drawing from my own experiences, I tailor my chronic pain treatment approach to guide each individual towards healing, offering hope and empowerment along the way.
What is holistic pain therapy?
Whole being wellbeing
Our bodies are beautifully complex systems, and when one part is out of alignment, it impacts our whole being. To truly thrive, we must approach our health holistically, recognising that every aspect of our body is interconnected. Holistic pain therapy views pain as a whole-body issue, focusing on practices and lifestyle changes that nurture and support your entire system. By addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms, we can create a path to recovery that empowers you to live fully and vibrantly.
Holistic Pain Therapy integrates psychotherapy and coaching to address pain from a comprehensive perspective. It focuses on several key areas for chronic pain treatment to promote overall well-being:
- Counselling: Offering a compassionate space for individuals to feel heard and explore the impact of pain on their lives. This supportive dialogue helps uncover emotional factors related to pain, empowering clients to navigate their experiences more effectively and fostering a sense of control over their recovery journey.
- Natural Movement: Encouraging gentle movement that respects the body’s natural mechanics, helping to restore function and reduce pain.
- Nutrition: Emphasising the importance of nourishing the body with whole foods to support healing and energy levels.
- Sleep: Prioritising restorative sleep as a vital component of health, helping to repair the body and mind.
- Mindfulness: Incorporating mindfulness practices to enhance self-awareness and reduce stress, fostering a deeper connection with oneself.
- Nature Connection: Connecting with nature to lower stress and enhance mood, facilitating relaxation and promoting overall well-being. This connection helps individuals find peace and fosters a sense of grounding, which can significantly aid in pain relief and recovery.
- Communication: Enhancing self-talk, interpersonal skills, and emotional expression to foster healthy relationships with yourself and others, all of which play a crucial role in healing.
- Mindset: Shifting perspectives and empowering individuals to take charge of their healing journey.
Addressing these interconnected areas provides a well-rounded approach to managing pain and promoting a vibrant, fulfilling life.
