Hi, I’m Rowan.
And I’ve been there too.
I’m a Pain Reprocessing Coach and yoga teacher based in Berlin. I work in English and German.
Having suffered from Long Covid symptoms for two-and-a-half years, and lower back pain for many years, I know first-hand how chronic pain and symptoms can restrict your life and leave you feeling hopeless and alone. Discovering mindbody approaches changed everything for me—and guiding others through this process is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.
My previous roles have included academic research, teaching, writing, and editing. This background shapes how I coach: I care about evidence and about explaining things clearly and accurately.
