Pain Freedom Pathway Course

This course is for you if:

  • You have had back pain, neck pain, or other musculo-skeletal pain for at least a year that is affecting your quality of life.
  • You want to get back to doing what is important to you. You don’t want pain to keep overshadowing everything.
  • You are fed up with trying ‘quick fixes’ that don’t last, or exercises that don’t help.
  • You are prepared to make some changes (these won’t be big demands on your time and energy, but if you don’t change anything, your pain won’t change…..)
  • You want support and care to turn this around, not be left to struggle on your own.

If you’re nodding along to the above, then let’s talk.

Pain is such an individual thing, so it’s best to just have talk to see whether this is the right approach for you.

So, I invite you to book a confidential chat below. 

If I think I can help you, and crucially, if you are interested! – I’ll let you know a bit more about the Pain Freedom Pathway Course. This isn’t a sales call. It’s a conversation to get to know you and your problems.

And if we’re not a good fit, I’ll help you figure out what the next steps you could take to help your pain – usually in a way that makes your life easier!

What I can promise you is that this 30 minutes will be worth the effort.

What people say about the Pain Freedom Pathway

I have been suffering with mid back, shoulder and neck tension and pain since I was a teenager. My job as a dental nurse not helping matters. I was looking for ways to teach myself how to hold my body to relieve tension. Mireille has been an amazing guide through the Alexander technique process. Helping you to re-train your thinking and therefore being more aware of how you and your muscles react to and hold tension, and therefore be able to gently release it. 

Mireille’s course is very comprehensive. She provides sessions with her in person, along side an online learning course, as well accompanying feedback for each session with her. She is always positive, encouraging, every little step forward you make is a success. It’s really made a difference to my thinking. I notice now when I’m holding tension in my muscles and the noticing means I can make a change. 

I highly recommend Mireille and her teaching of the Alexander technique!

I’ve suffered with back pain for many decades, so when I had the opportunity to work with Mireille I jumped in without hesitation. I was very motivated because I had resigned myself to a life of pain which I thought could only get worse the older I got. 

There were some light bulb moments like when the sensitisation of pain was explained & that really helped me to see that I didn’t need to fear the pain. I realised I could be in charge! The tendonitis I’d had in my shoulder disappeared & I finally had the courage to go on a long walk which I hadn’t done for years & I didn’t have the usual back pain. 

I feel empowered & now fit the techniques Mireille has taught me into my daily schedule.

More reviews of the Pain Freedom Pathway

Mireille is an absolute pleasure and joy to work with.  She has a great gift for conveying the information in a way you can understand.  Mireille is kind, generous, gentle and supportive.  Mireille’s course content is amazing and thorough, it helped me to look at moving in a completely different way.  I have been able to let go of beating myself up so much for my body’s inadequacies and lack of movement.

My pain is more manageable and more in control and my muscle tension has greatly reduced.  Things have started to unwind due to Mireille’s tips, tricks and techniques.  Mireille quickly is able to get to the core of your issue and helps you to work through it in a kind, compassionate way.

I highly recommend Mireille as an Alexander Technique teacher, her course, private sessions.  I have even had amazing insights just from her newsletters.  She is dedicated to helping people in pain.

Alison

This pain course is transformational! I have so much more understanding of the way my body works physically and how powerful the mind body connection is. The bringing together of these two areas of information and awareness have been so valuable. 

I haven’t experienced any back pain since starting this course despite doing some fairly heavy manual work in that time. 

 Even more of a bonus is I now have the freedom of not being in fear of my back ‘going’ because of the valuable knowledge and tools I have learnt.

Rachel

I have had ongoing back issues all my adult life and have always heard that this technique could be the answer but had never really understood what it was or how I could practice it. It has transformed my belief in what me and my back are able to do.

She is very good at giving me tiny digestible bits of information for me to take away and work on. The practice has seeped into my life, standing, lying, sitting, moving and last month I found myself lugging around large stand alone ovens as if they were fluffy pillows.

I tell people about what the concept is and I always say it is difficult to explain without sounding a bit woo-woo but, it is stripping away the bad habits and tension picked up through the years and realigning your posture and movement to mimic how you stood and moved as a child.

The sessions are very relaxing and I am not joking when I say that I would like to continue seeing her for the rest of my life.

There are also listen at home recordings so that I can practice in between sessions. I can not recommend more highly.

I came across Mireille and her work via social media and was intrigued to find out more about her approach and the Alexander technique, too. As a fellow vet with a similar pain story, I got in touch and we set up an initial call.

Needless to say, I signed up to the Mireille’s Pain Freedom Pathway. For me, having a structured program to work through and learn more is an important part of this. The course is easy to follow with great little videos that are not too long and easy to implement. I valued the live Zoom calls with Mireille, too. She is great at spotting tension held in the body and has really made me understand and use key elements of the Alexander technique in my every day life.

Her approach is very individual and she always took my progress and challenges into account during each session and ensured that the work we did during the online session was applicable and meaningful in what I was trying to do in real life.

I recommend working with Mireille if you are suffering from persistent pain and want to learn a different (and more gentle) approach to moving, reconnecting with your body and creating more awareness around movement patterns and habits.
