Empowering Wellness: Jane works with a wide variety of medical conditions.

Jane has dedicated her professional life to serving adults dealing with chronic health conditions and weight management issues. Her passion lies in providing psychological strategies and health coaching interventions tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Among the myriad of medical conditions her clients live with, some include rarer conditions such as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a condition characterised by increased pressure within the skull without any discernible cause. This can lead to debilitating headaches, vision problems, and other neurological symptoms. Jane’s approach in managing this condition involves counselling and cognitive-behavioural therapy to help patients cope with pain and stress, as well as lifestyle modification strategies to reduce risk factors.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that primarily affect the skin, joints, and blood vessels. Patients with EDS often struggle with chronic pain and fatigue. Jane employs a combination of stress reduction strategies, and cognitive-behavioural therapy to help these patients improve their quality of life.

Heart Disease

Heart disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect the heart, including coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems, and congenital heart defects. Jane’s approach to managing heart disease involves stress management techniques, lifestyle modification strategies, and cognitive-behavioural therapy to help patients cope with the emotional impact of living with a chronic illness.

Comprehensive support from Jane

Jane’s comprehensive approach to managing these and other medical conditions is rooted in her belief in the benefits of psychological strategies and health coaching interventions. She understands that each patient is unique and requires a personalised approach to care. Her ultimate goal is to empower her clients to take control of their health and live fulfilling lives despite their medical conditions.
