Emotional Healing through a Mindfulness-Based Approach
In today’s fast-paced world, emotional issues such as anxiety, insecurity, and trauma are increasingly common, yet they often go unresolved. Many of us are constantly seeking peace but are held back by feelings of unworthiness and emotional baggage that prevent us from living in harmony with ourselves and others. Emotional healing is a profound journey, and through a mindfulness-based approach, it is possible to achieve genuine peace and well-being.
Why Mindfulness is Key to Emotional Healing
Mindfulness allows us to fully engage with both our inner and outer experiences. When we are emotionally distressed, our natural response may be to avoid or suppress those feelings. However, healing begins when we acknowledge and explore these emotions in a calm, non-judgmental space. By practising mindfulness, we can begin to connect with feelings that have long been hidden, enabling us to process them effectively.
During a session, I guide clients to notice their thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and memories. These mindful observations help uncover deep-rooted feelings of insecurity or trauma that may have been suppressed for years. The process is gentle and supportive, ensuring that clients feel safe while confronting difficult emotions.
Emotional Issues I Work With
Some of the emotional issues that I specialize in include:
- Anxiety
- Anger
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Bereavement
- Loneliness
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Shame and Guilt
- Fear and Confidence issues
- General Stress and Adjustment Problems
These emotional challenges can often manifest in physical symptoms, such as recurring pain, addictive behaviours, or a general sense of disconnection from oneself, loved ones, or life.
Recognizing Symptoms of Emotional Imbalance
Emotional distress often manifests as physical and behavioural symptoms, including:
- Feeling ungrounded or in a trance-like state
- Losing touch with the body, particularly due to health issues
- Persistent undercurrents of anxiety or depression
- Constantly feeling rushed or chaotic
- Addictive behaviours, whether it’s substance abuse or dependency on others to fill emotional voids
- Chronic pain or recurring health issues
Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing. Emotional distress not only affects mental health but can have long-term consequences on physical well-being.

- Breathwork and Anchoring Techniques: These allow clients to focus and centre themselves during emotional upheavals.
- Visualization Exercises: Designed to foster relaxation and emotional release.
I tailor each session to the individual’s specific needs and goals. Often,
Praise for emotional kinesiology
“I was at a very low point in my life when I decided to see Pauline for kinesiology. I was experiencing back problems, stress, anxiety and feeling low due to ongoing back pain and feeling hopeless about the future. I felt as though I had tried everything without getting anywhere.
After my first session, I walked away feeling lighter and that something significant had shifted. After a couple of sessions, my back has improved, and my anxiety is much better.
Pauline has given me so much time and compassion. Pauline’s holistic approach is like nothing I have experienced before; she has a true gift, and I would highly recommend Pauline to anyone who is struggling with physical and emotional issues.”
Thank you to my client for her kind words.
