Finding Empowerment in a Body-Mind Approach to Chronic Illness With Tina Clarke | 46

Reframing Chronic Illness

Today I’m talking with Tina Clarke, who is 43 years old. Whilst age is not something I usually mention, you’ll understand why when you listen to this episode, because Tina was born with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis and received a double lung transplant in 2014. 

Along with talking about how her diagnosis has changed meanings, how the very information and prognosis surrounding her diagnosis has changed in her lifetime, and how that relates so much to how many of us experience chronic illness, we also talk about Tina’s work and passion in body-mind health and wellness, a field she’s worked in for over 20 years helping hundreds of people with various conditions. 

She specialises now in Somatic Movement and Embodiment for trauma, anxiety and stress due to living with chronic illness, cancer or organ transplant, which is something we go on to talk about in detail.

Through her work, Tina empowers individuals to understand how their body-mind is affected by their health and medical experiences, and how they can improve their resilience, emotional balance, anxiety and traumatic stress symptoms through a body based approach, whilst incrementally improving their relationship with their body, whatever their physical condition.
