    The Benefits Of The Outdoors - Conversation With Katie Biggs Outdoor Therapist

    Get In Touch! In this episode of the Healing Beyond Health Anxiety podcast, I’m joined by Katie Biggs, a psychotherapist who specialises in outdoor therapy. Katie shares her journey from working as a flight attendant to training as a psychotherapist, and what led her to take therapy out of the traditional room and into nature. We talk about why working outdoors can feel so much less intense than sitting face-to-face in a therapy setting, and how walking side-by-side in nature can naturally reduce pressure, build trust, and support nervous system regulation. We explore the mental health benefits of movement, fresh air, and being away from distractions, and how nature can create a sense of safety and ease that’s especially helpful for anxiety. Katie also shares practical ways to bring more nature into your daily routine,  even if getting outdoors feels difficult or isn’t always possible. This episode is a refreshing conversation about an alternative approach to therapy, and a gentle reminder of how powerful reconnecting with nature can be for both our mental and physical wellbeing.

    Google, Panic, Repeat: Rob Prime's Journey Beyond Health Anxiety

    Get In Touch! In this episode of Healing Beyond Health Anxiety, I’m joined by Robert Prime, a former health anxiety sufferer and the author of Google Panic Repeat. Rob shares his personal journey with health anxiety and how it slowly crept into his life without him fully realising what was happening. What started quietly soon began to consume his day-to-day existence, with constant symptom scanning, obsessive Googling, and an endless need for reassurance. He speaks honestly about how deep it went, including how he managed to hide just how much he was struggling from most people around him,  even those closest to him. From the outside, life looked normal, but internally, he was fighting a relentless battle. Rob talks us through the turning point in his recovery,  not a sudden breakthrough, but a gradual shift. He explains how learning to reprogram his anxiety responses and focusing on little, consistent progress rather than a quick fix changed everything. We also discuss the importance of compassionate, understanding support from loved ones, and Rob shares practical insights for anyone currently stuck in the cycle of health anxiety. A key part of his recovery was rebuilding trust in his body through physical exercise, and he reflects on how movement helped him reconnect with his body in a safe, empowering way. We end the episode on a truly hopeful note, with Rob sharing that he is now living a relatively health-anxiety-free life and how he’s dedicated to helping others through his writing and lived experience.

    Guided Meditation for Easing Health Anxiety

    Get In Touch! In this episode of Healing Beyond Health Anxiety, I’m guiding you through a gentle meditation designed specifically for health anxiety. If meditation has ever felt intimidating, frustrating, or like something you’re “bad at,” I want you to know this straight away ... this isn’t about emptying your mind or doing anything perfectly. It’s about calming your nervous system and beginning to build a different relationship with anxiety, one rooted in safety rather than fear.  I’ll guide you through simple breathing, body awareness, and self-compassion practices to help your system soften and settle. Not to make symptoms disappear, but to help you feel safer in your body, even when sensations or anxious thoughts are present. I’ll also remind you of something I know is hard to believe when anxiety is loud.... you are not your symptoms, and you are not your thoughts. They’re experiences you’re having, not definitions of who you are. Healing from health anxiety doesn’t come from fighting fear or trying to get rid of it. It comes from learning how to make space for it without letting it run your life. That’s what this meditation is here to support. Wherever you’re listening from, however you’re feeling right now... you’re in the right place. Connect & Work With Me If you’re ready to move beyond health anxiety and start truly healing, I’d love to support you.

    Unveiling Holistic Healing with Sierra Smits

    Get In Touch! In this episode of Healing Beyond Health Anxiety, I’m joined by Sierra Smits, a chronic illness-informed naturopath, and we have such an important conversation about what it’s really like to live with chronic illness alongside health anxiety. Sierra shares her own journey... from battling severe health issues herself to becoming a naturopath ...and we talk honestly about the challenges that come with that path. We explore why supporting the nervous system is so crucial, how nutrition plays a role in healing, and why a truly holistic approach to health matters so much. What I love about this conversation is the emphasis on looking at the bigger picture rather than just chasing symptoms. Sierra explains how understanding the body as a whole ... not something that’s broken or failing ... can completely change the way we relate to our health. This episode is about education, empowerment, and self-care. It’s for anyone who wants to feel more informed, more in control, and more connected to their body rather than trapped in fear.

    A Calmer Christmas: Managing Health Anxiety During the Holidays

    Get In Touch! In this episode of Healing Beyond Health Anxiety, I’m diving into something that feels especially loud this time of year ... the pressure of Christmas when you live with health anxiety. I open up about the years I genuinely lost to fear at Christmas… those days where I was physically there but mentally trapped in symptoms, what-ifs, and body checking. If you’ve ever felt that knot in your stomach on a day that’s “supposed” to be magical, you are absolutely not alone. I talk through the unique challenges the holidays bring ... the overwhelm, the expectation for everything to be perfect, and yes… the elephant in the room: doctors’ surgeries running on reduced hours, which can crank health anxiety up to a whole new level. I also share the things that helped me get out of that cycle and start taking my Christmases back: grounding, breathwork, nervous system regulation, and releasing the pressure to “get it right.” It’s about finding those tiny pockets of presence instead of trying to force yourself to feel festive. You’ll also hear some gorgeous client wins that show what’s possible when you start trusting your body and gently shifting your focus back into the moment. If Christmas has felt hard for you in the past, or you’re worried about how you’ll cope this year, this episode will give you practical steps, reassurance, and a big exhale. You don’t have to suffer through it .... there is another way, and I’m right here walking it with you.

    Unlocking Gut Health: An In-Depth Conversation with Rachel Montero

    Get In Touch! In this episode, I chat with Rachel Montero, a nurse practitioner and holistic gut health specialist, about the powerful connection between gut health, anxiety, and overall well-being. Rachel opens up about her own experience with gut issues and anxiety, and how it led her to move from conventional to functional medicine to better understand the mind-gut connection. We dive into how restrictive diets can impact both the body and mind, what happens to digestion when we’re in fight-or-flight mode, and how hormonal changes can influence gut health—especially for women. Rachel also shares some really practical tips for supporting your gut, like mindful eating, preparing foods for easier digestion, and activating the vagus nerve to calm your nervous system. It’s a conversation packed with insights and gentle reminders for anyone who’s struggled with gut issues, health anxiety, or simply wants to feel more balanced and connected in their body.
