Feel supported in your body, from within.
A 12-week online program combining physiotherapy based strength training with somatic embodiment coaching.
For women who are used to supporting everyone around them and are ready to be supported themselves.
Physically. Emotionally. Energetically.
Physiotherapy builds strength and stability in the body. Embodiment coaching creates the space to safely unravel what the body has been storing — emotionally and energetically.
Most programs offer one or the other. The Supported Body offers both, and the result is something neither alone can give you:
ease in the body, and the deep trust that you can support yourself.
Sound familiar?
You're used to supporting everyone around you. And somewhere along the way, you stopped feeling supported yourself.
High-functioning and quietly exhausted. Carrying others while running on empty. Doing it all and feeling none of it. You've become so good at holding everything together that you've lost touch with what it feels like to simply be held.
Maybe you've tried physio, yoga, or massage. Each one helps a little. But none of it quite gets to the root. Like each approach addresses a part of you, but not the whole. What's missing is the place where the physical, emotional, and energetic all meet.
And maybe you're exhausted from trying. From the appointments, the hoping, the researching what might finally help. From showing up again and again and still not feeling a lasting or sustainable difference in your body.
What many people are really looking for isn't just less pain or less tension. It's ease. Relaxed confidence. The quiet trust that you can support yourself. That you don't have to hold yourself together so tightly anymore.
You're used to being the one who supports everyone around you
You're high-functioning on the outside and quietly running on empty
You rarely feel fully relaxed, even when you're restingYou hold tension no matter how much stretching or massage you get
Lower back pain, neck tension, or migraines are familiar
Your nervous system feels like it's always "on" or feel “tired but wired”
You feel disconnected from your body or numb, like you're just coping
You're navigating post-viral fatigue or long COVID and your body no longer feels like your own
You want to feel centred and stable from within, rather than constantly bracing with exertion
The Supported Body method
Where the physical meets the emotional and energetic.
In over 20 years of practice, I haven't found another program that brings these two approaches together in this way. The Supported Body was built because that program didn't exist. Because I needed it myself.
Progressive, manageable training sessions designed to build genuine physical support from the foundations up — breath, core coordination, and strength. 15-20 minutes, 3 times a week.
Learning to breathe in a way that supports both movement and nervous system regulation — often the missing piece for people with chronic tension, pain, or instability.
An inquiry-based method focused on felt sensation. Creating the space for what the body has been storing — emotionally and energetically — to unravel, safely, in real time.
What people say
“Robin created such a safe and open space to explore, feel and move freely. I learnt so much more about myself, embracing who I am in its fullness and bringing parts of myself home that had felt lost along the way of life.”

Hi, I’m Robin.
I work with women who are used to supporting everyone around them. High-functioning, capable, and often the person everyone relies on. Women who are carrying so much while quietly running on empty. Doing it all and feeling none of it. Women who have become so good at holding everything together that they've lost touch with what it feels like to simply be held.
I started practicing as a physiotherapist in 2007. For the first decade, I worked in private practice helping people reduce pain, move more freely, and recover from injury. It was rewarding work. But I kept running into the same wall.
Pain is complex. It's shaped by stress, trauma, beliefs, emotional suppression, relational patterns, nervous system state. And in standard practice, I couldn't touch most of that. What I was seeing in people's bodies was so clearly connected to what was happening in their lives.
After a decade in clinic I burned out. My own body became the teacher. Chronic pain, migraines, long COVID, sustained high stress. I lived through what so many of my clients were navigating.
That's when I found embodiment coaching. And something clicked. It was the space I'd always wanted to offer. The place where the emotional, energetic, and underlying layers that drive physical symptoms can actually be met.
The Supported Body emerged from bringing all of it together.
It's the program I wish had existed when I needed it most.
