About Me
Hi, I am Pauline Stiles...
I am a Body Therapist and Compassion Coach working with individuals and groups who are stuck in patterns of internal and external suffering and struggle with their mental, physical and emotional health.
Together we shine a light onto the problematic thoughts and behaviours to understand their motives and origin.
With compassion and openness, a loving and healthy relationship can be created towards themselves and their bodies so they move forward from the pain of the past and live more in the present moment.
I hold a safe and sacred space for my clients to process, heal and reconnect to the wisdom and truth of their hearts, allowing them to see and feel beneath the emotional pain, unprocessed trauma and limiting beliefs.
I am a regulated witness to their pain so it can be fully felt and metabolised and a guide helping reconnection back to the body.
With their new found understanding, compassion and open heartedness, more peace, acceptance and love is experienced.
This work is deep, sacred and profoundly healing.
Why Choose Me?
I have been a body worker for over 25 years and in that time have come to believe without doubt that our bodies hold all the unintegrated feelings, emotions and experiences from our past that were not fully processed.
This energy gets stuck in our joints and tissues causing stress, pain and sometimes injury to wake us up to ourselves. We develop all kinds of adaptive behaviours to cope and avoid the pain.
In 2017 it was suggested to me that I had Complex Post Traumatic Stress because I had been experiencing chronic pain for years. From then until now I have explored this possibility taking me to the world of IFS - Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory and the deep transformative approach created by Gabor Mate called Compassionate Inquiry.
I have spent these last years training in these modalities and specifically the last 2 years training in Compassionate Inquiry Certification where I have experienced personally the deepest of healings and watched my peers and clients do the same.
I am now a Polyvagal informed, Certified Compassionate Inquiry Therapist offering this deep, precious healing space to the brave souls that undertake this sometimes gruelling, yet profoundly transformative work.
Testimonials
Don't Take My Word For It
"With Pauline holding the space for me, what I experienced was nothing less than deep and profound in her ability to hold me wherever I would go. I always felt safe in her presence knowing that she was holding the container of our interaction, this allowed me to dive deeply to places I never knew were there without fear of getting lost and feeling alone. I am deeply grateful to have Pauline in my life."

"My sessions with Pauline were liberating. She has a calm and empathetic energy that allowed me to open up and feel safe. I found myself being vulnerable by peeling back the layers of my past traumas. With her support I've been able to make connections between past events and my emotional triggers but also be more aware of my body reactions."

I would highly recommend Pauline and Compassionate Inquiry to anyone who is serious about healing trauma's and old wounds or if struggling or stuck in life.
Pauline's passion, professionalism and care are so clearly felt. Her support, acceptance and safety allowed me to trust her and myself to be really honest and vulnerable. For the first time ever I had permission to feel my feelings and emotions with no judgement and acceptance, helping me feel safe to fully feel and learn how to manage myself without overwhelm or fear guiding me and literally holding my hand in the process. I feel I have achieved 5 years worth of therapy in a very short space of time.

“Pauline immediately made me feel at ease. She created such a warm and kind place that I quickly found myself opening up and discussing deep issues that I wasn’t even consciously aware of before. Her gentle, but firm questioning made me challenge myself and opened up my awareness to whole new levels. Her compassion and empathy radiated through each session. I adored the grounding we would do at the start of sessions as it gave me the opportunity to relax and be really present with myself - something that I had struggled with so much in the past. Through our coaching I learnt so much about myself and what I needed to do to break patterns of behaviour. I cannot recommend Pauline highly enough. She is an incredible coach, who will do the exact right amount of both caring and challenging you.”
