In this episode, I’m joined by the deeply insightful and inspiring Cassie Barfield, a Therapeutic Counsellor based in the UK who now integrates mind-body work into her own practice to support others with chronic symptoms.
Cassie spent years navigating the exhausting and often confusing world of chronic UTIs and embedded infections — facing medical gaslighting, recurring symptoms, and the emotional toll of feeling stuck in her body.
She shares how her healing journey finally began to shift when she stepped outside the purely physical model of care and began to explore nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and emotional safety.
We also talk about the work we did together near the end of her healing process — the tools, mindset shifts, and somatic support that helped her finally get over the finish line.
This episode is for anyone who’s been told “everything looks normal” but still feels far from well — and is ready to hear what healing can really look like when we trust the body and take a mind-body approach.
You can get in touch with Cassie on her website.
