When Pain Speaks — We Listen
Still Searching for Relief from Chronic Pain?
You’ve been living with it for so long. The constant ache, the nagging stiffness, the persistent pain that just won’t quit. Maybe it’s a fibromyalgia flare, a compressed spine, relentless migraines, or knee problems that keep you from living fully. You’ve tried countless appointments, endless tests, and perhaps even been told surgery is the only option left. You've done everything you thought you should, but the relief you’re searching for still feels out of reach.
You're not alone in this struggle with long-term pain. And what if there’s more to your story than what the scans can show?
We don’t fight pain — we listen to it.
At The Healing Barn, we understand that living with persistent pain is exhausting and isolating. We also believe that your body is incredibly wise. Sometimes, when the usual answers don't fit – when doctors can’t pinpoint a definitive cause for your chronic discomfort – it's because your body is trying to communicate something in its own unique way.
Think of that enduring ache in your back, or the tightness in your shoulders that never seems to ease. Could these sensations be more than just a physical problem? Could they be a signal, a way your body is drawing your attention to something deeper than just the pain itself?
Scott & Melissa Holdem, Your Wellbeing Practitioners
Pain and the Nervous System
We offer a different approach to chronic pain management – one that honours your experience and gently explores the many layers of what might be contributing to your discomfort. This isn't about dismissing what you've been through or the diagnoses you've received, but about opening up to the possibility that there are other pieces to the puzzle.
Imagine a path where you feel truly heard and understood, where your body's messages are acknowledged, and where you can begin to unravel the underlying tensions contributing to your pain. This holistic approach can offer profound pain relief when other methods have fallen short.
This might be for you if…
You’ve had ongoing pain with no clear diagnosis
You've tried physio or massage and it helps — but only for a little while
You feel like you’re carrying emotional weight that your body can’t shake
You’re ready to explore a more holistic way of healing
You want to feel more connected to your body, not at war with it

Melissa’s work with the Emotion Code, Belief Code, and ConTact C.A.R.E - Flinchlock Release offers a tender way back to yourself. Not the self shaped by pain, protection, or old beliefs - but the part of you that’s been quietly waiting beneath it all.
Pain and tension aren’t always about injury. So often, they’re the body’s way of saying: “Something mattered here” A moment that landed too hard, too fast, too young.
A flinch that never released. An emotion that didn’t have space to move. A belief that settled in and silently began running the show.
In session, we listen - not to the noise of fixing or figuring out - but to the soft signals beneath it all.
We follow the body’s cues, and gently meet the places that still think they need to hold on.
Melissa creates a space that is steady and kind, where your system can begin to feel what it’s safe to let go of. As the flinch releases, as old emotion and belief patterns dissolve, the body begins to exhale. And what’s left is something quieter, lighter, more true.
You’re not broken. You don’t need to be fixed. You’ve just been carrying more than you realised - and now, there’s space to lay it down.
If you’re living with ongoing pain — tight shoulders, aching hips, old injuries that never quite settled — you’ve probably already tried a lot. Maybe you've stretched, seen specialists, or pushed through it. But the pain keeps coming back.
Scott works with pain differently.
Using a mix of ConTact C.A.R.E, somatic bodywork, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), he helps you tune in to what your body might really be trying to say. Pain is often the body’s way of protecting you — holding tension from old impacts, stress, or emotions that were never fully processed.
Scott doesn’t aim to “fix” you. Instead, he works gently with your body’s natural protective responses, helping you release what’s been held — physically and emotionally.
This is a safe, down-to-earth space to stop fighting your pain and start understanding it. And when your body feels heard, it can finally start to let go.
