Self-Led Recovery & Purpose

Guidance for those navigating chronic pain, burnout, career transition, life change, purpose seeking or a life-changing diagnosis.

You don’t need fixing. You need to be deeply heard — especially by yourself.

My work as a Self-Leadership & Recovery Mentor is grounded in a simple truth:

Sometimes, life brings us to a stop or crossroads — not to break us, but to call us back to ourselves.

Whether you’re dealing with persistent pain, fatigue, a recent diagnosis, or an inner disquiet that won’t be silenced, this is an invitation to slow down, listen, and begin again — from within.

You’re Not Starting Over — You’re Starting Truer.

Hello, I’m Dr Colin Clarey

With over 33 years in clinical practice as a chiropractor, my journey took a radical turn after a serious spinal injury and, later, a diagnosis of lumbar stenosis. These experiences brought me face-to-face with my own nervous system, patterns of pressure, and need for control. I had to let go of old identities and learn to lead myself gently, honestly, and skillfully.

Now I walk beside others through similar transitions — helping them reconnect to their inner compass and build a new way forward, one that’s aligned, empowered, and sustainable.

How We Can Work Together

You can begin your recovery journey in a few different ways:

Self-Led Recovery & Purpose — Online Course (Coming Soon)

A powerful, self-paced program designed to help you move from external fixing to internal alignment. This course lays the groundwork for nervous system recovery, somatic release, and reclaiming the body as ally.

Start with this if you want to explore on your own first — with guided practices, insights, and deep personal reflection.

1:1 Mentoring (Available Now)

Tailored support for those seeking personalised guidance. I offer one-off deep-dive consults or ongoing mentorship for those navigating complex health journeys or life crossroads.

Ideal if you want help applying the course teachings to your unique situation — or you're ready for more direct support.
