My Story

My name is Jasmine (Jaz). I am 42 and from Hertfordshire in the UK.

For a long time, being “ill” felt like my entire identity.

Not just something I was experiencing — but something I was.
As though my body was broken, unreliable, and working against me.

I spent nearly two decades trying to heal my body without fully understanding why it was struggling in the first place. I tried everything I could access at the time — conventional medicine, alternative therapies, supplements, diets, mindset work, read every self help book I could find — all with the same quiet hope that this might finally be the thing that gave me my life back.

Finally after 18 years of being medically gaslit and being told I was a hypochondriac, my symptoms were psychosomatic, or just anxiety. I was diagnosed with:
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Ulcerative Colitis. CPTSD. Panic Disorder. PCOS and POTS.

Each diagnosis finally explained a piece of the puzzle — but none of them explained the whole experience of living in a body that felt the enemy - unsafe, unpredictable, and constantly on edge.

What I didn’t understand back then was that my body wasn’t failing me.

It was protecting me.

The Shift That Changed Everything

The biggest turning point in my healing didn’t come from another diagnosis, protocol, or treatment plan.

It came when I learned about the nervous system.

Understanding how chronic stress, trauma, long-term overwhelm, and fear loops affect the body reframed everything I thought I knew about illness, anxiety, and healing. For the first time, my symptoms made sense — not as signs of a broken body, but as signs of a nervous system that had been living in survival mode for far too long.

My body wasn’t defective.
It was intelligent.
Protective.
And deeply dysregulated.

That reframe was life-changing.

Instead of fighting my body, I began learning how to listen to it.
Instead of pushing for fixes, I started creating safety.

And slowly — gently — things began to shift.

My logo is a Phoenix and the reason for this is it is a symbol of deep personal transformation, everything this company is about.

Why I Trained (And Why It Matters)

I didn’t train in this work because I wanted titles or credibility on paper.

I trained because I needed answers.

I needed to understand what my body had been doing all those years. Why certain symptoms flared under stress. Why rest didn’t always feel restful. Why reassurance didn’t always calm my system. Why my body reacted before my mind could catch up.

So I studied — deeply and deliberately.

I trained as a Somatic Coach, learning how to regulate the body through sensation rather than thought alone.
I became a Polyvagal Practitioner, understanding how the nervous system moves between safety, stress, and shutdown — and how to support it back toward regulation.
I trained in Mindset Coaching, not to bypass emotions, but to gently shift thought patterns that keep the body locked in fear.
I studied Neuroscience and Neuroplasticity, learning how the brain and nervous system can rewire over time through consistent, safe experiences.
And I trained as a Metaphysical Practitioner, exploring the deeper relationship between mind, body, meaning, and identity.

I wasn’t studying theory.

I was living it.

And once I began to heal — not perfectly, not linearly, but meaningfully — I knew I wanted to help others in a way that felt humane, grounded, and empowering.

Not overwhelming.
Not clinical.
And never fear-based.

Lived Experience Matters

While I’m now formally trained and qualified, what I bring to this work goes far beyond certifications.

I bring lived experience.

I know what it’s like to try everything.
To feel dismissed, misunderstood, or told “this is just how it is now.”
To live in a body that doesn’t feel safe or predictable.
To feel trapped between symptoms and solutions that don’t quite land.

I know the fear that comes with panic.
The exhaustion that comes with chronic illness.
The grief of losing versions of yourself you never expected to lose.
And the quiet hope that maybe — just maybe — your body isn’t broken after all.

That understanding shapes everything I create.

I don’t teach from a pedestal.
I teach from experience.

What This Space Is About

The Happiness Rehab Co. exists to help people reconnect with their bodies, understand their nervous systems, and reclaim a sense of safety from the inside out.

This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding yourself.

You don’t need to be spiritual.
You don’t need to meditate on a mountain.
You don’t need to force positivity or bypass pain.

You need tools that help your body feel safe again.

Here, you’ll find:

• nervous-system-informed education

• simple, accessible regulation practices

• gentle mindset reframes

• honest conversations about healing

• and resources designed to support autonomy, not dependency

I create digital books, guides, blogs and — soon — courses that are designed to be returned to again and again, at your own pace, in your own time.

No pressure.
No urgency.
No “heal faster” promises.

Just support that meets you where you are.

My Intention

I didn’t want all those years of suffering to be for nothing.

My intention is simple:

• to translate complex nervous system concepts into human language

• to help people stop fearing their bodies

• and to remind you that healing doesn’t have to be heavy to be real

If you’re here because your body feels confusing, overwhelming, or unsafe — you’re not broken.

You’re human.

And you’re welcome here.

This is me, passing the torch 🤍
