Colleen Jorgensen

Osteopath / Speaker / Pain Care Educator / yoga, Pilates & somatic teacher

Colleen is an Osteopath, Athletic Therapist, a Pain Care Aware Lead Trainer and a therapeutic Pilates, yoga, and Somatic teacher. She started dancing at the age of 3 and hasn't stopped exploring movement since!

A deep fascination with how the body moves led her to a B.Sc. in Exercise Science with a specialty in Athletic Therapy. Her love of palpation and curiosity about how the body & mind are connected led her to earn a post-graduate degree as an Manual Osteopath.
She’s best known for bringing creativity and science together in her compassionate approach to pain care, movement and education. Combining manual therapy, neuroscience and the polyvagal theory with embodied movement, mindfulness, and a sense of curiosity & play offers her clients a truly unique experience.

Colleen founded and ran a multidisciplinary clinic and Pilates’ studio for 16 years until a spinal cord compression injury changed her path quite suddenly.

Living with chronic pain for over a decade has given Colleen invaluable insight into the day-to-day challenges those in pain face. In 2020 she launched D.A.R.E to Heal, a 12-week online pain care program that empowers people to become their own best expert.

As a speaker and teacher Colleen is on a mission to let people know how much they can do to help themselves. She offer lectures, courses, workshops, and teacher trainings on topics like befriending the nervous system, embodied anatomy, somatic movement, and compassionate, creative pain care.
