Simone Holderbach is a neuroplastic symptom recovery coach, neurology-informed manual therapist, and the creator of mindbodyJOY and GLIMMER.

​​

For well over a decade, Simone has supported clients navigating complex and chronic pain conditions through her clinic, Eastside Bodywork in Bellevue, WA, and her chronic pain coaching practice, The MindBody Approach. Her approach blends hands-on expertise with the latest advances in pain neuroscience, nervous system education, and evidence-based treatment — helping people not only recover from symptoms but retrain the brain's role in processing pain.

​

After navigating neuroplastic symptoms with her teenage sons and recognizing the limitations of traditional medicine, Simone dove deep into the science of psychophysiologic disorders, chronic pain recovery, and nervous system healing. She is certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, trained in Emotional Awareness and Expression techniques, and integrates brain-based tools, mindfulness, and trauma-informed coaching into her work. She has trained with Prof. Lorimer Moseley, Dr. Howard Schubiner, and other leading experts in pain neuroscience and mindbody medicine.

​

Through mindbodyJOY and GLIMMER, Simone brings together her passion for neuroscience, positive psychology, and community — making the daily practice of nervous system safety accessible for people living with chronic symptoms and chronic stress. Her work is grounded in the belief that joy isn't a reward for healing. It's part of the mechanism.

​

Endlessly curious and a lifelong learner, Simone continues to explore the intersection of neuroscience, positive affect research, and recovery — always seeking new ways to help people feel more alive, more at ease, and more like themselves again.
