Pain and stress coach · Jannicken Jakobsen Klonteig
You can learn to live well – even with pain and stress. Together we’ll find a way of living that works for you.
Modus vivendi – a way of living
Long-term pain and stress affect more than the body. They decide what you have the energy for, who you see and how you sleep. Many people have tried a lot without finding anything that really helps.
There's no ready-made recipe for how you should live with your pain. But once you understand what's happening in your brain and body, it becomes easier to take action. I give you knowledge and practical tools you can use every day.
About me
I have worked as a coach for many years. My focus is on understanding and managing pain and stress.
Whether we work one-to-one or you meet me at a course or a talk, I explain what pain actually is. I talk about the brain’s pharmacy, the triune brain and our amazing nervous system – and teach good, practical techniques for managing pain and improving quality of life.

Knute i kroppen (“A knot in the body”) is the podcast of the Norwegian association for women’s pelvic girdle health (LKB). It puts the spotlight on women’s health – especially pelvic girdle pain.
In the episode I talk about my talk “Living with chronic pain”: what pain is, the brain’s pharmacy and the nervous system – and practical techniques you can use to manage pain and improve your quality of life. The episode is in Norwegian.
