MIGRAINE
Migraine has shaped a significant part of my personal and professional life. Through LoveJosephine, I share practical information, lived experience and research-informed perspectives on migraine, with a growing interest in its psychological and neurocognitive dimensions.
Living with Migraine
Living with migraine is about more than managing attacks. It can affect work, study, relationships, routines and the way you plan everyday life. This section brings together practical reflections and resources shaped by both lived experience and evidence.
Understanding Migraine
Migraine is a complex neurological condition that can involve much more than head pain. This section focuses on understanding migraine more clearly, including its symptoms, triggers, patterns and the factors that can influence how it is experienced and managed.
Psychology & Neuroscience
I’m particularly interested in what psychology and neuroscience can add to our understanding of migraine, including attention, cognition, stress, trauma, pain processing and other factors that may shape the experience of living with a chronic neurological condition.
Yoga & Embodied Practice
Yoga, movement, mindfulness and other embodied practices can be part of how some people support their wellbeing alongside migraine care. Here, I explore these practices carefully, drawing on both my experience as a yoga teacher and what current research can tell us about their role and limitations.
Research, Writing & Resources
This section brings together my writing, research interests and selected resources on migraine and chronic pain, including the psychological and neurocognitive questions I’m exploring through my postgraduate studies.
