Jane Shaw MA, RCST
Jane Shaw is a certified women-centred coach, registered biodynamic craniosacral therapist (BCST), writer and educator with over twenty years’ experience in health and wellbeing. Her work sits at the meeting point of trauma-informed neurobiology, Jungian depth psychology and embodied practice. She is the founder of SIMPLE Listening™—a relational and somatic framework that cultivates biological safety so truth, agency and authentic self-expression can emerge.
Jane’s coaching and therapeutic work are deeply integrated. As a certified coach, she guides women through structured, transformational journeys that support self-knowing, authentic expression and sovereign leadership. As an experienced BCST practitioner, she brings refined skills in nervous system regulation, attunement and subtle listening to the body’s rhythms. Together, these disciplines create a unique approach: one that honours both the physiology of safety and the psychology of meaning, enabling clients to feel safe enough to be fully seen, to speak truth without losing belonging, and to hold power without harm.
My Approach
She delivers trauma-informed SIMPLE Listening™ programmes, postgraduate BCST workshops and retreat experiences for individuals and organisations online, in Ireland and internationally. Jane is a senior tutor with Body College, teaching on the two-year craniosacral practitioner training, and she runs a BCST clinic in County Down. Her teaching approach is one of embodied presence, compassion, equanimity and deep listening, bridging the latest developments in neuroscience and new medicine with lessons from ancient healing arts.
Committed to elevating the global conversation in body-mind medicine, Jane has organised conferences and international events that have become respected platforms for emerging ideas in trauma and somatic practice. She has convened and collaborated with leading voices in the field, fostering dialogue that integrates science, clinical insight and lived experience.
Before dedicating herself fully to mind-body health, Jane worked in business and finance, including serving as Finance Director of a boutique consumer brand and entertainment PR agency in London. This experience gives her a grounded understanding of organisational life, leadership pressure and the biopsychosocial impact of modern systems—insight she now brings to the women leaders and change-makers she supports.
Jane holds an M.A. in Economics from the University of Edinburgh and an M.A. in Jungian and Archetypal Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is a registered craniosacral therapist. After many years in London, she now lives and works in County Down, Northern Ireland, where land, lineage and the rhythms of the natural world continue to inform her practice.
