The Problem We Help You Solve
Transforming Pain and Rediscovering Purpose
In our journey together, we'll approach chronic pain from multiple angles. One of the most important things we will do is reduce the fear and anxiety around chronic pain. We will dive into the science of pain, and understand how fear, worry, and frustration are the fuel that drives chronic pain. There are a number of science-backed tools we can use to help change your perception and your relationship with pain.
In addition, in order to heal, it is important that we befriend our bodies. Instead of seeing pain as an enemy or as our body betraying us, we'll learn to understand that pain is our body's way of alerting us that something is wrong and trying to protect us. In fact, pain can hold valuable lessons for us. Through evidence based somatic tools, we will help you feel more safety in your own body.
By approaching pain reduction from cognitive, behavioral, and somatic techniques, we will help you transform your relationship with pain. Throughout this process, we'll uncover opportunities for insights, learning, and growth amidst the challenges of chronic pain. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, we'll embrace these moments as chances for self-discovery, understanding, and personal development. We will be there with you throughout this journey for support.
Through our collaboration, you will learn pain reduction techniques rooted in neuroscience, helping you understand the root causes of your pain and offering practical strategies to manage it.

How Do We Make This Happen?
1️⃣ What is Your Pain to Purpose Story?
Making Space for Your Transformation and Owning the Truth of Your Healing Journey.
You might have tried everything, and think that chronic pain is something you have to endure without relief.
You might be afraid that true healing is unattainable. We will discuss the recent discoveries showing that healing is possible.
We create a space where you can feel safe and where we understand that your pain is real. We provide space and acknowledgement of the incredible difficulty of dealing with pain on a day to day basis, when it can seem invisible to others. We allow exploration of the complete truth of your pain, so that we can develop your healing journey.
What is the truth of your Pain to Purpose story? What will be possible for you when you break free from chronic pain and rediscover your purpose and joy? We will take small, achievable steps each week that will allow you to reach your larger goals.
2️⃣ Do You Have Any Resistance?
Identifying and Transforming Parts Invested in Chronic Pain.
Chronic pain has become a familiar state for your unconscious, maintaining patterns of thinking and familiar behaviors.
Our task is to befriend the unconscious parts of you invested in the persistence of chronic pain and invite them on the journey of transformation.
Even when change is good, and it’s something you want, there can be challenges in adopting new behaviors because they are unfamiliar to your brain, and your brain loves certainty. Oftentimes your brain would prefer the devil you know over the devil you don’t know. Together we can recognize any resistance from your unconscious, and determine ways to make change easier and more attainable.
It is normal to feel like your body has betrayed you, and it can be difficult at first to befriend your body when you are in constant pain. It is very normal and common to struggle with this. We can work slowly to understand pain, and help you move to a place where you can begin to befriend your body, and view your pain as your body’s way of trying to protect you and keep you alive.
Together we can unlock the messages that your body is trying to communicate to you by turning chronic pain, and identify any sources of fear, anxiety, or unmet needs. This knowledge will aid us in understanding and overcoming resistance as it comes up.
3️⃣ Designing Your Transformation
Crafting a Personalized Plan for Change and Freedom.
Recognizing that it is possible for you to break free from chronic pain, we develop a plan for transformation, setting the stage for your journey.
We dive deep into what works for you, specifically, and craft a personalized plan that will allow you to heal and grow.
We will create your “pain prescription”, which might include a combination of elements such as pain education, evidence building, nervous system regulation, acknowledgement, changes in self-talk, self-care, support, movement, somatic work, and more.
Taking consistent, small actions becomes the vehicle for transformation, allowing you to change the impact of chronic pain on your life.
Each week, we learn and gain deeper insights into your personal needs and path to healing, and adjust the course of action as needed.
