The Path
I’m so glad you’re ready to get started in taking the first, and next step to getting back to living your life: the life that you want to be living and the life that brings you joy.
As a Chronic Pain Coach, and I specialize in helping people with chronic pain take back their lives. I help people with chronic pain transform from being hopeless, frustrated, and angry to people who are able and excited to take on whatever life plans to throw at them!
Through my years in the clinic, and extensive pain specialty training, I’ve seen the unique challenges that people with chornic pain struggle with, and have seen their frustrations and futility while trying to navigate the mainstream healthcare system. I realized that people with chronic pain have different needs to be truly successful in getting back to their pain free life. Not only did they need the exercise and movement based therapy I provided as a Physical Therapist, but they also need help understanding their pain, optimizing their mindset, and better ways to change their lives to live to their fullest potential. That’s why I created the path. It’s a whole body, whole mind, and whole spirit way to address your chronic pain.
Are You Ready?
How long have you been suffering with chronic pain? Weeks, months, years, decades?
Have you been “collecting” diagnoses such as:
Fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Arthritis
Degenerative disc disease
Anxiety, depression, PTSD…
And have NO IDEA what to do with all of these labels? Do you feel like these diagnoses are now ruling how you live your life vs you being able to live your life on your own terms?
Are you sick and tired of going to doctors, specialists, physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, reiki masters, etc; getting different reasons of why you’re in pain, but never a real coherent answer? You keep spending your time, money, and effort just to
Are you tired of doing 3 hours of body work, stretching, and breathing just to be able to get out of bed?
Are you ready to move on and finally live your life the way you want, the way you’ve always imagined?
The Path is a Whole Life Makeover.
The Path is not just another run of the mill treatment or program. It isn’t a method to just get you through the next week or the next few months until you need a repeat treatment. It isn’t medication with 10,000 side effects, many of which may make you feel more tired, increase your GI issues, or make you even moodier.
Together, we’ll get to the real causes of your chronic pain (yes, that’s plural!), and we’ll work through them, together. You’ll get the guidance, encouragement, tough love, and accountability you’ve always needed.
We’ll work on your mindset: Shedding your chronic pain identity, getting you to believe that you truly deserve to be pain free and happy, and finding your WHY. The reason that keeps you strong to get you through the bumps and twists and turns of recovery.
We’ll get address the aspects in your life that will benefit you the most in getting back to your life. We’ll work on sleep, nutrition, exercise, movement, goal setting, mindfulness, and even relationship building. Does this sound like a lot? It is, but don’t worry, we’ll work on it at your pace, in your time, and with tools and techniques that are uniquely tailored to you.
The Method: The Three E's Process
How does this work? I use the three E’s to help you down your path.
Education: Has anyone every actually talked to you about pain? Not what your disc is doing, or your muscle tightness, but actual Pain itself? Understanding what pain is, how pain works, and what that means for you is the foundation to getting yourself onto a pain free path. The unknown is scary, and knowledge is power.
Exploration: We will explore your pain together, as I know how scary it can be to do this on your own. We’ll explore the real triggers for your flare ups, but also explore what makes good days- good days. I’ll guide you through an exploration of your pain, your thoughts, feelings, and preconceptions about pain. You’ll get to know you again, but this time through a lens of kindness and curiosity.
Empowerment: It’s great to know about what pain is is, how pain works, how you respond to it, but what are you supposed to do with it? Throughout our Journey together, I will provide you with the tools to empower you to find your and your own unique path to a pain free life. As the old saying goes: “If you give a man a fish he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish you feed him for a lifetime.”
