One day in 2016, I felt like there was a knot in my stomach. My abdominal pain gradually got worse and worse until I was housebound with pain in 2021. I went on to develop TMJ, headaches, Fibromyalgia, and pelvic pain. There were times I had nearly given up hope and resigned to live a life in pain.

​

Finally, in the pit of my despair, I stumbled upon the work of Alan Gordon, the PPDA, and others and began to slowly accept the idea that my pain was neuroplastic. Once I started learning about how the brain can create pain and symptoms in the absence of anything physically wrong in the body, and applying the tools to change my brain, I saw dramatic improvements in my pain, anxiety, and quality of life.

​

I now have zero chronic pain. I can eat anything I want, I travel without fear, I only go to the doctor for my regular check-ups, and I am an active mom running after a toddler. The transformation has truly been incredible.

​

I always thought that if I could be cured of my pain, I would have to share it with others. So after getting my life back, I felt a calling to help other people find the way out of chronic pain. I wish I would have known what I know now 10 years ago and I could have saved myself a lot of time suffering and trying physical treatments that were never going to work. I hope that I can save you some time.

I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy by the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center and am listed in their directory of pain coaches. I am a also an ICF-certified Professional Life Coach and hold a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh.

 

Also being a former chronic pain sufferer for the better part of a decade, I have experienced firsthand many of the pitfalls of recovery. Retraining the brain to eliminate neuroplastic pain isn't an overnight process. But I'm here to tell you that you can do it and it is so worth it. I would be honored to support you along your journey.
