Pain Relief
If you’ve tried everything for your pain and nothing has truly helped, you’re not alone. Relief and Renewal Therapy Intensives are designed for caring, driven adults whose pain is deeply tied to stress, overwhelm, and emotional load.
We look beyond physical injury to help you understand the patterns keeping your pain stuck.
If you’re like many caring, driven adults I work with who live with chronic pain, some of these patterns may feel familiar:
You live with chronic or persistent pain that hasn’t fully responded to medical treatments, procedures, or "fix-it" plans.
You’re tired of being told it’s “all in your head”
You know your pain is real, and you want someone who understands the mind–body connection.
You’re constantly pushing through: staying strong, taking care of others, keeping it all together… while your body keeps sending louder and louder signals.
You feel anxious, on edge, or exhausted from trying to manage pain, work, family, and responsibilities all at once.
You worry that if you finally slow down, everything will fall apart … but your body is already telling you something needs to change.
If you read this and think, “Yes… that’s me,” I created this intensive plan with you in mind.

So many caring, driven adults live with chronic pain that no treatment, medication, or specialist has fully resolved. And when your body has been carrying stress, responsibility, and pressure for years, it starts to hold everything for you — even the things you’ve pushed aside just to keep going.
Pain becomes the language your body uses when it’s overwhelmed.
In our work together, you’ll begin to understand the deeper story behind your pain — not in a way that blames you or makes it “all in your head,” but in a way that finally brings clarity and makes everything make sense.
You’ll learn how to:

Calm your nervous system so your body can stop bracing and start softening
Release emotional patterns that keep pain activated or “stuck”
Understand what your pain is communicating so you can respond instead of react
Create more internal safety, which allows pain to quiet down
Build practices that bring relief during stressful moments or flare-ups
Navigate flare-ups with more clarity and confidence, so they feel less frightening and more manageable
Our sessions give you a place to slow down, breathe, feel supported, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been overwhelmed, ignored, or carrying too much.
This is gentle work.
This is deep work.
This is where relief begins.
Your mind and body will not have to do this alone anymore.
Your body has carried so much for so long and it deserves support that honors your whole experience.
As we walk this path together, you’ll have space to slow down, breathe, and move toward relief with
guidance and compassion.
The three paths below offer varying levels of depth and personalization so you can choose

Your healing is not about forcing change.
Your body has already carried enough pressure.
This work is about gently releasing what has felt heavy
and creating space for the qualities you want to grow.
Like a tree letting go of old leaves,
your body can soften the patterns that keep pain activated
and strengthen the ones that bring relief and steadiness.
These emotional loads often stay hidden, even from ourselves,
yet they shape how our bodies hold tension and react to stress.

This tree reflects the healing process we move through together.
It shows the natural rhythm of letting go, making space, and welcoming new growth.
Just as a tree releases what it no longer needs, your body can learn to loosen the emotional and physical tension it has held for too long.
Healing happens gently, with support and compassion, one small release at a time.
Tension that never fully settles
Worry about flare ups
Fear of slowing down
Guilt for needing rest
The exhaustion of always being strong for others
Pushing through the pain because "I have to keep going."
These patterns developed for a reason.
Your body was doing everything it could to help you cope.
Release what has been too heavy to carry alone
Calm the places inside that feel chaotic or overwhelmed
Respond to your body with compassion instead of frustration
Grow a sense of internal safety that helps pain settle
Create more space for ease, breath, and clarity
Listen to your body with compassion instead of pushing past your limits
As the emotional weight lightens, your system gradually shifts
from guarding and bracing to softening and healing.
Take a moment with this tree and consider a gentle invitation:
What might you be ready to let fall?
And what new growth feels possible for you now?

It is normal to have questions when you are thinking about making a change or trying something new. These answers may help you get a clearer sense of what to expect and what support can look like.
Many people are unsure where to begin, and that is completely understandable.
We can talk through your options during your FREE 15 minute consult call.
OR
If you choose to begin with your first STEP session, that time helps us understand what your body and nervous system need right now so we can decide together which path feels like the best fit.
Weekly therapy offers steady support.
Your intensive therapy sessions will provide you with deeper, more personal work. You will have clear structure and more support between sessions than traditional therapy provides.
The Pain Relief and Renewal Intensive Therapy paths are designed for people whose pain feels stuck and who want a focused, compassionate space to gently shift the stress patterns that keep pain activated.
Your pain is real, and your body and nervous system play a powerful role in how pain is held and processed.
This work does not replace medical care, and I do not provide medical treatment.
If you have questions or concerns about your physical health, it is always recommended that you consult your physician before beginning therapy.
This approach can complement, not substitute, the care you receive from your medical providers.
No.
You never have to talk about anything you are not ready for.
Some people find it helpful to share their history. Others prefer to focus on how stress and emotion show up in the present moment.
Both are welcome. We move at your pace.
This is extremely common, and completely okay.
You do not need to find the perfect words.
We will begin exactly where you are, using grounding tools and gentle practices that help us find a starting place together.
Flare ups can happen when your nervous system is shifting and trying something new.
You will never be expected to push through or be tough.
We will slow down, ground together, and use gentle practices to support your body so you feel safe again.
Every part of the process can be adapted to what your body needs in the moment.
No.
Relief and Renewal Therapy Intensives offer a level of personalization, flexibility, and depth that insurance does not cover.
Sessions are individualized to your specific needs and include supports that insurance restricts, such as:
-extended session times
-emotional and nervous system focused work
-individualized recordings and practices
-freedom from medical necessity requirements such as assigning you a diagnosis, determining how often you can meet, or deciding how long we can work together
Imagine....
Waking up with less tension and more energy
Moving through your day without bracing for the next flare
Saying yes to activities you’ve avoided because of pain
Feeling calmer and more grounded in your body
Returning to moments of joy you thought you had lost
Creating space to breathe, rest, and reconnect with yourself

As your nervous system softens and your pain shifts, life begins to open up.
You may find yourself laughing more, resting without guilt, saying yes to things you thought you had lost,
and feeling a sense of peace you have not felt in a long time.
The next step is an invitation to create the life your body and heart have been wanting for you.
A life where pain is not in charge of your choices, your joy, or your future.
