During my senior year of college, I started having abdominal pain and digestive issues. This gradually got worse and worse until I was completely debilitated and housebound with pain in 2021. I then 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.

​

Ultimately, I stumbled upon the work of Dr. John Sarno, Alan Gordon, the PPDA, and others and started to slowly accept the idea that my pain was neuroplastic. It was a journey but once I got there I saw dramatic improvements in my pain, anxiety, and quality of life.

​

I now can eat anything I want, I travel without fear, and I only go to the doctor for my regular check-ups. The transformation has truly been incredible. But the more I learned about the science behind neuroplastic pain, the more I saw how I (and society as a whole) had underestimated the power of the mind-body connection to create real pain and other symptoms.

​

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. 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 a Certified Professional Life Coach and hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh.

 

I have also been a chronic pain sufferer myself for the better part of a decade and have experienced firsthand many of the pitfalls of recovery. I've also spent a lot of time delving into the research of chronic pain, initially to cure my own pain, but now to share with other to help them cure their pain too.
