"You Don’t Have to Live Like This…”
If pain has taken over your sleep, your energy, or your joy, you’re not weak and you’re not broken. Chronic and persistent pain can train the nervous system to stay on high alert. I help calm that system and retrain how your brain responds to pain, so relief and resilience become possible again. There is another path.
Chronic pain doesn’t just affect your body.
-
Exhausted from trying everything.
-
Tired of being told your tests are “normal.”
-
Managing flare-ups that seem unpredictable.
-
Sleeping lightly because your body won’t fully relax.
-
Wondering if this is just how life will be now.
-
Putting on a brave face while hurting inside.
"Chronic pain​ doesn't just affect your body. It touches your mood your focus, your relationships, your hope. And it can feel incredibly lonely."
If You’re Here, You Might Be…
HOW I HELP
Chronic pain isn’t just about tissue or injury. Over time, the nervous system can become sensitized like a smoke alarm that goes off too easily.
My work focuses on calming that alarm. Using focused hypnosis and nervous system regulation, we:
​
​​
​​
-
Create a sense of safety in the body
-
Reduce the stress response that amplifies pain how the brain interprets pain signals
-
Build resilience so flare-ups become less overwhelming
-
You stay aware. You stay in control.
-
We simply help your system learn a new response.
​
"Relief doesn’t come from fighting your body. It comes from helping it feel safe again."
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
We Start With a Real Conversation
No scripts. No pressure. We talk about your pain history, what you’ve tried, what makes it worse, and what you want your life to feel like again. This is where I listen deeply.
We Build Resilience
You’ll learn tools you can use between sessions simple ways to settle flare-ups, improve sleep, and regain confidence in your body. The goal isn’t dependence. It’s empowerment.
We Start With a Real Conversation
We Calm the System
In our sessions, I guide you into a focused, relaxed state where your nervous system can soften. You’re aware. You’re in control. This is where we begin retraining your brain’s response to pain.
"Mindset is Everything!"
This process is collaborative. You are not being “done to.” You are learning how to work with your own system in a new way.

Real Stories. Real Shifts.
People come to me discouraged, skeptical, and tired. Here are a few of their experiences.
Hear It in Their Own Words
Acute and chronic pain are not the same and results vary but this story illustrates how powerfully the brain and nervous system influence pain perception.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
This work may be a good fit if:
-
You’ve been living with persistent or recurring pain.
-
Stress makes your symptoms worse.
-
You’re open to the mind-body connection.
-
You want structured support not just another quick fix.
-
You’re ready to participate in your own healing.
This work complements medical care. It does not replace it.
If you’re unsure, a short conversation can help you decide.
You Deserve Support
Living with pain can be exhausting physically and emotionally.
Relief doesn’t always happen overnight. But when your nervous system begins to feel safe again, change becomes possible.
If you’re ready to explore a different approach one that works with your body instead of fighting it - I’m here.
