​

How do I know if my symptoms are neuroplastic?

There are some medical doctors who are trained to diagnose neuroplastic pain. However, if 1) you have already visited a medical practitioner and ruled out serious conditions that require urgent intervention, and 2) you have already tried various

treatments without success, it is generally safe to try a neural circuit approach.

 

I offer a 60-min comprehensive assessment after you have had an introductory call. Until then, here are a couple resources to help you explore whether your symptoms may be neuroplastic:

• Take a short self-assessment quiz created by Dr. David Clarke, president of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association

• Listen to this podcast episode with Alan Gordon and Dr. Howard Schubiner on how to diagnose your own pain

​

How do I get started?

Schedule a free 20 min introductory call with me! We'll share context, talk about the basics of how brain-generated symptoms work, and discuss my approach.

​

How will it take for me to heal?

Healing time varies for each person, but the standard recommendation in the field is to check in on progress after 8-12 sessions. I recommend that clients commit to two 1-month packages (8 sessions total). 

​

Where do we meet?

I meet with all clients virtually. 

​

How much does it cost?

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call to review your current symptoms and answer questions about coaching. Next I offer 1-month packages and encourage clients to commit to 2 months, with the option to continue beyond that on a session-to-session basis. My goal is to provide support to as many folks as possible, so I offer sliding scale pricing.

​

Do you take insurance? 

Unfortunately insurance does not cover coaching.  

​

What are your qualifications?

I have been certified as a Holistic Life Coach Practitioner and Chronic Pain Recovery Coach by the MindBody Food Institute. I have also received certification in Pain Reprocessing Therapy by the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center and am listed in their directory of practitioners.

​

I have had symptoms for many months or years, can this treatment still help me?

​

The amount of time you have been struggling with symptoms does not determine the amount of healing time. Participants in the Boulder Back Pain Study had on average 11 years of pain, and 66% were pain-free or nearly pain-free at the end of four weeks of intensive treatment. As long as you are open and committed to the process, it does not matter how long you have had symptoms.
