Chronic pain often stems from a misfiring pain control system in the brain. Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a science-backed approach, targets this root cause by retraining neural pathways. Unlike acute pain, where the system effectively protects us, persistent pain can arise when this circuitry gets stuck, becomes overly sensitive, or triggers other symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues or migraines.
PRT effectively resets this system, restoring normal pain processing and helping you return to the activities you love.
Here are some conditions that may improve with Pain Reprocessing Therapy — this is not a complete list, so feel free to reach out for more details.
One-on-one coaching tailored to your recovery journey.
Tools to support and reinforce your progress between sessions.
Guidance and strategies to help you reclaim the activities you love.
Every recovery journey is different. Symptoms often reduce within 2-3 months.
By retraining the brain, most clients experience significant improvement — many becoming completely symptom-free.
A randomized Clinical Trial at the University of Boulder tested PRT for chronic low back pain, examining its effects on pain levels and the brain. Participants, suffering for an average of 10 years, underwent fMRI scans. Compared to usual care or a placebo, PRT significantly reduced or eliminated chronic pain and altered pain processing in the brain. After just eight sessions in one month, the results were remarkable:
My own long journey with chronic pain led me to this work. For forty years, pain was a frequent part of my life. I know the frustration, the limitations, and the worry it brings. Like you, I tried everything, but it was Pain Reprocessing Therapy that finally provided the solution I’d been looking for. I followed the same process that I now teach, and transformed my life.
As a Scientist, certified Health and Wellness Coach, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner, I bring passion and dedication to my work with each client, offering a highly personalized approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain.
Today, I know the joy of having cured my chronic pain. I know the pleasure of getting my life back and doing the things I love without fear.
I’m deeply committed to helping you do the same.
After 4 weeks of PRT, 66% of people who underwent the therapy reported being pain-free or nearly pain-free. PRT teaches people to perceive pain signals sent to the brain as less threatening. Therapists help participants do painful movements while helping them re-evaluate the sensations they experience. The treatment also includes training in managing emotions that may make pain feel worse.
“After an injury, brain circuits can become hypersensitive to prevent you from getting hurt again. That’s helpful while you’re recovering but once the injury is healed, chronic pain can persist because the brain is sending out false alarms, presuming danger when there is none”

Chronic pain is biochemical, but it’s also psychological, and treatment needs to address how we think and feel about it.
