FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

“I've tried everything already…why is this different?”

This is different because the focus isn’t about trying to get rid of your pain. The focus is on deeply getting to know, understand, and make space for your pain. Sometimes doing this lessens it or alleviates it completely, sometimes it doesn’t. But you’ll be learning to be with your body no matter what happens. And when you use these tools, we make SO much more room for LIFE to happen, because we are clearing out the energy-sucking analyzing, questioning, fear & anxiety that go along with pain.

I’m terrified this will be yet another failed program.

First off, so so much compassion. I get this fear so deeply. I cannot tell you how much I invested in myself, and almost didn’t invest in the program that transformed my own life due to this same fear. The thing is, this is impossible to fail. How people experience the outcomes WILL vary, but if you’re willing to show up, you will get outcomes. Things will begin to shift. If you know you need support, accountability and lots of love, then the VIP program is the perfect option for you, as I’ll be there to hold your hand & gently guide you throughout the whole program.

Will this program get rid of all my pain?

Maybe? I don’t know. This is actually NOT the goal. Even if it does (and it very well might - my clients have an extremely high success rate of significant pain reduction/alleviation!), no one is going the rest of their life without feeling pain again. So more importantly, this program provides the tools and know-how if and when pain does show up! Not to mention, this program goes so far beyond just addressing physical pain.

Will all my problems magically be solved?

No. 

Ok…this one is sorta a joke. But also, I know you want to know the answer. Because you’re probably a perfectionist. And I am a recovering one, and really, this is what I wanted to know from any program I was interested in!

Life is always going to have problems. Obstacles. Unexpected moments. The harder we try to avoid them (and don’t get me wrong, sometimes we absolutely CAN & should avoid them), the more they catch us off guard and throw us for a loop when they do happen. And the smaller this also makes your world. Because avoiding discomfort is possible only when we avoid challenges, trying new things, meeting new people, and just….living.

Your problems won’t magically be solved. Shit will happen. But it will no longer derail you for days (or weeks...or years). And even if it does, you’ll be able to catch it, and know what your next best step is. And really, hell, when you can do this, this basically does solve your problems, so through this lens, this course is basically cruelty-free, ethically-sourced magical unicorn powder, you’re welcome.

I have some serious trauma - is this right for me?

First and foremost, an online course is NEVER a substitute for individualized care, however, my clients have found it *amplifies* any 1:1 they are doing or have done in the past. If you know that you have “big T” Trauma, especially if you have never explored it with a practitioner, I absolutely recommend the VIP option, or even working with me as a 1:1 client. I am a trauma-informed practitioner, and if you’re having any concerns, sign up for a consultation, and let's chat to make sure this IS the right fit for you. My goal is to help women - and if I don’t think I can do that, I will make a much more informed and personalized recommendation after learning more about your story.  

If you’ve worked closely with a therapist before, but things are still unresolved, this course is very likely an amazing option. And let’s chat more if you have any hesitations about your specific case!

Will you take me through actual exercises?

This is NOT a movement oriented program. While we absolutely will have “exercises”, most are mindfulness/somatic based exercises, so while they may include movement, movement isn’t required to do them. There are some exercises that DO involve movement - but not in the traditional “exercise” sense. The skills we go over in this program will prepare you to go on to do whatever movement you desire (and you absolutely can continue whatever movement or exercise you are currently doing) - especially if you’ve found fear, anxiety and/or perfectionism tend to stop you from being active in the way you desire. I will be helping you integrate what you learn here to any movement program you decide to begin either during the program, or anytime in the future!

But if I’m not trying to get rid of my pain, does that mean I’ll be stuck with it the rest of my life?

Let me first ask you this. Pause. Reflect. How much time, money & effort have you spent trying to fix it so far? If you’re still reading, it means that you still don’t have the result you want. Fighting it, and trying to fix it unfortunately hasn’t worked. If it was going to work, it would have already - because I KNOW you’ve been trying.

For some people, yes, their pain may stick around to some degree. So the option is between spending even more time, money & effort (that will likely yield the same results you’ve already gotten) OR shifting your relationship with your pain, and learning to live a life you love…with your pain.

For others, this absolutely will actually will lessen or alleviate the pain they are signing up for this program for.  

The other common outcome is due to the tools learned in the program, and the different way we approach pain, it can actually even mean that things you did try before, but didn’t work - may actually work in the future. That muscle that your physical therapist kept having to release, for example? This program might address why it kept tensing up - so next time they release it, it is finally ready to stay chill.

Is there a start/stop date? What is the time commitment?

Nope. You can join at anytime.

For the time commitment - it depends. The calls will be 1 hour every week. The materials are more DIY pace. I'd plan on setting aside 15-30 minutes 3-5x/week to start seeing massive shifts. But it is absolutely ok to start with less! And much of this work will be taught in a way that once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to integrate it into daily life as well.

Sounds good, but I'm just not sure I'm ready to commit...

First off, I GET it. When you've been in chronic pain for years it can be tough to commit to yet another thing. Which is why I also offer a much more 'bite-sized' option. Check it out HERE.

This all sounds good...but I still have questions!

Of course! The best way to get these answered is to sign up for a consultation call with me! CLICK HERE to schedule!
