Transform Your Pain Journey with Expert Guidance.

We use a variety of tools ranging from physical movements, exercise, mindfulness based tools, somatic tracking, embodiment and somatics exercises, dietary recommendations, sleep strategies, emotional awareness practices, and relationship health guidance. We are not dogmatic about a single approach and draw on a wide range of practices to ensure your treatment is tailored to your needs.

This will depend on the extent of the surgery, the reason for it, and the time since surgery. If you are in the acute recovery phase of a surgery (e.g. under 6 weeks) then it is worth waiting until at least 12 weeks before engaging in our services as your body needs time to adequately heal and for you to regain function. We will consider your surgical history in our assessment, as this could be very relevant to your current pain issue.

Firstly, it is important that you are under the care of a rheumatologist and have proper medical management of your condition. If that is the case, then it is worth exploring a holistic pain plan as we have seen improvements in a range of clients with various autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, Crohn's disease, and more. This is supported by literature showing psychological tools, dietary changes, and exercise, show positive results for those with autoimmune conditions.

Pain and arthritic changes is a complex interaction. Some people have severe degenerative changes in their joints and minimal or no pain, and others with slight degenerative change have lots of pain. It is not a direct correlation. Unless you have severe osteoarthritis, there is often much room for improvement with conservative strategies including exercises, as well as a range of psychological strategies to reduce our protective pain responses.

We believe that 12 weeks is the right amount of time to see results should you be on a path using the right strategies. We work in 12 week blocks where we develop clear goals with you and a plan to achieve those. You can decide based on your needs the appointment frequency ranging from 3 sessions (one session every 4 weeks) all the way to 12 sessions (one session per week). This ranges from more self directed to more supportive. The more intensive the input, the more likely you are to get the results you are after and stick on a progressive plan.

We will be available to problem solve with you and change course if you are not seeing results. Depending on your pain history, changes can take time, which is why we usually look at a minimum timeframe of 12 weeks to see significant change. Should there be no change in your symptoms, despite continued effort with the suggested plan, you can choose to continue working with us or get a full refund of your treatment costs up until that point.

We do not expect to be your sole treatment provider, and support people continuing to see their GP for safety purposes. We do not diagnose pain conditions or refer for medical imaging given the context of an online service. We can however provide information and guidance on a variety of health conditions given our clinical experience.

At this time we do not accept payments through insurance providers. We provide direct services to clients no matter what their medical insurance claim status.

Generally 6-12 weeks is a good period of time to see some sort of response to your plan. This varies depending on your clinical history, pain severity, and ability to take action with the suggested strategies. We will cover personalized expectations in your plan during our initial sessions.

This depends on your time availability. Many strategies we regularly use are between 5-10 minutes which is the minimum amount of time you will need to make available each day to work on your plan. This will be discussed in our free 45 min strategy session.
