Your Journey Begins Here
“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.” — John O’Donohue
Do you suffer from chronic pain, chronic fatigue, or other chronic symptoms? Ready to rewrite your health story? You've come to the right place.
Are you tired of fighting your body as you try to get your health back? Are you open to the mind-body approach to recovering from these symptoms but not sure where to start or don’t want to navigate your journey alone? I recovered from over two decades of chronic chronic pain and I can help you learn how to heal too. There truly is hope when you learn how stress in your life, difficulties from the past or even self pressure and preoccupation can actually be making your symptoms worse.
Find hope and possibility for a life beyond chronic symptoms. Learn how to befriend your body and tap into your own healing power through pain recovery coaching.
If you’ve been experiencing pain or other chronic symptoms for an extended period of time and you haven’t found relief despite your best efforts, there is still hope!
Pain and chronic symptoms like nausea and fatigue are a danger signal created by the brain to alert us to a perceived threat. This signal can sometimes be habituated to fire long after the original threat has passed which is often the cause of chronic symptoms when all structural causes have been ruled out.
The good news is that since the pain/symptom response is a habit, we can retrain our brains to get into a more supportive replacement habit and lower the false perception of threat.
You are not broken. Your brain is simply responding to a threat that isn’t actually dangerous and it can learn how to reinterpret that signal.
The ability to re-pattern a well worn pain/neural pathway in the brain is within you. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Knowledge, Empowerment, Agency, Action, and Trust are key to shifting these old habits. Together we can take these important next steps in your recovery journey.

Testimonials
“I have been working with Katie for about 4 months now. She has been amazing and has offered information and videos specifically geared towards me and my healing. I have been in pain for about 12 years solid, every single day. In the past four months since I started with Katie, my pain has been reduced significantly, and I am starting to have days with no pain at all. When the pain starts, I now know how to handle the pain and how to calm my nervous system so that I can deal with it better. I would recommend coaching with Katie to anyone who is suffering with chronic pain.”-Debbie C“When I first started working with you I was close to rock bottom in my pain and overall well being. I had spent years trying so many different ways to be better. I tried every type of doctor, medication and intervention available with little relief. My work with you has put me on a path of healing. My pain is nowhere near where it was which has impacted every part of my life and health.
“I am in less pain and have days of no pain, I’m not in fear of exercising and am doing it more, I’m way more in tune with my emotions than ever before and want to emphases how excited and amazing that is to be able to even tap into my feelings and process them in a better way.”
-Jillian B
“I was in a place where I wanted to see change, but didn’t know how to start. My life was chaotic and I felt too busy to focus on myself, so I just continued to put my health on the back burner. As a result, I had no energy, my back always hurt, and my mood and mindset were both incredibly poor and self-deprecating. I felt overwhelmed and stuck in a spiral of a thousand “To Do” lists, but taking care of myself was not on any of them! “Katie really helped me feel unstuck. She guided me with insightful questions about how and why my priorities were where they were. She helped me clarify what was important and really focus attention on the necessary parts of life, while leaving the rest behind. Katie was the coach I didn’t know I needed and I am forever grateful for her help and guidance.” -Kate C
