The Chronic Pain Breakup Method

How much does the program cost? Can I submit to insurance?

The Chronic Pain Breakup Method is an investment in your health and future quality of life. The program cost varies based on the level of support and guidance you need. During our Pain Care Call, we'll discuss which option is the best fit for your situation. Payment plans are available to make the program more accessible.

Most health plans do not cover services provided in this program. Depending on your plan & benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed or use a flexible health spending account. Services are covered under "Health Coaching" as I am a certified health coach. It would NOT be covered under Physical Therapy.

How is this different from physical therapy and other exercise programs?

Many physical therapy and generic exercise programs can feel like a one-size-fits-all approach. They often focus on strengthening muscles or improving flexibility, but don't address what's going on beneath the surface: overactive pain pathways and nerve sensitivity. This can lead to short-term relief but rarely results in lasting improvement in pain—and sometimes even makes pain worse, leaving you stuck in a frustrating cycle of one step forward, three steps back.

When your pain pathways are overactive, it doesn't mean you wouldn't benefit from exercises, stretches, core work, or alignment training. However, an overactive pain system can cause persistent muscle tension that no amount of stretching or releasing can permanently fix. It also inhibits activation of the smaller stabilizing muscles, so attempts to strengthen them often reinforce existing imbalances and may even aggravate your pain.

In this program, we start by repairing those overactive pain pathways and reducing nerve sensitivity. By doing this first, your body is better prepared to handle exercises without pain flaring up. Once your overall sensitivity decreases, we can address muscle imbalances, stiffness, and compensatory movement patterns more effectively. This way, you're not just doing exercises—you're doing the right exercises at the right time, tailored to your unique situation.

Plus, you’ll gain practical support around flare-up prevention, management, and pacing, something generic physical therapy programs miss entirely.

How is this different from other pain retraining programs?

Many pain retraining programs rely heavily on psychological techniques such as mindfulness, visualization, or cognitive-behavioral approaches. They often encourage reprocessing pain as a neutral sensation, exploring repressed emotions, or managing stress responses through meditation and vagus nerve stimulation. While these methods can be helpful, they often miss a critical element: directly addressing the physical and neurological components of pain.

In contrast, this program is rooted in the biological and physiological realities of chronic pain. We focus on strategies that specifically target nerve sensitivity, reduce programmed pain patterns, and retrain your brain to process sensory information accurately. This isn’t about just managing stress or reframing pain—it’s about changing the underlying pain pathways themselves

Plus, you’ll get clear, actionable steps tailored to your unique pain experience, ensuring you always know exactly what to do next.

How much time do I need to commit?

Most clients spend about 20 minutes per day on the program activities, plus one hour for the weekly group coaching call. The program is designed to integrate into your daily life, not overwhelm it. Many of the strategies can be incorporated into activities you're already doing.

Will this program work for my specific condition?

The Chronic Pain Breakup Method has helped women with nearly all types of complex and persistent pain including:

• CRPS
• Degenerative disc disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Stubborn back pain
• Arthritis
• Nerve pain/neuropathy
• Central sensitization
• Disc herniations
• Sciatica
• Small fiber neuropathy
• MS
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• EDS
• Carpal tunnel
• Post-surgical pain
• Joint replacements
• Facial Pain
• Neuralgias
• Migraines

If you've had pain for longer than 6 months and traditional treatments haven't helped, you likely have overactive pain pathways. This doesn't mean you just need to meditate and practice mindfulness. This doesn't mean physical issues don't contribute—it means we need to address both the structural problems and the overactive pain system that amplifies everything.

All strategies are fully customized to your specific pain location, intensity, and functional ability level.

The best way to determine if the program is right for you is to book a call so we can discuss your unique situation.

What happens after the 16-week program ends?

You'll have lifetime access to all program materials, so you can revisit the strategies anytime, but your access to the coaching calls, group, and support will end. You'll be invited to join our Alumni Community group on Facebook. If you ever need additional support or coaching beyond the 16 weeks, additional options are available.
