A self-paced nervous system & body based audio course for chronic pain.
YOUR NOT ALONE
Right now, roughly 60 million Americans, and over 1.5 billion people worldwide, are living with chronic pain.
If you're one of them, welcome. None of us asked to join this club, but here we are.
Maybe you've tried everything. Pushed through, rested, researched, prayed, hoped or given up hoping.
Maybe your body feels like something you're at war with, and you're tired.
Really tired of promises that things will work this time.
So let's be honest: this isn't a promise to cure you.
What it is, is a nervous system informed way of working with your pain.
Chronic pain keeps the body's alarm system stuck in overdrive, and this course helps you work with that alarm, not against it, so you can build more capacity, more ease, and start living and enjoying your life again, even with pain still present.
When we can get even just a little unstuck from the stress response that chronic pain often causes,
we create more ease in the body which can in turn, support our experience of physiological pain.
If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place.

Your Chronic Pain Guide
Katie Fleming Thomas, MS
Meditation Teacher &
Somatic Therapist
Hello and welcome! I'm a licensed therapist, certified mindfulness teacher, and somatic practitioner trained in Somatic Experiencing. I've worked with many people living with chronic pain and chronic illness.
I'm a member of the club also. A back injury left me with pain that I deal with almost every day. For a long time I tried to push through it and I found myself in a dark spiral which left me even more depleted.
What actually helped was learning to work with my body and my nervous system instead of against them and I can still live a good life and my experience of pain is different. That journey is what led me to Somatic Experiencing, and eventually to creating this course.
Your pain may look different than mine. But pain is still pain. Let's learn how to live a good life even with it.
