What people say. . .

      

"Sooo good! This class is full of so much useful information about pain and strategies to help us both manage and alleviate our pain experience. The leaders are compassionate and caring and have a great deal to offer. So very worthwhile." - J.

Most practitioners are not addressing the TRUE ROOT CAUSES of Pain.
The truth is your brain and nervous system play a crucial role in healing.
When the nervous system is dysregulated and you feel pain and anxiety, a feedback loop starts that is difficult to stop, keeping you in a fight, flight, or freeze mode. This increases pain, inflammation, muscle tension, digestive issues, disrupts cognition, and the body can't calm down to heal.

  • ​

During our 5 weeks together you will:

​

  • Regulate your nervous system to calm down pain

  • Decrease sensitivity to pain

  • Feel safe in your body again

  • Decrease fear of pain and movement

  • Decrease anxiety and fear of it

  • Work through grief and sense of loss

  • Feel hope, self-compassion, and empowerment

  • Thrive in a community who cares​​

Deborah has over 20 years of experience as a licensed Occupational Therapist trained in mental health and physical disabilities. She is certified as an Holistic Health Practitioner, Trauma Professional, Reiki Master, and certified in Tara Brach's and Jack Kornfield's Meditation Program, The Power of Awareness. She has experience working with several populations with a wide variety of illnesses and injuries, such as: chronic pain, arthritis, head injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, anxiety, schizophrenia, cancer, etc.. Her work experiences span hospitals, clinics, home care,  designing and directing a program for people with mental illnesses, including developing and leading groups in meditation, coping skills, cognitive behavioral techniques, and expressive arts, and managing and expanding a hospice volunteer program with initiatives such as Reiki, Pet Therapy, and Music Therapy.

​

Through her experience of severe spinal cord injuries, 3 surgeries, 2-years bedridden, 5 years learning to walk again, and 20 years of chronic pain (and Long Covid) she became interested in holistic healing methods. She learned the importance of whole body healing in her recovery from chronic pain.

Currently, Deborah has her own practice, Holistic Healing with Deborah, often interweaving gentle bodywork of Craniosacral Therapy, Somato-Emotional Release, energy healing, Somatic Therapy, meditation/guided imagery, spiritual coaching, and traditional OT, as well as teaching techniques to transform and release physical and emotional trauma held in the body, reconnect to one's authentic self, and feel a sense of hope, empowerment, and well-being.   

​

Deborah loves anything outdoors, writing, photography, and spending time with her husband, 12-year old-daughter, and little dog, Daisy.

​

Learn somatic techniques, mindfulness tools, and more from teachers that personally know about pain, with years of experience working with others in pain.
