Experience is crucial in any type of coaching. One can not guide others if one has not traveled the path themselves. My own chronic pain has shaped me into the person I am today. Pain has affected my life in horrible ways, but has also helped me to grow physically, mentally and emotionally. More than anything, my struggles have given me purpose and motivation in life. I know that I am here for a definite reason and that purpose is to help others who are afflicted by chronic pain.
I have been involved in pain research, as well as patient education and advocacy for over 25 years. I have published 12 books and literally thousands of articles on the subject. I have graciously been named a pain scholar in the media. My name is synonymous with back pain, autoimmune concerns, mindbody disorders and general chronic pain.
