What I do
Pain reprocessing therapy
Hi, I’m Valentina, your coach on the journey to full recovery from chronic pain.
For years, I struggled with chronic hormonal and stress-related migraines, battled persistent back pain, and was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But I found a way through. As a coach and registered yoga teacher, I now help others break free from chronic pain using Pain Reprocessing Therapy—an evidence-based approach rooted in neuroscience. This isn’t about managing pain; it’s about full recovery. Together, we’ll retrain your brain and unlock a life beyond pain. Let’s begin this journey to healing.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy How does it work.
Understand the Nature of Chronic Pain
Pain reprocessing therapy reveals that chronic pain is largely a brain-based phenomenon rather than a direct result of tissue injury. It demonstrates that pain is a learned response, shaped by neuroplastic changes and heightened sensitivity in neural pathways. Recognizing this transforms the way you experience pain, shifting the focus from damaged tissues to maladaptive brain patterns. This understanding not only demystifies chronic pain but also empowers you with the knowledge that you can change how pain is processed, setting the stage for a transformative healing journey.
Cognitive and Emotional Reconditioning
Pain reprocessing therapy emphasizes the importance of cognitive and emotional reconditioning to alleviate chronic pain. By challenging and reframing negative thoughts and emotions, you begin to break the cycle that reinforces pain. This process involves recognizing and altering the mental patterns that amplify pain signals, thereby reducing anxiety and stress. As you learn to reinterpret your body’s signals, you gain greater control over your emotional responses. This reconditioning of the mind forms a crucial step in diminishing chronic pain and creating a more balanced and healthier experience of daily life.
Harnessing Neuroplasticity for Healing
Central to pain reprocessing therapy is harnessing the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity—the ability to rewire itself in response to new experiences. This approach leverages modern neuroscience to help you form healthier neural pathways that diminish chronic pain signals. By engaging in targeted practices, you actively encourage your brain to adapt and create a new blueprint for processing pain. This focus on neuroplasticity not only reduces the intensity of pain but also fosters long-term resilience, empowering you to take control of your healing process.
Restoring Movement and Resilience
Restoring movement and functional resilience is a vital pillar of pain reprocessing therapy that supports the brain’s relearning process. Gradual, intentional movement helps to rebuild confidence in your body while diminishing the fear associated with pain. This approach encourages safe, deliberate activity designed to reintroduce physical function without triggering chronic pain responses. As you progressively reconnect with your body, you experience improved mobility and strength, fostering a greater sense of empowerment and supporting an active, balanced lifestyle.
