Karen came to us having suffered chronic pain in her face for more than a year. Information from an MRI led to a diagnosis of an irreversible nerve condition that could only be treated by medication. In spite of the medications, Karen continued to experience pain in her face. In addition to the pain, Karen experienced constant anxiety around having the pain, chronic fatigue, anger issues, frequent headaches, and periods of depression. She was unable to eat any foods that required chewing, such as salads, nuts, even one of her favorites - Nachos. It not only hurt to chew, it also hurt to talk. In addition, she constantly clenched her jaw at night. For the previous year, Karen had been taking three medications and supplementing with Motrin and Tylenol for her pain.

Eight weeks into our 4-month Stress Less And Thrive Intensive, Karen reported, "All of my pain is gone and I have been off all medications for over a month. My level of energy has increased, and my anger, depression and pattern of negative thoughts have greatly diminished. I can now eat crunchy foods again, as well as talk without pain, and I've stopped clenching my jaw."

Through natural mind/body techniques we helped Karen modify her limiting beliefs about what was possible, shift her pattern of troublesome thoughts and emotions, and alter how events of the past were negatively influencing her present. While there is still work to be done, Karen now has the knowledge and tools she needs to continue her healing journey naturally and from within."
