You’re not broken. You’re stuck.

Fact: 20% of the world's population suffers from chronic pain.

In cases of injury, pain can persist long after the visible healing is complete. In cases where the source of pain is less tangible, the pain just is.

If doctors have insisted your pain is all in your head, they’re wrong.

Regardless of its cause, pain is real, and it changes us.

I can help you stop giving your attention to the mindset which reinforces your physical pain. Together, we can teach your brain and nervous system new, safe, and painless paths to travel, so you can get on with life.

When I was desperate and thinking the pain of a debilitating back spasm would never end, I contacted Marla for help. With her calm and reassuring approach, she helped me tease apart what was going on in my life. Marla offered me an understanding of how pain becomes chronic, and how I could manage my acute pain and panic about the future. She helped me with practical behavioural techniques, and after a couple of weeks my spasms eased up. I now feel I have new tools to manage my self-care.
