About Me
I’m Jan, a certified Health and Wellness Coach specializing in chronic pain recovery. With over 15 years in academic research and pharmaceutical companies, I’ve been deeply moved by the mind’s power to heal, evidenced by numerous clinical trials and scientific studies. This inspired me to focus on the mind-body connection, particularly in chronic pain, leading to certifications in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Freedom from Chronic Pain Practitioner training, and somatic healing techniques.
Through compassionate and scientifically-backed practices, I guide clients towards a life with less pain and more joy, empowering them to take control of their health and well-being with tailored support and actionable strategies for lasting pain relief.
Having personally overcome chronic health issues for over two decades, I understand the recovery journey’s challenges. This personal experience drives my passion for guiding others toward wellness.
Mission
My mission is to empower clients to take the reins in their own healing journey, helping them tap into their inner capacity to heal.
Coaching Style
My coaching style is caring, supportive, and empathetic. I collaborate with clients to implement personalized tools and behavioral change steps tailored to each individual’s needs and style. Pain and other chronic symptoms are often the body’s way of signaling that something needs attention, and they can also be powerful teachers. My role is to shine a light and ask deep questions to help clients understand the valuable lessons their pain is trying to communicate to them, and to show their brain that safety and healing are within reach. My ultimate goal is to guide clients towards reclaiming their sense of safety, freedom, and joy, so that they can live more fulfilling lives
Approach
Chronic pain is very complex, has different causes, and is experienced differently by everyone. My approach is grounded in unique assessment of each individual, thorough evaluation of both physical and psychosocial factors, and a commitment to evidence-based practices driven by scientific inquiry. My goal is to work with you to create a customized approach to help you overcome your pain. It would be an honor to accompany you on your journey of transformation and liberation from chronic pain.
I focus on reducing fear around pain and understanding its underlying causes. Through compassionate and scientifically-backed practices, I guide my clients towards a life with less pain and more joy. My goal is to empower people to take control of their health and well-being, offering tailored support and actionable strategies for lasting pain relief.
