Hear how DARE changed Lisa's life
5 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD TO KNOW ABOUT PAIN
​
1. Your pain is 100% REAL
2. Pain is CHANGEABLE no matter how long it's been there
3. No need for pain to be gone before ENJOYING life
4. You do not have to ‘just learn to live with it'
5. Regardless of the cause of your pain, working with every part of who you are is essential ( you are more than just a physical body)
​
Regardless of what diagnosis you do or don’t have, there is always something that can be done. Pain can change.
​
The body has an amazing capacity to heal and it is never too late
to teach your system to turn down the protective mechanisms and stop producing pain.
​
​
Learn to work with your pain and get the tools needed to start changing it today.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Q: I’ve never done an online program, do I need special equipment?
Nothing special! Just a computer (or phone or ipad) and internet access.
Q: How much time will this program take?
You can work your way through this program in ANY way that feels good for you. If you prefer to have guidance and structure, my suggestion is to dedicate 2-15 minutes per day a few days / week. Start where feels good and build up to eventually adding a 30-60 minute session once / week.
Q: Do I need to have any previous experience with breath or mindfulness to benefit from this program?
NO! I will guide you though every step of the way regardless how much experience you do or do not already have. What IS required is an open mind and a willingness to learn, experiment and explore.
​
Q: How do I know if I'm in enough pain to join this program?
You don't have to be in any pain to benefit from this program. Let's face it, if you are a human being, you will have pain at some point in your life. This program was originally designed for those living with pain but the longer it runs, the more we see how beneficial it is as prevention.
​
It is much easier to learn new information and implement new habits when you are feeling fine. We should all have this knowledge and these tools so that if / when we get injured or face a chronic issue, we have all we need to deal with it.
​
​
Q: If I enjoy a particular lesson, can I access it more than once?
ABSOLUTELY! Once new content is unlocked each week you can continue to revisit that content as often as you like for hte duration of the 10 week program.
​
​
Q: Are you available for questions?
a) Before the program starts: You can DM me on Facebook and Instagram or you can email me.
​
b) Once the program starts:
There will be a LIVE online group coaching calls once every 2 weeks in D.A.R.E to Heal and once a month in the membership. These sessions start and end with a guided practice and are then opened up to questions and discussion.
D.A.R.E. also has a private Facebook community you'll have access to once you join. It's always nice to reach out there and see if the community has anything to add or share . It's a kind and supportive group.

The 10 week program is only $454 CAD (tax included).

The membership program is only $89 CAD (tax included) / month or $890 annually (membership can be cancelled at any time). NB: Two months FREE when you choose the annual option.

​

​
Q: Will I have access to the recordings for life?
You will have access to view the D.A.R.E. to Heal recordings for 10 weeks and the D.A.R.E to Live recordings for as long as you are a member of the program.
​
Q: Can I cancel and get a refund if the program is not for me?
10 weeks is a short amount of time when it comes to learning about pain. I want you to benefit from the experience of the full program, start to finish. There are no refunds for the 10 week course.
