5 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD TO KNOW ABOUT PAIN
​
Your pain is 100% REAL
​
Pain is CHANGEABLE no matter how long it's been there
No need for pain to be gone before ENJOYING life
You do not have to ‘just learn to live with it'
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.

I've kept up with the research and done the legwork
so you don't have to!
I've listened to your stories & I feel your pain.

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.
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?
There's no such thing as being 'in enough pain' to join. If you are a human with a body, you will experience pain at some point in your life. This program is good for those who want to know their body better, for those who live with any amount of pain and for those who want to be proactive and preventative. Manual therapists, psychologists, teachers and coaches have taken the program as a way to have more tools to work with their clients.
​
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.
​
​
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 6 online group community calls. These sessions are the place to ask your questions and to review concepts you learned in the program as a group.
​
When you join DARE TO HEAL you have access to the private Facebook community. Posting your questions there is a good way for the whole community to weigh in and benefit. It's a very kind and supportive group.
​
If you would like one-on-one time together, you can book an appointment to see me in the clinic or online at an additional cost. Details will be outlined in the program.
​​
Q: What is the investment, again?
Sign up with one payment of $425 CAD or pay over 3 monthly instalments (tax included). For the cost of 3 Osteopathy sessions you will benefit from having an Osteopath at your finger tips, from the comfort of your home every day.
​
​Q: Will there be recordings of the live sessions?
YES! A replay of each live community call will end up in your library. So if you miss a live session, it's no problem!
​
Q: Will I have access to the recordings for life?
You will have access to view the DARE to Heal for as long as the program exists. You'll be able to go back and revisit your library as often as you want.
​​
Q: Can I cancel and get a refund
12 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 12 week course.
