From the outside, you look like you have it all together.
But behind the scenes, persistent pain + symptoms are quietly shaping more decisions than anyone sees.
You may still be working, showing up, making plans, taking care of everyone else, and looking like you’re handling it.
But underneath, there’s a constant calculation happening. How do I feel today? What can I handle? Could this make things worse?
Over time, persistent symptoms can start shaping what you eat, how you move, where you go, what you say yes to, and how much you trust your body from one day to the next.
When your body has felt unpredictable for long enough, planning around it can start to feel completely normal.
Can I eat this?
Will this make things worse?
What if I flare tomorrow?
Can I handle the trip?
Should I say yes?
1:1 Nervous System Coaching
A 3-MONTH PRIVATE COACHING PARTNERSHIP FOR WOMEN LIVING WITH PERSISTENT PAIN + PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS.
You’ve already spent enough time trying to find the right treatment, rule, protocol, or missing answer.
Inside this work, we focus on another part of the picture: the nervous system patterns that can build after years of symptoms, uncertainty, and trying to prevent the next flare.
We make symptoms make sense, work with the checking, bracing, monitoring, fear, and avoidance around them, and build your capacity to respond differently when your body feels unpredictable.
So you can feel more confident making plans, moving, eating, traveling, working, and living without every decision revolving around what your body might do next.
Your nervous system can learn a different response.
When persistent pain + symptoms have been unpredictable for a long time, your nervous system can get very good at watching for what might go wrong next. A sensation, a meal, movement, stress, travel, or even a good day can start to carry more weight than it used to.
Working with me is honest, gentle, and deeply practical. We look at the checking, bracing, monitoring, avoiding, and fear that can build around symptoms. Then we practice different responses in the real moments that matter, so those patterns do not keep running the show.
No pushing through. No pretending everything is fine. No overwhelming homework. Just small, body-led steps that help you build capacity for sensation and uncertainty, and feel more confident making plans, moving, eating, traveling, and living your life.
What’s Included Inside 1:1 Coaching
A flexible 3-month partnership where we work with your nervous system, your symptoms, and the parts of life they’ve started shaping.
Here's what you get:
Weekly 1:1 Coaching Sessions
Private 60-minute sessions where we make sense of what is happening around your symptoms, work with the patterns keeping your nervous system on alert, and build your capacity to respond differently when your body feels unpredictable.
PERSONALIZED NERVOUS SYSTEM + SOMATIC PRACTICES
Body-led practices chosen around your patterns and what your system needs. We may work with sensation, attention, movement, orienting, breath, imagery, and other somatic tools to help you build capacity without turning healing into another full-time job.
Between-Session text and Email Support
You do not have to wait until our next call when a flare, fear spiral, or hard moment comes up. You can reach out for support, help making sense of what is happening, and guidance on what to practice in the moment.
REAL-LIFE PRACTICE + INTEGRATION
This work needs to hold up outside a coaching call. We bring what you are learning into meals, movement, plans, travel, work, relationships, and the everyday moments when symptoms usually start making the decisions.
FOOD WITHOUT THE CONSTANT SECOND-GUESSING
For when meals have become another thing to track, restrict, worry about, or blame every time your symptoms change.
MOVEMENT WITHOUT FEARING THE AFTERMATH
For when exercise, walking, errands, or doing more than usual comes with the question, “Will I pay for this later?”
PLANS + TRAVEL WITHOUT ALL THE CALCULATING
For when saying yes means first figuring out how you might feel, what could go wrong, and whether your body will cooperate.
FLARE FEAR + BODY SCANNING
For when every new sensation gets your attention and even a good day comes with wondering how long it will last.
RELATIONSHIPS + BEING PRESENT
For when symptoms make it harder to relax, connect, be intimate, or stay in the moment because part of your attention is still on your symptoms.
TRUSTING YOUR BODY AGAIN
For when years of unpredictable symptoms have made it hard to make choices without first asking what your body might do.
Hi, I'm Laura
ICF CERTIFIED NERVOUS SYSTEM COACH for PERSISTENT PAIN + SYMPTOMS
For 23 years, persistent pain + symptoms shaped what I ate, how I moved, how I worked, the plans I made, and how much I trusted my body. Pelvic pain was part of my story, along with digestive issues, food sensitivities, back and hip pain, numbness, tinnitus, anxiety and other symptoms I spent years trying to understand.
I went through appointments, treatments, diets, supplements, procedures, and eventually multiple diagnoses. What changed was learning to understand the nervous system patterns that had developed around years of pain and unpredictability.
That experience now shapes how I work with my clients. We use nervous system education, somatic tools, and real-life practice to make symptoms feel more understandable, change the patterns around them, and build more capacity for the life you want to live.
So you can spend less time planning around what your body might do next and more time living your life.
The Symptom Repatterning Method
A nervous system-based approach for persistent pain + physical symptoms, designed to help you change the patterns around symptoms and get more of your life back.
01. MAKE SYMPTOMS MAKE SENSE
Persistent symptoms can feel frightening when they seem random or unpredictable. We help you understand how your nervous system, attention, stress, and protective responses can interact with what you feel in your body.
02. CHANGE THE PATTERN
When symptoms trigger checking, bracing, monitoring, avoiding, or immediately trying to fix what you feel, we work on changing those automatic responses so your nervous system has a chance to learn something different.
03. BUILD CAPACITY
Using nervous system education, somatic tools, and body-led practices, we help you build more capacity for sensation, uncertainty, and activation without every change in your body immediately escalating into fear or alarm.
04. LET LIFE GET BIGGER
As the patterns around symptoms begin to change, we bring the work into food, movement, plans, travel, work, relationships, and everyday life so your body can take up less space in every decision you make.
You’ve spent long enough planning your life around persistent pain + symptoms.
You’ve already done a lot to cope, adapt, and keep going. But coping is different from having your life back. You get to want meals you don’t second-guess, movement you don’t fear, plans you can say yes to, travel you can look forward to, and good days you can actually trust.
If you’re ready to work on the patterns that keep symptoms at the center of so many decisions, let’s talk about whether 1:1 coaching is the right next step for you.
