Begins January 2024

Are you exhausted from endlessly seeking answers to your chronic pain? Has pain become a dominating force, dictating your life, and clouding your sense of well-being? 

We understand the relentless pursuit of solutions, as well as the fear and worry that accompanies chronic pain. But it's time for a change.

In this 6-week programme, you are invited to be part of an intimate group of women who are ready to take a very different approach in their relationship with their pain.

This course draws from the cutting-edge field of pain science, women's health, neuroscience, psychology and mindfulness. We take a holistic, mind-body, and relational approach that will equip you with the tools you need to transform your experience of pain for the better.

The antidote to pain isn't accumulating more remedies; it's transforming your relationship with it. In this nurturing group, we'll guide you on a journey of learning and discovery together, in a nourishing and supportive space.

Our Holistic Approach

A mind-body method for women

  • Pain science

    Drawing from the emerging field of pain science and neuroscience, you will learn how the brain creates pain signals, the role of pain, and what steps you can take to reduce the pain messages your brain is making. Here we learn the practical tools to 'unlearn' pain.

  • Women's health

    In this course we work at the intersection of pain science and the nervous system, and what that means for women. We work at the intersection of hormones and the nervous system. We understand the role our hormones play in our pain, our health, and wellbeing.

  • Psychology

    Our wellbeing is rooted in our relationship with ourselves and with the world around us. Drawing on important teachings in psychology, we apply these to pain, our emotional selves, and what it means to be a woman in the world. We employ the practices of mindfulness and self-compassion.

This course is for

All women, and people who have been socialised as women or girls who experience:

  • Period pain or menstrual suffering

  • PMDD

  • PMS

What to expect

Education: 

In this programme there will be a focus on something called "knowledge medicine." This is where we learn information that we might not have known before as a way to understand our pain, our body, and ourselves better. Most of this knowledge medicine will be rooted in neuroscience and pain science, as well as women's health and psychology. This information will be delivered live in a lecture format during the calls.


Process work and coaching: 

There is a big difference between knowing information and embodying it, or integrating it into our lives. Therefore, in this course you can also expect to engage in"process work" and receive coaching from Lisa. This means that we are reflecting on our stories, our emotions, our patterns, and getting skilled support etc. This process work will take place in the live calls as well as some simple homework in the form of reflection exercises, journaling, and somatic practices.


Requirements:

As we will be reflecting on emotions and our pain stories, this course may be cathartic at times. You are invited to take the work at your own pace. It is therefore required that you feel adequately supported in your life outside of this course so that you feel emotionally safe in your vulnerability. Examples of supports are friends or family you can speak to, medical or mental health professionals you can turn to, and self-care.


Role of this course:

For clarity, it is important to remember that this course and Lisa's work is not a replacement for any medical care or psychological intervention. The purpose of this course is to educate you on aspects of pain that you may not have learned about before, and to support you in your relationship with yourself and pain on your self-care journey.


Medical reminder:

Many people who are drawn to this work suffer with unexplained pain. We see you and you are welcome here. We would like to advise everyone to always ensure that any serious medical diagnosis has been ruled out. If you do have a medical diagnosis of some sort e.g. endometriosis, an old injury, or an autoimmune condition, you are still welcome here to explore how mindbody practices can support you on your journey further.

Testimonials of Lisa's work

"I cannot thank you enough for such an amazing course. I am on day 2 and with a lot less pain than other cycles. I even saw an improvement in pain last cycle. I’ve really struggled with diet and exercise for a long time. Really seeing the benefit of knowing all of this extra knowledge and implementing ways to better look after myself, as well as how to deal with those difficult cycle days/ moments, so thank you."

~ Kim, Luxembourg



"When I first approached Lisa, I was feeling very disconnected from my body and my menstrual cycle. I have endometriosis, so I felt my connections to my body had become very clinical. Lisa supported me through some medically difficult months and helped me to reconnect to myself.

She enabled me to explore relationships, both with myself and others, and understand the impact they can have. She helped me to understand my nervous system, and gave me tools which I will keep in my back pocket: helpful herbs, movements, reframing, having curiosity, recommendations for other therapies I might want to try."

~ Jessica, UK



"Lisa was incredible! I came to this work, not knowing exactly what to expect, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I learnt so much about myself and women in general, that I had never really though about before. Would recommend this to everyone!"

~ Josephine, Belgium



"Lisa is a fantastic facilitator who is so passionate and knowledgeable about all that she shares. The course I attended was informative, compassionate, open and inviting. I received great insight and clarity to my own menstrual awareness and journey that has shifted something significantly for me in my connection to my cycle. I have taken many golden nuggets and important guidance to share with others in my own line of work. I would highly recommend working with Lisa if you can."

~ Melanie, Ireland



"Lisa has a really lovely, calming presence and an ability to quietly hold space for honesty, unravelling and healing that is unusual in the wellness space, but so necessary."

~ Niamh, Ireland
