If you attended the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM) annual conference in Florence, Italy, in June 2026, welcome!
As my oral presentation at the conference explained, I fully recovered from nearly 8 months of completely disabling, widespread pain. It has not come back, and I know it never will.
No matter what you have been taught in your clinical training, chronic pain is not a life sentence.
It can be healed.
In my presentation, I detailed how I did just that.

Request a Workshop or Presentation for Your Team
Because I understand chronic pain from both the research side and the side of the patient, I feel it is my duty and my privilege to meet with healthcare practitioners and explain
I encourage you to complete the request form (linked below) and let me know when and how you would like me to meet with your clinical teams to tell them about my experience and teach them how much healing power they truly have when they encounter people with chronic, functional, idiopathic, or otherwise "medically unexplained" pain.
Too many times, clinicians say the wrong things and actually harm their patients who have chronic pain.
The research also shows that although many different treatments may have temporary, small effects, only emotion-focused therapies bring about pain reduction or resolution that endures.
Given that, I walk clinicians through communication strategies to build healing relationships, which are the foundation of all emotion-focused therapies.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can be a nice coping strategy, but it can't heal pain unless emotions are targeted as part of the process. And emotions can't be targeted until a safe and trusting relationship has been established.
Let me help you and your team understand how to start helping people in pain, even within the constraining systems in which you must work.

- how they can better help their patients to recover, too.

Please note that although I understand German very well, and I speak and understand Italian at a very high level (B2-C1), my trainings take place in English.
