This program will coach you through a pain-informed approach to improving sleep through cognitive and behavioural interventions, addressing the root cause of most sleep issues. The primary focus of this program will be to improve sleep, but a secondary focus will be developing the ability to suffer less in the face of disturbed sleep.
Mindful communication (4-part series)
This is a didactic 4-part series using mindfulness practice to support increased self-awareness. Persistent pain is a misunderstood condition, often doubted and disbelieved, and as a result, people living with it can struggle to feel seen and understood. Learn practical communication tools and engage in process-based learning by discussion of challenging relational circumstances often faced by people living with persistent pain. Topics include non-violent communication (NVC), empathy, active listening, emotional intelligence, boundaries, compassion, navigating conflict, and more.

Anatomy of a healing journey (4-part series)
This is a 4-week series where we dive into exploring healing as a journey of coming into greater balance and homeostasis, reworking the narrative from curing to healing, and from improving symptoms to connecting to a meaningful path.

This class is great for patients who are looking for answers.
