Discover to Recover - Move From Pain to Potential

Shed the shackles of chronic pain.

Learn the skills needed to LIVE life, rather than just SURVIVE it.

In as little as 5 minutes a day this self-paced program will teach you the skills you need to live a life that is not dictated by pain.

Are you tired of:

· Feeling powerless

· Not being heard or valued

· Sitting for hours in uncomfortable chairs to see a specialist

· Driving to multiple appointments

· Missing work to get to appointments that are not scheduled at your convenience but at the convenience of the specialists

· Getting conflicting advice from many experts

· Not understanding what is going on with your body

· Being told "It's all in your head"

· Being told "There's nothing we can do, you'll just have to live with it."

· People assuming you're looking for attention because you don't have an official 'diagnosis'

· Being asked the same questions over and over again

· Filling out yet another pain scale questionnaire

· Needing to be your own advocate but not knowing how or where to start?

· Not being able to talk openly about what it's really like to live a life with pain

This program will educate and empower you to live your life with joy, not simply survive each day. Here’s what you’ll learn:

How to work WITH your pain rather than AGAINST it ("Make pain your ally, not your enemy")

To reduce fear by learning the how & why of pain

To gain function in your day to day through safe exploration of movement in a way that is curious & playful

To gain confidence about deciding when to choose which practices to manage your pain

Learn to use breath, mindfulness, awareness, gratitude, and self-compassion practices to change your physiology and rewire your brain

I've done the research and all the legwork for you

and put it together in an easy-to-use format.

I've listened to your stories, felt your pain and I am living it with you.

This program takes into consideration

everything that makes living with pain difficult

and is designed with YOU in mind.

The Discover to Recover(DTR) program includes:

52 guided practices
3 full length movement classes (30-60 mins) in a mix of styles (yoga, pilates & somatics)
18 prompted explorations (including PDF’s)

A short (2-10mins) movement practice will be unlocked daily and each Monday you will receive that week’s:

You have the option of doing each practice once, any day of the week. Or repeat the practices and explorations however often feels good to you. The program offers a suggested pace but YOU are in charge and can tailor it to your needs and abilities.

And the best part? This is my beta program which means this is the first time this has ever been offered. I am looking for 40 people living with pain who want to explore a proven, multi-faceted approach to pain care.

I will guide you through every step of the way with the goal of offering you the tools and the skills to ultimately trust your own instincts about what would be most helpful to you and when.

As a founder of this program, you are the first and only members who will have access to DTR at this introductory price.

MEET COLLEEN

After 23yrs of working with the human body it continues to surprise me! This is part of what continues to send me back to my books, to the research and to new courses to learn more and more about the incredible capacity of the human body.

The other aspect is that I have been living in pain myself since 2010

and want everyone out there to have access to the same tools and information that I have.

Beginning with an Exercise Science degree from Concordia university in 1996 I continued to explore many aspects of movement and along the way got certifications as an Athletic Therapist, a therapeutic Pilates and yoga teacher, Pain Care yoga and a Gentle Somatic yoga teacher.

Also interested in honing my palpation skills and learning how to help people with complex issues, I obtained my Osteopathy degree in 2005 from Le Collège d’Etudes Ostéopathiques de Montréal (CEO).

In the past ten years, I have pursued over 1500 hrs of continuing education credits in the fields of Osteopathy, Anatomy Trains, yoga, somatics, mindfulness and pain care.

A yearlong Professional Pain Care mentorship with Neil Pearson from Pain Care U was the icing on the cake for me! It was the perfect way to integrate the pain science I learned through the Neuro Orthopedic Institute of Australia (NOI) with what I knew about mindfulness, breath and movement.

A certificate in Acceptance and Comitment Therapy (ACT) for Chronic Pain with Joe Tatta and Pain Care Aware for yoga teachers through Pain Care U this year has rounded out my experience. The eclectic combination of methods and my lived experience as a person with chronic pain gives me a well-rounded & unique perspective and THAT is what the Discover to Recover program is based on. My husband likes to call me the MMA fighter of chronic pain and I think it's a good fit!!!

This program combines years of research, over 20 years of clinical practice & teaching movement,

and honours current pain neuroscience concepts.

There is nothing in this program I have not embodied to manage my own pain.

This approach has given me my life back

and I can't wait to guide you on **YOUR Discover to Recover journey**!!

Introductory offer for founding members only:

$99 CAD (taxes included)

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: 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:

· 2-30 mins a day for movement, breath, mindfulness and / or awareness whichever elements in this program speak to you on any given day.

· Once a week, incorporate a longer movement session. How long that means is different for everyone. Start where feels good and build up to eventually doing a 30-60 minute session.

NO! I will guide you though every step of the way regardless how much experience you do or do not already have.
