One of the things I love about my work is ongoing professional development in progressive modalities that serve people’s health and well-being in profound ways.
Over the years these courses of study and practice have included Somatic Re-Education/Orthobionomy, Bowen Bodywork, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Nutrition Response Testing, The BodyTalk System, and Heartfield Healing.
My most recent training has been in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) which is an evidence-based approach for treating chronic pain. Rooted in neuroscience, PRT focuses on rewiring neural pathways in the brain to unlearn the pain response.
As someone who has experienced decades of chronic pain, I am personally finding the tools of PRT to be remarkable and am excited about being able to share them with you.
While called Pain Reprocessing Therapy, a more accurate description might be sensory reprocessing therapy, as the tools guide you to a new relationships with sensations in your body. This makes what is learned applicable to many areas of your life bringing in new vitality.
The process is empowering and up lifting. In addition to incorporating the tools of PRT into my one-on-one work with clients, I am eager to share this information and tools widely so I am going to offer an online group beginning mid-April.
Here are the Details
- Thursdays 4:30 – 6pm pacific time
- April 14, 21, 28 and May 5, 12 & 19
- Cost for the full six weeks is $150 (20% off for unlimited class packages holders)
- We will meet on Zoom
Sessions will include education on relevant neuroscience, guidance through the tools, discussion/sharing, and “homework”.

Hi Laura. A good friend/colleague recently let me know of your upcoming Got Pain course. You mention PRT being evidence based. Would you provided resources to any studies that may have published as well as any recommended resources re its history and development. Also I was told there is a connection with Dr. John Sarno and his TMS approach. Is that accurate?
Hello! Yes, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) was studied as part of the Boulder Back Pain study and recently reported in JAMA Psychiatry https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2784694. You can find more information on PRT through their website https://www.painreprocessingtherapy.com. Regarding Dr. Sarno’s work, as I understand it, you could say that PRT is an evolution of TMS.
