As a registered nurse, I thought I knew a lot about how to
manage pain, turns out, the non-pharmaceutical pain manage-ment
techniques I was using were just the tip of the ice berg. I now
have a better understanding of my pain. Becky provided
instruction on a variety of concepts and techniques which were
individualized to my unique situation. She helped me uncover
pain triggers that I was unaware of for more than twenty years.
She encouraged me as I made goals and lifestyle changes. Through
daily pain prevention strategies, I have been able to
successfully control my pain. With her support and the skills
and knowledge I have gained, I have substantially decreased my
need for pain medication. Pain no longer defines me.
Thank you coach,

It has been a blessing for me to work with Becky. Having all the
resources available and coordinated with one person, being able
to review my notes when needed has been helpful. It is wonderful
having her help me set goals and then holding me accountable. I
am able to relate to Becky, who has her own pain and handicaps
and really understands what pain is like. My pain is so much
better. My life is more functional!
Kit, Chronic pain sufferer for 46 years
Before I met Rebecca Curtis my life had been controlled by
pain and fear, and the hope of an early death. Every time I
boarded a plane I secretly hoped it would fatally crash, sparing
me a long life of chronic nerve pain. As a minister, I had been
looked to by others for encouragement and hope, but I had so
little to give. I had too much despair in my life.
Today I am a completely different person. I am so grateful for
the instruction and encouragement Rebecca has given me. She has
taught me how to take my pain and channel it into positive and
constructive directions. Directions that not only help me, but
encourage others as well. Her classes have helped every area of
my life; most notably, my physical well being and my emotional
well being. Rebecca has patiently listened to my complaints and
has helped me turn my fears into facts and my despair into
courage.
