Pain neuroscience
Grounded in current pain science research on how the brain and nervous system generate and sustain pain — and how that can change.
What is pain recovery coaching, actually?
A method of coaching designed for long-term resilience and embodiment.
Cait uses somatic, biomechanical, and cognitive strategies to reconnect to body sensations and re-establish an embodied experience of safety.
Rigid protocols do not work. Instead, we focus on building a communicative and responsive relationship with your body and creating foundations of safety via movement.
Transformative care for long term change
How the method works
Embodiment
Learn how to reconnect to your body's sensations and dynamically respond to them. This is a continuous practice that builds self-trust and autonomy over time.
Therapeutic Movement
Both precision biomechanics and intuitive movement serve as a doorway to feeling safety within the body. Build progressive exposure and skills to move towards what matters to you.

How is this different from talk therapy?
Coaching is not a replacement for mental health support or talk therapy.
Pain recovery coaching blends Pain Reprocessing Therapy with therapeutic movement. Rather than solely talking through experiences, we work with the body directly — building a felt sense of safety alongside cognitive understanding.
Cait utilizes her expertise in pelvic health and biomechanics to provide clients with an abundance of precision and intuitive movements, mindfulness techniques, and somatic exercises. The goal is to explore which of these tools is most effective for the client and improving the client's ability to dynamically assess and advocate for their body's unique needs. In this way, clients leave feeling fully seen, unconditionally supported, and armed with new skills that serve them for the long haul.
Coaching is focused on the present and looks forward with actionable tools, while mental health talk therapy integrates an improved understanding of and orientation to the past to present patterns.

What does a session feel like?
Sessions begin with a deep listening grounding exercise, then move into client-driven goals that combine cognitive strategies with movement. Our work is collaborative and responsive to your needs on that day.
How does it relate to other therapies?
Coaching can fill a gap between psychotherapy and traditional physical therapy approaches. It is a space to focus on how we think about and interact physically with pain in our lives. How it fits alongside other care very much depends on your personal needs — many folks find that pain recovery coaching is the "missing link".
How long until I feel improvement?
Many clients notice initial improvement within weeks. A typical commitment is three to six months of weekly care, which gives the nervous system an opportunity to reorganize and new neural patterns to form.
Wondering if this work is what you're looking for?
I get it! A good fit is essential to care that actually works, and I want that for you!
Let's talk and explore what makes sense.
