- You feel emotionally drained by disappointing care, lack of empathy , treatment fails and the overwhelm of managing constant pills, symptoms and medical appointment
- The side effects of drugs and procedures do not seem to be worth the tiny improvements
- Constant diets, digestive upset and guilt keep you from enjoying foods
It doesn’t have to be like this!

Chronic Pain is a dictator
Have appointments, pills and procedures, supplements, and even natural therapies taken over your life?
Has pain eaten away at everything you were to the point that you feel like a shell of your old self and friends do not recognize you anymore?
Pain is like a prison that gets tighter with time. It is a bully that belittles you every day. A dictator that dictates what you can or cannot do.
It makes you forgo everything you love, forget who you were, lose your loved ones. Managing chronic pain is overwhelming and exhausting, especially when it feels like no-one has your back.
But it’s time to channel your inner warrior and fight back!
…You can break free and take your life back!
“Chronic pain is not all about the body, and it’s not all about the brain – it’s everything. Target everything, take back your life. “
— Sean Mackey, MD, PhD

THE SCIENCE OF PAIN
Pain Tries to Protect You
Pain is the result of communication between your body and your brain. It is the message sent by your brain to alert of danger, and protect you from harm. The longer it has been going on, the more that message is loud and hard to quiet down. And the harder it becomes to treat your pain by only treating the body.
Chronic pain is always physical and psychological
So it requires a holistic, global treatment that will support both the body, (the wound, nutrition, sleep), the mind (mindset, vision of life, nervous system), the spirit or psychological (grief, anxiety, emotions acceptance), and the environment (lifestyle habits, toxins, stresses).
This model of treatment of chronic pain is called the bio-psychosocial model (see blog article) and it has proven its effectiveness since the 70’s! –But of course our sick-care system prefers to treat pain with pills and procedures…
Your pain is real, wether you have tissue damage or not!

Break free from the grip of pain
Less pain. More hope, joy & fullfilment
By the end of this 16 weeks pain therapy & coaching you will:
Sleep good at night and feel rested
Recover deep restorative sleep to wake up refreshed and learn how to truly rest.
Pain is worse when you feel tired. In this program you will implement a new sleep hygiene to improve both your sleep quality and quantity, so that your body can restore, digest and heal.
Feel safe, calm and connected
Pain becomes chronic when our nervous system is blocked in survival mode ( the fight, flight and freeze states).
Daily stressors, trauma, surgeries and living with pain can be a traumatic experience that affect your nervous system.
Studies also show us that trauma and emotions can become stuck in the body in the form of pain and inflammation.
Learn strategies, tools and techniques to calm your Autonomous Nervous System (ANS), support your immune system and help your body reach a state of homeostasis (balance).
Find the energy to go about your day and feel motivated
You will implement strategies and new lifestyle habits to balance your life in order to treat fatigue and lethargy, regain mental and physical energy, as well as stamina and motivation.
Build a supportive care team and cultivate a healthy social life & vital connections
We have all done it:
- refused to go to dinner with friends by fear of bloating and being in pain.
- Feeling ashamed because we are picky about what we can eat and preferring staying home.
- Not daring to say yes to an outing because we do not know how well we will feel that day. avoid social outigns, cancel at the last minute, and stay away from people.
You will learn how to communicate your needs, learn to say no where and when it matters, protect your energy while allowing for the deep connection you crave.
Humans are social animals, so pain feels worse when we feel lonely. Learn about social medicine and how to make your social life give you energy rather than drain you, and how to build your own support system to protect your energy and decrease your pain.
Keep fear, frustration, shame and guilt from disrupting your life, needs & energy

Return to movement & activities that brought you joy
Learn how avoidance allows pain to grow and how to progressively reintroduce gentle movement to ease pain, without overdoing it and experiencing increased pain afterwards, so that you can return to activities you love and to your life.
Enjoy eating and feeding your body for healing, without bloat, guilt nor shame
You will learn and implement new ways to nourish your body and mind, with nutrition tips, receipes and meal prep designed by a nutritionist, so that you can enjoy eating again, and help your body fight muscle cramping and inflammation, and thus reduce your levels of pain, while also supporting your immune system and mental health.
Rewire your brain out of chronic pain
Pain becomes chronic when those pain neural pathways are used for too long.
Using pain reprocessing therapy tools, let’s discover what your body is trying to tell you, and what happens when you listen to his messages and replace them with messages of safety.
We will also see how the 6F of pain (fear, frustration, focusing, fighting, figuring out, fixing) have been keeping you in a cycle of pain, and how to stop the vicious cycle.
See how emotions affect your pain levels and manage them more efficiently
Chronic pain comes with a roller coster of emotions that requires a strong mindset and a lot of resilience.
Grief, sadness, frustration, hopelessness, depression…are frequent co-travellers.
By the end of this program you will have learned and practiced techniques to keep away from the anxiety-pain cycle. You will track heavy emotions stuck in your body in the shape of symptoms and pains with somatic tracking and be able to observe them as they dissipate.
Get back to your life and live mindfully, vibrantly, with purpose
You will learn to implement new habits based on lifestyle medicine. With coaching you will switch unsupportive behaviors for helathier ones, and design a new lifestyle that fits who you are now, respects your values, your body, your needs and present abilities, to support your mental and physical health.
See what magic a life that inspires you can do for you!
This plan is for you if:
- You are seeking a more natural approach to heal and manage your symptoms;
- You are open to the concept of mind-body connection;
- You are open to experimenting with new strategies and ready for support and guidance;
- You are willing to discover the hidden factors that influence your pain;
- You feel shame or guilt because of your condition, anxiety about your future or fear the next pain flare ;
- You feel as if you were at war within yourself;
- You avoid some activities due to pain and/or your range of movements has diminished;
- You sleep poorly and/or resting is difficult;
- Joy, flow and fun have left your life.
This plan is not for you if:
- You refuse to believe in science generally speaking, neuroscience or the mind-body connection;
- You are attached to a vision of your symptoms as uniquely physical;
- You want to outsource your healing to a person so they “fix” and heal you;
- You do not want to take responsibility for healing journey;
- You are looking for a quick fix, like a pill, procedure or surgery.
What it is
Holistic mind-body strategies to reduce your reliance on medications
Pain science education & neuroplasticity
Breath work, relaxation and mindfulness
Exercise Pacing
Nutrition for mood, pain & inflammation
Lifestyle medicine and social medicine strategies
Cognitive-behavioral tools
Nervous system regulation
What it is not
A scam
Pain psychology, the bio-psychosocial model, PRT, pain coaching and motivational interviewing are all evidence-based strategies proven to help reduce pain. It worked for me and I’m confident it will help you too!
Medical treatment
Psychotherapy
Recommendations for procedures
In this program, I may offer education and guidance so that you can make the decisions that are right for you and for your body. I believe that the patient knows best, which is why I use a coaching model, not a consultation model.
A diagnosis
These tools will be useful to alleviate chronic pain regardless of diagnosis, and may make a diagnosis unnecessary.
Pain management through pills
Some of the tools I will share with you can work better than medication (see study here) or placebo. Other times, it works best in conjunction with your medical treatment, depending on the person. My goal is always to help you gain control of your symptoms and condition, not add more stress, obligations, pills, or side effects.
“I have found my energy back, I sleep much better”
“Coaching went far beyond my expectations”
Highly recommend!
Laetitia really helped me when I was new to Germany and highly overwhelmed. We tackled my anxiety together and I will always be grateful. ♡

YOUR MIND-BODY PAIN COACH
Hello, I´m Tishia
— a licensed CBT Clinical Psychologist in Belgium, and Mind-body Coach in the USA, with a personal history of chronic pain & illness.
My personal journey with invisible illness began in 2004 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. After the birth of my children, I spent years navigating unexplained fatigue, back pain, migraines, pelvic discomfort, and digestive issues. It wasn’t until 2014, after extensive medical testing, that I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the Mayo Clinic in Florida. During surgery, I also discovered I had adenomyosis.
The long healing process that followed made me realize the limitations of our “sick-care” system and reinforced my desire to manage my symptoms more naturally. This led me to explore alternative treatments, including herbal medicine and lifestyle interventions, and to deepen my understanding of chronic pain psychology.
I created this program for the version of me who felt alone, lost, unsupported, confused and overwhelmed while exhausted of having tried everything.
It’s not that it does not work for you. You just haven’t been given the right tools and plan yet.
I spent the past 20 years studying and finding what worked for my endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms to learn what I needed to get my life back.
Today, my mission is to empower women with adenomyosis and chronic pain to reclaim control over their bodies to get their lives back, providing personalized, evidence-based care to alleviate suffering, improve their quality of life and foster lasting well-being.
“It is only when th mind is open and receptive that learning and seeing ans change can occur”
