Your Personal Pain-Coping Coach
Imagine a future where painkilling doesn't have to be your only option.
Doctors have told you there’s nothing wrong with you, but your pain keeps coming and going.
The pain isn’t bad enough to complain about, but it’s keeping you sidelined from fun things, draining your energy and causing worry.
You’re confused because no matter what you do, the pain is still there - bodywork treatments and medication only give you temporary relief.
You’re overwhelmed and burned out by the long list of things that you’ve been told you “should” or “shouldn’t” do, eat or think.
You’re afraid that, if you seek help, you’ll just be judged and lectured about what you’re doing wrong.
96% of studies looking at the impact of self-care strategies on pain showed positive outcomes for reducing pain and improving function.

What You Can Expect
Create the Right Focus
Filter through the noise to prioritize the one thing that needs your attention right now, allowing everything else to fall into place.
Paying attention to your pain right away, instead of powering through or toughing it out, can shorten the duration and intensity
Have you found a way to confidently move past the paralyzing overwhelm by identifying which advice is right or wrong for you ?
Develop a Strategy
With a clear strategy catered to your unique situation, personality and lifestyle, you set yourself up for success.
Pain is never the result of just one thing. Without looking at all three major types of triggers, your pain either won’t fully resolve or will keep coming back.
Have you identified all of your pain triggers so that your body can fully recover - biomechanically, biochemically, and emotionally?
Customize a Coping Plan
A coping plan can arm you with essential tools specific to your unique pain triggers.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Do you have a plan that you can rely on with confidence when this pain comes back or when a new pain strikes?
Let me help you create one.
Compassion
Curiosity
Caring
Research shows that, when it comes to back pain, what we learn to do for ourselves matters a lot more than what doctors do for us.

Hi, I'm Ya-Ling.
I'm a chiropractic physician and health coach. One of the things I do best is find clarity inside of confusing pain situations.
I love to help people uncover the right strategy for sustainable relief. Manual therapies only go so far. Lasting relief isn't something you get from a 15 min. or even a 1 hr. long treatment. But when you have help developing a personalized self-care strategy, your pain experience will completely transform.
Having a plan that you can deploy with confidence during and after a pain episode makes it less likely to turn into chronic pain.
Knowing what to focus on and how to filter through the self-help noise out there is the hard part.
I can help with that.
