Important to Know

Reclaim Your Life is a 1:1 mindbody coaching and mentoring program, a supportive, relationship-based process that integrates three complementary strands of work:
(1) broader life and wellbeing mentoring,
(2) pain education grounded in neuroscience, and
(3) mindbody coaching in support of persistent pain and neuroplastic symptom recovery.

This work does not constitute medical or mental health diagnosis, treatment, or care. It is not a substitute for medical services or psychotherapy and is intended to complement, not replace, any existing healthcare support. You are encouraged to consult appropriate professionals where needed. I offer clinical services only in Mexico. If you’re in Mexico and interested in mindbody medicine or psychotherapy, please contact me via WhatsApp on +52 55 5508 9246.

Additional information:

I am licensed to practise medicine and psychotherapy in Mexico and have more than 25 years of clinical experience. I have also recovered from a decade of persistent back pain through a mindbody approach.

The services I provide outside of Mexico are educational and mentorship-based, not medical care. Unless you are a permanent resident of Mexico physically located in Mexico at the time of our sessions, nothing I share constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and our work together does not establish a doctor–patient or therapist–client relationship. You remain responsible for your own health decisions and for maintaining care with licensed health professionals in your place of residence. Learn more.

What this means in practice:

• I draw on my extensive medical and psychotherapy training and experience to help you understand complex information, clarify confusing or scary diagnoses, address doubts, and support more informed conversations with your healthcare providers.

• I provide educational consultations rooted in evidence-based practice, always offered as mentorship and not as medical advice or treatment.

• I bring my own lived experience of chronic pain, healing, and recovery.

• I can help you: 

  • Make sense of complex medical language;

  • Translate confusing or scary diagnoses or findings;

  • Integrate context and nuance in a way that reduces fear and overwhelm; 

  • Identify how neuroplastic mechanisms may be affecting your symptoms through evidence-based assessment;

  • Work through lingering doubts about your symptoms and recovery;

  • Gain clarity on the process of deprescribing or tapering off medications, including what research, clinical guidelines, and patient experiences suggest about different approaches, so you can have more informed, empowered conversations with your healthcare provider about your options;

  • And offer guidance and education that’s both accurate and compassionate. 

  Rather than spiral or get lost down rabbit holes of internet searches or worst-case scenarios, you gain access to insight, grounded education, and practical guidance rooted in expertise and evidence-based practice, as well as lived experience.

  I’ve sat with people of all ages in moments of all-consuming fear and grief, physical vulnerability, emotional complexity, trauma responses, and profound transition, as well as moments of expansive joy, deep love, and the vibrant aliveness that can emerge even in the midst of loss and difficulty. I’ve also had plenty of practice with my own pain and recovery.

  This has deepened my ability to stay present, attuned, and steady even in experiences that may feel especially intense, unsettling, triggering, or overwhelming. 

  You don’t have to go through those moments alone. I will meet whatever unfolds with radical presence, curiosity, clarity, and compassion.
