After being hit by a car in 2008, Olivia was told she would never walk or practice medicine again. Thus began her own journey with pain and recovery.

Senior Clinical Pain Psychologist

Inspired by the life-changing impact of a pain management program on a friend, Mary became fascinated by the neuroplastic and psychosocial components of persistent pain. She sought out pain management practices for her Masters degree placements, and never turned back.

Psychotherapist & Performance Coach

The longer pain persists, the more it takes over one's world—one's sense of self, identity, and abilities (or perceived lack thereof). This experience creates a narrative that becomes who we are... and often, unravelling this story is essential to turning the page and writing a new one.

Drawing on her experience as an executive coach for Google with her clinical expertise in Narrative therapy, Freya guides participants to reclaim their identity beyond pain. She empowers participants to recognise their strengths, rewrite their stories, and envision a future where pain no longer defines them.
