Pain Free Breakthrough
An Intensive Recovery Program for Overcoming Chronic Pain in 8 weeks!
Imagine having all the information, tools and techniques at your disposal, which will guide you out of chronic pain and other unresolved symptoms in a matter of weeks…
You finally know WHY you had symptoms and HOW to overcome them, without having to constantly limit your activities or plan your life around your symptoms.
It’s something that I’ve seen happening over and over again.
First on myself as an ex chronic pain sufferer, then on other peers and clients who’ve applied the same approach.
The aim behind my Intensive Pain Free Breakthrough Program is to make ALL this knowledge and approach accessible to you, in a way that is easy to apply, without overwhelm or confusion.
Hi, I’m miriam
I recovered from debilitating sciatica/piriformis pain, neuropathic pain, hip and shoulder pain (even though I’d been told by several specialists to give up on healing!).
The only approach that worked for me (and many others!) was learning about Neuroplastic (TMS) pain, and on how to effectively rewire my brain for pain-free.
Today, I am a certified Holistic Life Coach and MindBody Practitioner, and I work relentlessly to facilitate chronic pain recovery for clients from all over the world.
This Program is for those people who have been in pain for several months, or even years.
Watch the video to get a look at the program dashboard and inclusions!
Note: You can adapt this program to tackle other symptoms such as IBS, tinnitus, skin issues and other symptoms that have not responded well to conventional treatment.
It’s for you if you’re still afraid to move in or exercise certain ways, for fear of making things worse.
It’s for you if your life revolves around constantly trying to avoid a flare up.
Because if you’re a chronic pain sufferer, chances are that you’ve given up on your favourite activities, or even on the most basic of movements. And you fear that your life could get even more limited if you don’t do something about this.
In short, pain has really got in the way for you. You feel it’s robbing you of your freedom, and of the life you’d like to lead.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t change things around. All you need is the right information PLUS the tools to apply it to your personal situation.
HEALING IS NOT A FIGHT, NEITHER IS IT THE DIRECT RESULT OF A TREATMENT.
IT IS ABOUT CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS — THE RIGHT CONDITIONS FOR PAIN FREE.
Why a Pain Recovery Program can be the solution
First of all, let me start off by telling you why chronic pain persists. In most cases, it’s not because the body is unable to heal, nor because you have a condition that’s getting worse.
It is NOT like an injury, nor is it due to a ‘damage’ (in approx. 85% of cases). But if it’s been treated as if it were, then it’s no surprise that you’ve had no success.
THE REASON WHY YOU’RE STILL IN PAIN IS DUE TO AN INTERPLAY OF FACTORS, WHICH MAY INVOLVE:
a past negative experience with pain or illness;
another shocking our traumatic event that caused nervous system dysregulation (dysregulation is associated with the nervous system’s inability to ‘reset’ to its normal level after the original stressor has passed);
the repeated experience of pain itself can cause the body become sensitized to experience harmless activities or sensations as increasingly painful; (this is evidently the case with syndromes like fibromyalgia and crps, which spread to various parts of the body).
In short, chronic pain is a danger signal, which continues to fire mistakenly because the brain still thinks that you need some form of ‘protection’ or warning. It’s like an alarm system that’s gone a bit… haywire!
Luckily, you can now teach the brain to make different associations, feel safer, and switch off this response! This is what my self-paced program can help you achieve.

The work Miriam is doing is transformative and amazing, and I am so grateful!”
How the right knowledge and a mindset shift led me to my recovery
Climbing one of my hardest routes to date with my ‘supposedly’ damaged shoulder (I never had the surgery!)
It was at the beginning of Autumn 2016 when my breakthrough took place at last. After trying every possible treatment for my chronic pain symptoms (and ending up way worse than before - having to stop working and claim a sickness benefit), I discovered why my pain had started and why it was persisting.
As I learnt about the Science behind the generation of pain, things finally started to make much more sense.
Initially, I thought I was working to alleviate my pain - but then, I realized that I could dare to dream even bigger - I could TOTALLY RECOVER FROM CHRONIC PAIN, even though I also had fibromyalgia symptoms, and there was supposed to be no cure for that!
Total pain recovery meant I could return to my favourite sport (rock climbing), run, travel, and never have to worry about getting chronic pain again - because now, I know what to I need to do if I ever get a hint of it!
And today, I am sharing all the knowledge, techniques and insights through the Pain Free Breakthrough Program, which I created based on my own experience, my further studies on Pain Science and Psychology, as well as and on what I learnt from all the clients that I’ve personally coached out of pain in the past years.

What kind of symptoms can this program help with?
If you’ve had chronic pain for over 6 months and no rehabilitation program has ever worked to completely relieve it, then you’re very likely to benefit from this TMS-based program, for as long as you’ve excluded serious medical conditions that require urgent treatment (like cancers, tumours or infections).
Some of the most common chronic symptoms that can be tackled through this Program include:
chronic back pain (including pain blamed on scoliosis, pinched nerves, bone spurs and spondylolysthesis)
chronic neck pain (including pain blamed on pinched nerves)
shoulder pain (including pain blamed on bursitis)
fibromyalgia symptoms (pain or unpleasant sensations in multiple locations)
unexplained neuropathic pain
sciatica symptoms
piriformis pain
TMJ disorders
facial pain
pelvic pain
tension headaches and migraines
pain blamed on tendonitis
carpal tunnel syndrome / wrist pain
tennis elbow and other RSIs
The lessons and techniques in this program can also benefit those suffering from other types of symptoms that have been linked to anxiety and stress, such as insomnia, tinnitus, eczema, acid reflux and IBS.
I’M PUTTING THIS OUT THERE BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE IN IT.
Because over and over, people who’ve understood and applied the approach to their daily lives have managed to decrease their pain levels significantly, and even totally.
So are you ready to start piecing the bits and pieces together? Are you ready for some transformational inner work?
Your commitment and an open mind is all that is required. The program will deliver the rest of the insights, tools and resources.
“Anyone and everyone, regardless of pain sensations (signals), would benefit tremendously from your program. It is life-changing.
ALL of my pains (almost 2 years worth) disappeared entirely within 30 mins of watching one of your videos. It made sense instantly!”
Frequently Asked Questions
+ I have been in pain for years. will this work for me?
The approach I’ll guide you through has proven effective even for people who have had symptoms for a number of years. This is because most people have never addressed the original factors that are contributing to pain, and have continued to treat only symptoms.
If you have never followed a mindbody and/or brain rewiring approach to chronic pain recovery that addressed the conditioning process (by addressing harmful beliefs, expectations, reactions and habits), then there's a great chance that this is why you haven't progressed so far. This program will fill in the missing gaps.
+ How long does it take to become pain free?
Those who follow this approach 100% typically see results within 5 to 6 weeks. However, every individual is different.
Consistent action that addresses beliefs, behaviours and reactions that fuel the pain cycle is key to recovering fast.
If you are taking this program while still very doubtful that it will work, then this may set you back. Since we work with the brain, it’s vital that you send your brain the right signals. Any doubts about past injuries or conditions being still to blame for pain will impede progress.
That said, I’ll do my best to strengthen your confidence and help you eliminate those doubts. My suggestion is to get started with an open mind, and allow the possibility for this to work for the duration of the program. If you don't experience any benefits by the end of it, please contact me!
+ What if I'm not sure that I have TMS / neuroplastic pain?
If there are still diagnostic tests that you feel you should take, you should take these first to eliminate serious medical conditions that require essential treatment.
If you have had all the tests and found no reason for your symptoms OR, if your symptoms were blamed on a structural condition but you have found no effective treatment for it, then it is likely that your pain is Neuroplastic / TMS.
+ How much of my time does the program require?
The program requires an average of 2 hours’ work every week, ideally broken up on multiple days of the week. It will take you around 30 to 40 minutes to read a lesson or listen to the audio and video, and after that, you will be required to work on a few small tasks during the rest of the week.
Realistically, you can finish the program in between 10 to 14 weeks.
+ Can I combine this Recovery Program with physical therapy or other treatments?
Certain treatments are in conflict with what is taught in this program, and are not recommended unless your medical practitioner deems it necessary. That said, you can decide whether or when to stop a treatment as you progress through the program.
The idea behind this program is to address symptoms from a psychological and neuroplastic level. Any treatment that addresses symptoms as purely physical may conflict with progress.
+ Does the program include live sessions or coaching?
To keep the pricing affordable I have structured this program into a fully DIY-program which will get you to apply every lesson to your personal situation through the weekly tasks (it's not a one-size-fits-all approach!)
There is also the option of buying the program + session bundle, which will include a one on one session with me at any time up to 3 months after program purchase. This bundle costs an additional $70 ($249).
+ What if I start the program and realise it's not for me?
I offer a money-back guarantee on the Pain Free Breakthrough Program for those who believe that they will not benefit from it. Anyone can ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked.
That’s all - a one time payment of $179 for all the lessons, videos, resources, inclusion in the Program community AND email support!
