Empowered Relief
One class. Leave with real skills and a different relationship with pain.
Empowered Relief® is a single 2-hour, evidence-based class developed at Stanford — I'm a certified instructor, and I teach it live, virtually, right here.
What is Empowered Relief?
Empowered Relief was built by chronic pain researchers at Stanford Labs to help people with chronic pain learn to have more control over their pain experience. In one two-hour session, you'll learn how the brain and nervous system shape the experience of pain and you'll leave with numerous evidence-based skills to reduce your experience of pain — no ongoing commitment required.
What you'll walk away with
Understand — why pain persists, and the science that gives you real leverage over it.
Gain — numerous evidence-based relief skills you can use the same day.
Receive — a free guided relaxation recording to keep practicing at home.
Create — a personal pain-relief plan you leave class with, already in hand.
Bring — a friend or family member. This tends to work better when you're not carrying it alone.
Quick answers
Is this the same as therapy?
No. Empowered Relief is psychoeducational and skills-based. It doesn't create an ongoing provider-patient relationship, and it isn't a substitute for individual treatment.
Do I need a referral or diagnosis to attend?
No. This class is open to anyone living with chronic or persistent pain, and to the people who support them.
Is this covered by insurance?
No. This class is private pay at a flat $35 per person and isn't billed to insurance.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes — bring a friend, partner, or family member for support. You'll leave with skills that work if you use them consistently, so having someone to learn them with you and encourage you to continue practicing is great.
