Hi, I'm Simone,
I'm so happy you're here! 

Thank you for stopping by my site. I hope you’ve found some helpful information that’s empowering you to believe that recovery from chronic pain is possible. Because science is certainly showing JUST THAT!

 

I understand that switching your belief from what you’ve been told by your medical providers over a long period of time can be challenging. I’ve been there and promise to be patient with you. But I will also persistently point out and repeat the facts of why YOU CAN HEAL and how you can unlearn your pain.

 

There are many mindbody coaches out there, so what do I have to offer in this context?

Well, for one, I’ve been specializing in complex pain presentations for well over the last decade in my neurology-based manual therapy practice. On top of that, I’m the mom of two teenage boys who have both been dealing with a plethora of neuroplastic symptoms for years (abdominal pain, full-body aches, headaches, dizziness, nausea, anxiety, OCD, and more). I’ve been through the traditional medical approaches with them (medication, procedures, pain clinic, etc.) and know that they are not enough to treat chronic psychophysiologic conditions properly.

Simone Holderbach, Pain Elimination Coach and founder of The Mindbody Approach

When I first learned about Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I felt like the stars had aligned and the final puzzle piece was put in place. It made so much sense to me to address pain via retraining the brain. I decided to go all in and learn everything I could about mindbody conditions and the neuroplasticity of the pain brain.

 

Today, I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and graduated from Dr. Schubiner’s ‘Freedom from Chronic Pain’ and ‘Beyond Pain Education’ practitioner trainings, which also incorporate the facilitation of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET). Additionally, I use other psychophysiological therapies, mindfulness approaches, and techniques from NLP and hypnosis in my work. Each coaching program is tailored to each individual client because there are no two pain stories alike.

 

My clients describe me as uplifting, supportive, full of hope and joy, nerdy, and endlessly curious. Out of all of these wonderfully flattering attributes, in my opinion, it’s the curiosity that helps me the most in my detective work of figuring out how to help you recover from chronic pain. Not everything works for everyone, but I am determined to figure out what works for YOU.  

 

I hope to meet you and be able to assist you one day. And if I don’t, I wish you nothing but the best on your healing journey.

 

And please remember to always be kind to yourself!

With much love,

 

Simone Holderbach

  • Learn how the pain system works, why chronic pain develops, and what keeps it alive and often worsening over time.

  • Understand the mind-body connection and how EVERYTHING matters when it comes to pain.

 

  • Gather evidence of how much your brain and the state of your nervous system affect your pain experience.

02

Skill-Building via Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Still not sure if mindbody coaching is right for you?

Video Call

I completely understand.

If you’re like me, you might be a little wary about scheduling a call with a person you don’t know at all.

But here is what I want you to know: I am not trying to sell you anything. My goal is to support you in the best possible way – for YOU! If that means, coaching with me isn’t what you need, I will straight up tell you just that.

So, if you’re intrigued and curious about coaching, I invite you to take the leap and schedule the call. You have nothing to lose but so much to gain.
