Tame the Flame - CRPS Healing Support

03/06/2026

A call for free pilot program participation: In Oct. 2024, less than 24 hours after taking a beginner’s archery class and excitedly calling it my new hobby, I broke my wrist and had surgery. I had no idea that such a common injury would lead me into one of the most painful and challenging experiences of my life.

At first, I didn’t understand what was happening. I just knew something was very wrong. The pain, swelling, tingling, guarding, and fear felt bigger than what should have been happening, and it was overwhelming trying to make sense of it all while living in a body that no longer felt safe.

Then, four weeks after surgery, I walked into physical therapy and met Jill. She recognized CRPS almost immediately, and that moment changed everything for me. Being seen, understood, and guided so early on gave me something I desperately needed: hope.

From there, I made healing my focus and began incorporating not only physical therapy and nervous system support, but also strategies I had picked up as a wellness coach and subconscious healer.

CRPS demanded a much broader approach than I ever expected — from PT and nervous system work to taming inflammation, supporting my body through nutrition, and addressing the mental and subconscious side of healing too.

Now that I’ve come so far in my own healing journey, Jill and I are about to launch a small CRPS pilot program to support others who may be looking for hope and a broader path forward too. I'm looking for just 1-2 more people to launch! If this speaks to you, here’s the link to learn more: https://mailchi.mp/0a5c6ecd879a/crps-flame-to-feathers

One thing stood out to me after my CRPS diagnosis:

No single strategy works for everyone. Healing often requires a combination of:

• Physical approaches
• Subconscious work
• Mental & nervous system regulation

That’s the foundation of my CRPS Pilot Program.

This is a gentle, non-invasive, exploratory space for those who feel stuck and are open to trying a multi-layered path.

We’re nearly ready to begin and have just a few pilot program spots remaining.

🔥 Tame the Flame 🔥
Living with CRPS can be deeply isolating.
Loved ones may grow impatient or struggle to understand.

Medical professionals may not believe you—or may minimize what you’re experiencing.
That kind of invalidation can be incredibly painful.

So hear this:
You are seen.
You are believed.
You don’t need their validation.

What you’re experiencing is real—and it’s hard.
The goal of this Tame the Flame pilot program is to explore ways to find relief—and for some, even heal—through nervous-system regulation, physical strategies, and holistic support.

✨ We just need two more people to begin.
If this speaks to you, you’re welcome to sign up to be considered:

🌿 Sunday Tame the Flame Tip 🌿

Today’s focus is rest without guilt.

Living with CRPS means your nervous system works overtime. Rest supports regulation and healing.

Try this today:
Cancel one non-essential thing.
Sit or lie down in your most comfortable spot.
Take long, slow belly breaths and remind your body that you are safe. Breathe in, “Rest helps my body heal.” Breathe out all the built-up stress, worries and fear. Relax your guarded muscles, one by one. Can you make 3 minutes? Maybe even 10? This is YOUR time.

Small acts of nervous-system kindness matter. Small but mighty moments build up. into small and often acts.

✨ I’m opening a small Tame the Flame pilot group for people navigating CRPS.

After going through my own CRPS diagnosis and recovery, I wanted to create something supportive for others navigating this condition.

Tame the Flame is a small, guided program focused on calming the nervous system and supporting healing through:

• Nervous system regulation
• Gentle physical and neurological strategies
• Inflammation support
• Subconscious and emotional safety work

If you’re newly diagnosed, or if you’ve been living with CRPS for a while and feel stuck, this may be worth exploring.

Most people with CRPS have heard the same discouraging words:
“It’s permanent.” “There’s nothing you can do.” “You’ll just have to accept it.” ⛔

Hearing that, especially from trusted professionals, is like being dropped into stormy waters with no lighthouse in sight. It can further strengthen the chronic inflammation > something's not right fear > cortisol fight or flight > pain loop.

But when someone says:
“You can find relief.” "You can take back control." “There are tools.” “You are not out of options.” …it’s like a light appears in the distance. ✨ Hope returns. 🧭

Belief in healing doesn’t guarantee the outcome, but disbelief almost guarantees failure.

CRPS isn’t about “thinking positive.”
It’s about creating a system where your body feels safe enough to lower the fire… where your nervous system quiets… and where you can gather tools that tame the flame instead of fueling it.

Your experience is real, and valid. Everything you’ve tried so far has been part of your foundation.

The layered approach that helped me heal — my own tools plus my OT’s treatments — was powerful, and I want to see if it can help others as well.

If you’re open to it, I’d love to have you join me in a free pilot program starting in January. Sign up to be considered here:

Welcome to Tame the Flame – CRPS Healing Support 🔥🌊
If you’re here, you probably know the fire of CRPS all too well. The burning 🔥, the fear, the constant second-guessing of your own body, and the frustration of not being believed.

I’ve been there. 💛

My CRPS started after wrist surgery, but went unrecognized and undiagnosed for a month. My surgeon's office dismissed the pain, while family members thought I was just being sensitive. Others said something wasn't right but provided no insights.

Then I met the occupational therapist, who recognized CRPS as I walked towards her, before I even sat down. She changed my entire trajectory with her expertise and her belief that I could heal. 🌿

She didn’t scare me, write me off, or tell me CRPS is permanent.
She looked me in the eye and said, “We can work with this.” 🌊

That moment mattered more than any treatment I had tried.

With her guidance and a layered, nervous-system-centered approach, I slowly found my way back. I’m now ~97% healed, ready to see whether my healing process can help others, too. ✨

I've been developing a small pilot program for people who want to explore a gentler, more natural and more hopeful path forward, working with my OT to see if our combined healing modalities will work for others with varying CRPS.

You deserve support from people who don’t just “understand CRPS,” but who believe in your ability to improve. 🌊

I see you. I believe you. And I believe you have more options to find relief.💛

If you’d like to learn more about the pilot as we roll it out, comment “💛”. I’m genuinely glad you’re here.
