Empowered Relief® is an evidence-based, single-session pain class that rapidly equips patients with effective pain management skills.
The Empowered Relief line of science includes published evidence from four randomized controlled trials conducted at Stanford University School of Medicine involving patients with chronic pain and patients undergoing different types of surgery. All four trials have yielded clinically meaningful results and durable efficacy. Multidimensional benefits across a range of symptoms suggest that Empowered Relief is an all-purpose intervention for people with acute and chronic pain.

Empowered Relief® is an evidence-based, two-hour pain class. It was developed by pain researchers at Stanford University, and delivered exclusively by certified clinicians world-wide. According to 5 randomized-controlled trials, participation in the class reduced pain intensity, stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many other symptoms. Symptom relief was found to be enduring. Empowered Relief® is currently delivered as part of standard pain, and pre-surgical care at Cleveland Clinic, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and other major health systems.

Empowered Relief has been shown to be effective in people who have chronic and acute pain, as well as people who are about to undergo surgery. It doesn't matter how long you have been in pain, or whether you are treating your pain in other ways, for the intervention to be effective.

Life happens, I get it. If you’re unable to make the class I’m happy to refund your money (less $20 for credit card processing fees) up until one week before class.

Empowered Relief is more of a class than a group. It’s pretty didactic in nature. There is a lot on information to get through; that being said, I love questions and class involvement!
