Rewiring pain through evidence-based mind-body methods
Clinical expertise for women ready to move beyond management and into recovery
I believe your pain is real...
Most women with chronic pain have tried everything yet still find themselves managing symptoms instead of truly recovering. You’ve done the physical therapy, the tests, the treatments, and the mindset work. But pain persists because it’s not just physical. Pain is also shaped by how the brain interprets signals of safety and threat.
My approach bridges neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral medicine to help you retrain your nervous system and shift from protection to genuine safety. This isn’t about pushing harder or thinking more positively; it’s about understanding how pain works and learning to work with your body, not against it.
Together, we’ll integrate science, intuition, and practical strategies that restore confidence in your body’s ability to heal. You’ll learn how to recognize and influence your body’s protective responses, build resilience, and create lasting change...
...one informed step at a time.
THIS IS WHERE EVIDENCE-BASED PAIN-RETRAINING BEGINS
Despite years of treatment, many women still find themselves managing pain rather than truly recovering. My work bridges the science of pain with the lived reality of women’s lives, integrating neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral medicine with personalized pain retraining tailored to each nervous system’s unique patterns. This evidence-informed and compassion-driven approach harnesses the brain’s ability to change while rebuilding trust, regulation, and resilience for lasting recovery.
Your recovery begins with understanding how pain works, and continues as you learn to retrain it.
The Anti-Threat System:
A 3-Part, Evidence-Informed Framework for Women’s Pain Recovery
It is well established that chronic pain is maintained by a complex interplay of the brain, body, and behavior, but pain is also deeply influenced by context: the pace of life, emotional load, identity, and expectations. The Anti-Threat System integrates these realities, helping women shift their nervous systems from chronic protection into genuine safety.
This framework draws from the convergence of modern pain science, clinical psychology, and occupational science and honors something research can’t quantify: a woman’s intuition about her own body.
My Anti-Threat System strikes the balance of blending the rigor of evidence-based practice with the wisdom of lived experience, translating the science of pain and regulation into practical, compassionate strategies that work in real life.
Mind-Body
Literacy
Relearning how to listen to - and lead - your nervous system.
Pain is a protective signal, not a reliable indicator of damage. Through validation, education, reflection, and guided practice, you’ll learn how your brain constructs pain and how to send new messages of safety back through the system. This stage builds awareness, curiosity, and confidence, creating a foundation for neuroplastic change and nervous system regulation.
Value-Centered
Movement
Restoring function and freedom through meaningful action.
Recovery from chronic pain isn’t about pushing harder, rather, it is about moving smarter. Here, we integrate pacing, behavioral flexibility, and values-based decision-making to rebuild trust in your body and break the push-crash cycle. By aligning movement with what matters most, you reconnect effort with purpose, transforming movement from a source of fear or completion of a to-do list, into a vehicle for confidence. and forward momentum.
Rhythm of
Renewal
Embedding safety and resilience into the structure of daily life.
Lasting change happens when safety becomes a lived rhythm. In this phase, we use principles from occupational science, behavior change, and stress physiology to design rituals, routines, and recovery patterns that regulate your system over time. These practices help your brain expect calm, your body sustain energy, and your life regain its natural balance.
Real Results from Women Who Thought Relief Wasn’t Possible
What Recovery Looks Like
"I will be forever changed by Dr. Anna's program. I bet on myself and won, and there's no better feeling than that. Since joining the program, almost all of my symptoms have disappeared and I am able to show up differently in life. I have more confidence, I feel validated, and I have more patience and energy for my kids".

"This month, I was finally able to realize my long-time dream of taking a trip to the Grand Canyon... my pain did not dominate the trip and I had a great time. .. Anna's course helped me to pace my activities appropriately, without all-or-nothing thinking or self-judgment. I'm looking forward to building on what is possible!"

Your trusted guide to lasting pain recovery.
Hi, I’m Dr. Anna Redmond! I am a clinical psychologist, board-certified in biofeedback, and specialized in chronic pain management. I help women reclaim confidence, vitality, and trust in their bodies by bridging the science of pain with the lived experience of being human.
I’ve worked across medical and digital settings, and I’ve navigated pain myself.
That experience reshaped how I approach healing. Sustainable recovery isn’t about finding the next treatment or “fixing” your body, it’s about retraining your nervous system to feel safe again.
If you’ve been stuck between trying harder and giving up hope, you’re in the right place. Healing starts here: grounded in science, compassion, and the belief that your body can change.
