This 8-week educational Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Brain Retraining Workshop delves into how to overcome the challenges of chronic pain/illness and embrace recovery. This course includes the information in the 8 week Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Healing Workshop offered by the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center, but differs in that my course focuses mores on education, research evidence on how brain retraining improves health as well as pain and has more brain retraining tools. I also provide information on how to apply PRT to other conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other chronic illnesses and I delve into topics that I believe are critical to return to health such as self care, self compassion, somatic techniques, erecting self-care boundaries and tools to help deal with emotions. Each week comprises of 1 to 1.5 hour lecture recordings and Q & A.
To get the most out of this course, clients should make time in their schedule to watch the weekly recordings (1-1.5 hours), read handouts and listen to any audio recordings (30-60 minutes per week), and do daily brain retraining exercises (15-30 minutes).
I will be offering separate SMALL GROUP COACHING services starting in June for those who have taken or are taking the 8 Week workshop and for those clients who are currently being coached individually. Please CONTACT ME directly for times and availability. Packages of two to four 30 minute individual Q & A sessions for those taking the 8 week workshop are also available. Each private 30 minute Q & A session are billed at $47.50 CAD each.
The Introductory Lecture describes Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Brain Retraining and is a mandatory prerequisite for those wishing to take the 8 week Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Brain Retraining Workshop. This is to ensure that you have a good understanding on whether the 8 week workshop is right for your journey.

5 out of 5 Stars
There is so much packed into this course—I feel like I now have a strong grounding in brain retraining, PRT, emotion work, and CBT. Coming to understand how to work with my body and environment as well as my mind feels like adding some missing pieces to the puzzle of my healing journey. I’ll be recommending the course to anyone who is dealing with chronic pain or illness. I loved the integration of accessible scientific explanations with the tools. This really helped me to believe in the process and stay motivated with my healing. Knowing what to do when pain shows up in my body is hugely empowering and has eased a lot of my fear around it. Lorelei teaches and coaches with so much kindness, humour, and insight. Her personal experience with this healing work allows her to bring a lot of nuance and compassion to the space—you can feel how deeply she cares and is rooting for everyone. –L.K.

The PRT and Brain Retraining course is a good balance of science- backed information and self compassion with a sprinkling of humour throughout. Whether you are experiencing a painful condition or just want to learn new skills to navigate the stressors of daily life, Lorelei’s strategies will be very helpful. As an allied health professional I would not hesitate to recommend the PRT and Brain Retraining Workshop to my clients.

Lorelei’s 8-Week Workshop is an incredibly innovative approach to brain retraining, unlike any other course in the marketplace. With the singular goal of helping as many people heal as possible, Lorelei presents life-changing, easy to implement practices backed by a blend of multidisciplinary clinical research, positive neuroplasticity science, mindfulness education and more. The message is clear: Change is possible, supported by compelling research. The insights I’ve gleaned from this course are invaluable, enriching not only my health journey, but also, unexpectedly fostering powerful personal and professional growth. This workshop is appropriate for beginner brain retrainers and also those who have been doing brain retraining for a while. I cannot recommend the workshop highly enough! KT

Lorelei is an excellent teacher with a very engaging and playful style. She can convey the information clearly and with plenty of science-based justification to back up the content. She finds more than one way to get the material across, and the accompanying materials are extensive and very helpful. Her strong belief in her subject is very evident, and she has so much knowledge that she’s happy to share. Her confidence that we can retrain our brains is inspiring. Best of all, I have been incorporating the exercises and beliefs in my day-to-day, and find it’s helping with some of my chronic issues. I found this course very interesting and engaging, and am already recommending it to others. Thank you so much, Lorelei, for sharing your knowledge, experience and story — you’ve made a difference in my life.
