What is the MBCPM Program?
The MBCPM is a 12-week evidence based trauma-sensitive and trauma-informed program designed specifically for those with chronic pain. It may help reduce pain, decrease stress and improve quality of life.
Participants can expect to:
- Participate in a weekly 2-1/2 hr. group class where they will connect with others who are living with chronic pain
- Practice mindfulness meditation (for as little as 5 min/day)
- Gain an understanding of the connection between stress, pain and body symptoms
- Enhance self-care practices, including eating, exercising, and sleeping
- Become more self-aware and enhance relationships with others and themselves
- Benefit from Empowering Mind & Body’s knowledge and experience supporting individuals with complex trauma

What MBCPM Participants are Saying:
Since participating in the MBCPM I have noticed a reduction in my pain and my concern about pain. I also learned that I could contribute in a group setting.
Credit to Nicole for guiding us to participate, her non judgment allowed us to be more forthcoming, yet her ability to know when to pull back or ask permission for questions or not have us overstep, shows her experience and a command of facilitating and leading.
This course has taught me that mindfulness can be effective at helping with my moods, outlook, pain, sleeping, and dealing with others.

Even though it was virtual I didn’t want to miss a session!
Participating in this group helped me realize that our symptoms are similar, and emotions around those symptoms are relatable, and we are not alone in our journey.
