Neuroplastic Symptom Recovery Coach

About Lara

The Sage Practice · Boston

I am a passionate advocate and voice in the field for those living with mixed structural / neuroplastic symptoms. After a catastrophic misdiagnosis of very rare life- and limb- threatening condition when I was 16, I required over a dozen surgeries that saved my legs but left significant structural damage, pain, and disability. With mind body work, I have experienced tremendous healing, if not “recovery.” Even the most structural conditions have neuroplastic amplifiers. This work can help everyone — it just looks different for different people!

Symptoms I commonly help with:

  • pain that persists in spite of years of mind body work
  • mixed structural / neuroplastic pain
  • mixed structural / neuroplastic symptoms
