Membership Specifics

Bi-Weekly Live, Action Taking/Working sessions
Monthly Q&A Sessions
Monthly Live Coaching group sessions or expert topics
A Private Online Community
Community Events
All sessions will primarily be led by Deana Tsiapalis (Head pain coach and chief curator) or an ambassador from Pain 2 Possibilities. From time to time they may also be joined by other experts such as Physicians, Naturopaths and other experts offering their expertise to help you further along your success path.

All of the above core elements will take place via Zoom.
During each bi-weekly live session you will have an opportunity to work through your action items on your own or with a group at a set time. The monthly Q & A's offer an opportunity for you to ask questions as you work your way through the content. These will primarily be led by Deana Tsiapalis but from time to time may be lead by a subject matter expert and will be clearly communicated.
The information and guidance shared by Deana Tsiapalis will be based on her accreditations and schooling in Chronic Pain Education, Wellness & Chronic Pain Coaching, Exercise Science and Behavioural Change.
Some of the live sessions will be recorded and made available inside of the library. Some sessions (for example - coaching sessions) may not be recorded due to their confidential nature. Zoom does offer the ability to add or remove your name from your live image if you prefer the recordings not to show your name. Recordings will be available for a 6 month period or less so that we can manage our platforms bandwidth and storage capacity.

Question & Answer Sessions
Each month you will get the chance to ask questions about the content you will be working through and any action items and get the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarity from inside our Cwtch Community platform. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in advance and during the Q & A session with the remainder of sesions open for shorter questions.

Self-Study
In addition to the group masterclasses and live Q&As there will be additional training resources available for members to consider in their own time. As part of your membership you will have access to a ready made library. Inside the library you can find recources, workshops and others to help expand your learning. We periodically add content to our ever expanding library of which includes video lessons, previously recorded workshops, checklists, etc. For best results you should work through the 'Pain Explained' workshop first in your own time if you missed any of the live sessions in your own time. Failure to do so may limit your ability to learn from the tips and guidance shared in the live sessions. The content of all resources and training will be provided in English, translations are not available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I can’t make a live session?
As far as possible, the live masterclasses will be held in the either inside the community platform (Heartbeat) or on our website via Zoom. Most of the sessions will be recorded and the link to watch will be sent to you within 48 hours following the end of a live session. From time-to-time technology may fail and the recording may be unavailable or of poor visual or sound quality, but we do aim to record all live sessions (with the exception of some coaching sessions from time to time due to the confidential nature of some of these calls). For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no refunds available for any missed sessions.
What if I need additional support?
Additional support can be offered to each member in the form of 1:1 support or guidance. We are happy to support you as required, please contact us directly, additional charges will apply.
What if I am ill during the Membership?
If you are ill or unable to attend a live session for any reason you will be able to watch the recording of that session. If you are ill for an extended period (beyond the experience of chronic pain), please let us know and we will support you wherever we can.
Is the Membership suitable for everyone?
The Membership is best suited to those who live with chronic pain and who are ready to learn about chronic pain, receive support, take actionable steps and support others. In essence, this membership space is about learning, growing and doing together inside an online community. It is not for those who are not yet contemplating or ready to make any sort of change in their relationship with pain beyond the medications, and procedures.
