Allison Ray Benavides

Living with chronic physical pain & illness? Then you know it’s not just physical—it’s emotional, mental, relational & spiritual. It takes over your life, makes choices for you. You push through with a sense of urgency. Notice stress makes it worse & don't talk about it. You stay home, are exhausted & afraid it won't ever get better. The life you had is gone & you don't know how to get it back.

This is where I'm your girl. I know how to get more than symptom relief—recovery is possible & you can get your life back. My methods are targeted, simple & work. They're easy to learn & make a part of how you take care of yourself.

My approach is holistic & creative, pulling from my experience as a medical social worker & my love for various wisdom traditions. I include both research-based & complementary methods. I'm certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, trained in EMDR, & use Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, CBT, & EFT ("Tapping"). My approach is intimately informed by Reiki, Jungian Psychology, Dream Tending, Yoga & Wise Woman Healing. I love poetry, nature & art.

I could be a really good fit if you cope with chronic pain - physical or emotional. I have a heart-centered, empathetic, & targeted approach to healing. Together we'll collaborate to explore & identify exactly what hurts. I'll share alternative perspectives & simple, effective tools you can use to ease any pain, regardless of its source. You'll learn ways to tend your inner experience -- creating a safer, kinder, more compassionate way of being yourself. To learn more, visit www.goldenpathoshealing.com or book here now :)
