Liberating people
To suffer less is my calling
For almost 30 years, I suffered from chronic pain, including leg and knee pain, severe back and neck issues, migraines, and more. For years, I often couldn’t walk for more than 10 minutes a day. I ran from doctor to doctor without answers, relief, or feeling understood. I hit rock bottom. You know what’s great about hitting rock bottom, there’s only one way left to go, and that’s up. My non-negotiable commitment to putting joy first, dance training, and modern pain science saved me. I am proof that it is possible to live a meaningful, joy-filled life despite trauma, decades of chronic pain, and profound life challenges. Today, joy is still my most important medicine. My life is not perfect. However, I am very active. I laugh a lot, work a lot, curse, and exercise for 7 to 10 hours every week. I dance, bike, do fitness workouts and Pilates, meditate, practice yoga, and jump with great joy.
Whatever you have experienced, there is always hope. There is always a new open door. A chance to free yourself from feeling trapped in an invisible cage and discover incredible strength and joy on a deep nervous system level.
Together, we will explore your path toward relief and reconnection.
I offer compassionate support for chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and other chronic conditions.
I would like to warmly welcome you to my private practice.
Hello, I'm Jeanine,
and I'm so glad you're here.
I am an Integrative Mental Health Practitioner with an academic background in Psychology (MSc) and certified in Trauma Recovery (IAOTRC).
My advanced training includes:
- Advanced Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
- Level 3 Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS Institute, USA)
- Brain-Based & Somatic Coaching
- Polyvagal Integration (PVT) & Regulation Strategies
I help you understand your inner world and the brain–body connection, while guiding you to communicate safely with an outer world that often doesn’t understand what you’re going through.
I offer online sessions worldwide across all time zones, helping clients break the cycle of feeling alone or isolated in this process.
Passionate about holistic mental health and education, I look forward to sharing more about my journey and expertise below.
It hurts.
your pain is terrible.
If you’re here, you might be feeling exhausted, in pain, or stuck. You’ve likely browsed through many webpages and sought various medical or alternative treatments. Feeling confused, depressed, and frustrated by past results is understandable. Skepticism about new therapies is natural. I hear you. I see you. I believe you. And I’m here to help you step into your power to Self-heal.
You Are Not Alone – I Have Been There
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. You’re in good hands. I truly understand how you feel right now, reading this. Alongside chronic pain & heavy migraines, I’ve experienced undermining, decades of stored childhood trauma, and the challenge of staying true to myself with constant overwork. And now I’m here, living proof that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You, too, can break the cycle of physical and emotional pain.
Allow me to introduce you to a whole new way of healing and growing, starting with Mind-Body Medicine
and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).
Emerging neuroscience tells us that our brains actually create what we experience in our bodies.
Mind Body Medicine for the 21st Century
Many chronic conditions result from the nervous system signaling, rather than physical damage. Evidence-based treatments can finally regain your good health.
Promising News: New Scientific Advancements for Chronic Pain and Medically Unexplained Symptoms
Progress in neuroplasticity and mind-body medicine offer help in treating chronic pain and many other medically unexplained symptoms, including Long COVID, chronic fatigue, pelvic pain, migraines, anxiety, and depression. For a complete list of conditions, see the menu. If you’ve consulted multiple clinicians without finding relief, this approach might be for you. These issues are widespread; an estimated 40% of all primary care visits involve medically unexplained symptoms.
Understanding Neuroplastic Pain
Recent studies reveal that chronic back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, repetitive strain injury, headaches, and other forms of pain often stem from brain-body processes, not structural causes. This is known as neuroplastic pain, and the symptoms are very real. Fortunately, these psychophysiological processes can be reversed, offering new hope for sufferers. For detailed information and empirical evidence, please visit The Science section in the menu.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
A key method in Mind-Body Medicine is Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).You can find more details on its use under METHOD 1 in the menu.

"Transformative Journey
with Jeanine's Pain Reprocessing Therapy Sessions.
Jeanine has been my light for several months now. In that time, she has led me through an extraordinary metamorphosis. With unwavering clarity, boundless wisdom, and a heart overflowing with compassion, Jeanine has masterfully navigated each session, leaving me in awe of her unparalleled expertise. Her nurturing presence creates a sanctuary where I feel deeply cherished and understood with every encounter. I wholeheartedly endorse Jeanine and am indebted to her for the profound transformation she has facilitated in my life. A glowing testament to her brilliance and the invaluable impact of her work!"
Introducing Fundamental Methods
I've had the darkest of days, feeling judged, alone and isolated. It can spiral, fast. And it can be easy to put a face on it. To seem 'fine’. To mask it.
I learned methods and approaches that help. You can find them under METHODS in the menu.
BEYOND TALK THERAPY
Modern Approaches in Therapy and Coaching
Modern therapy and coaching provide a safe environment where you can explore practical self-regulation techniques, trauma-informed somatic practices, mind-body interventions, Self-leadership skills, and genuine empowerment for transformation. Unlike traditional methods, modern approaches are holistic, integrating various modalities. Your past is not your life sentence. No matter what's happened, you can find joy and meaning now and in the future. Let's create your new pathway together.
What I bring to the Table
- 30 Years of Experience: Bringing an extensive background in the field.
- Ongoing Learning: Committed to continuous growth.
- I See You: An ability to see the client for what she is capable of living, despite her pain, stories, and beliefs.
Sometimes, the first step to healing starts with sharing your story.
Let’s connect and get your journey started!

I build and lead global communities of female leaders across diverse industries, promoting Internal Family Systems (IFS)-based Self-Leadership and supervision for leaders. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, mental well-being, systemic care, and transformation—with deep respect for personal and cultural contexts.

Tanja, Founder & Managing Director and Lewis Hermanns, School Student, Germany
"Working with Jeanine
has completely changed Lewis' and my life! My son suffered two terrible strokes of fate in his early years.
First, his grandfather, to whom he was very attached, passed away. Just six months later, his stepfather hanged himself in our house. At the age of 9, this was too much for him to handle. His fear of loss became so pronounced in the years that followed that he eventually could not go to school, stay home alone, or go out on his own. Falling asleep alone also became impossible for him. This was compounded by panic attacks, and after the onset of COVID-19, he could no longer attend school at all. After many therapy sessions, which had little to no effect, Jeanine and I crossed paths. There are no coincidences! It was the best thing that could have happened to us.
Lewis very quickly came to trust Jeanine and her approach. With her warm, loving, yet competent and professional manner, Jeanine creates a space where you can open up and talk about all your feelings! Her profound knowledge of depth psychology is amazing, and with her incredible intuition, she reads you like an open book - it's magical. Lewis didn't need to explain himself; with a few right questions, she knew exactly what to do. This helped Lewis gain a different perspective very quickly, and I saw incredible results almost immediately. Jeanine and Lewis stayed connected; even between appointments, Lewis never felt lost.
After just 10 hours of intensive work, Lewis was a changed person. As a mother who was completely desperate, powerless, and exhausted, it was magical to see how quickly Jeanine managed to heal Lewis from the inside out, slowly but steadily!
Jeanine's approach is holistic; she doesn't just focus on the identified problem but looks at you as a whole person with an individual story that has shaped you. This has made Lewis the person he is today. Today, after less than a year, Lewis, now 16, is a completely different person. He goes to school regularly - Jeanine has played an incredibly big part in this too - he meets up with friends, stays home alone, and no longer has any fears at all! A completely "normal" adolescent! We are currently taking a break, but we know that Jeanine is always there when we need her! We have never experienced this level of support in all these years!
We are incredibly grateful to Jeanine and can only recommend her from the bottom of our hearts ♥️.“
Leo, Student 16, Munich, Germany (After recovering from chronic fatigue)
"Hey Jeanine.
I just wanted to let you know that I’m now doing online schooling, going to the gym every day, and feeling a lot better. I’m not exactly sure how, but I have a feeling you had something to do with it 
. Just wanted to say thanks.“
