What Is Empowered Relief®?

Empowered Relief® is a 2-hour virtual seminar led by Dr. Chiara Mariani that teaches you how to train your brain and nervous system to better manage pain and improve your quality of life.

Developed by pain psychology experts at Stanford University, this program is grounded in research and has been shown to significantly improve pain intensity, stress, and overall function.

How It Works

Pain is not just physical—it is processed in the brain and influenced by stress, emotions, and thought patterns.

This seminar helps you understand:

  • How your brain processes pain
  • How stress and emotions can amplify pain
  • How to shift your body from a pain response to a relaxation response

Most importantly, you’ll learn simple, effective techniques you can use immediately.

What You’ll Learn

During the Empowered Relief® seminar, you’ll be guided through three key skills:

Relaxation Response – Calm your nervous system and reduce pain signals

Thought Reframing – Shift negative thought patterns into supportive, calming ones

Self-Soothing Techniques – Use simple, everyday actions to bring your body back to balance

Create Your Personalized Pain Relief Plan

This isn’t just education—it’s action.

You’ll leave the seminar with a personalized plan that fits your life, helping you:

  • Build consistent habits
  • Reduce pain intensity
  • Improve your sense of control
  • Support long-term relief
