Description

Lara Birk's journey through years of chronic pain has led her to become a powerful voice in the field of mindbody medicine, particularly for those living with both structural and neuroplastic issues. Drawing from her own experience, she helps people with persistent pain find hope, relief, and a fuller life. In this moving conversation with Christie Uipi, LCSW, she invites us to expand our definition of healing and imagine new narratives of what's possible.
