Hi, I’m Mike Williams. I’m a Pain Reprocessing Therapist, Hakomi Practitioner and Rolfer. My home base is in Austin TX, and my practice has been located here and worldwide via Zoom since 2008.
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. This is what I do:
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a research-proven method that uses mindfulness techniques to help your brain better understand normal signals from your body, reducing chronic pain.
New discoveries in neuroscience show that most chronic pain isn't caused by physical issues, but by the brain misinterpreting harmless signals as dangerous.
By training your brain to recognize these signals as safe, PRT can lessen pain, decrease its impact, and empower you to regain control over your life.
Mind-Body Coaching integrates Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology and mindfulness practices to help you build a holistic body-mind-spirit skill set to up-level your life and address challenges such as chronic pain resolution, finding an authentic career path, and developing emotional intelligence.
Together, we explore the interconnectedness of your body, mind, and emotions, uncovering habits that may keep you stuck. We’ll work to uncover the strengths in these habits and build new, higher-level tools, empowering you to develop new ways of living with greater awareness and ease.
Rolfing + Mindful Movement combines hands-on therapy, self-awareness practices, and movement education to ease pain and improve mobility.
We unravel patterns from injuries, habits, and more, fostering balance and ease in your body.
Together, we focus on developing awareness of how you use your body day-to-day and creating optimal movement patterns for lasting relief and transformation.
So you've tried Somatic Tracking for your chronic pain a bit but it doesn't seem to be working. You're feeling frustrated; impatient even. What's the deal? Does it not work? Is PRT a bad fit for you? Nope. That's not it. Somatic Tracking is a great practice for creating safety in our nervous systems around pain sensations. And, for most people it offers only one dimension of the healing process and is not a complete solution. When my clients stall out on pain relief from using that mindfulness practice alone, I know very clearly that it's time to go deeper and begin addressing the belief and emotional realms too.
