It's the Pain Talking
In this podcast, I am going to sit down with health professionals, psychologists, yoga teachers and yoga therapists to learn more about their research and their approach in their work on pain as well as other chronic health/mental health conditions. I am interested in learning about pain, how pain becomes chronic, and how yoga and psychology can help in managing chronic health and mental health conditions.

Dr. Heather Martarella is an expert on helping clients reclaim their lives and find relief from chronic pain and insomnia/sleep issues. Dr. Martarella became passionate about specializing in chronic pain after experiencing her own physical injury in 2012, which left her with chronic pain for years.

- Sleep and insomnia
- Conditioning and brain associations

- Sensitisation or priming of the nervous system
