Guest Name: Anna Holtzman

Anna Holtzman is a Chronic Pain Recovery Therapist and Coach. For years she struggled with chronic pain (migraines) and as the pain kept getting bigger, she felt her life getting smaller. Since learning the mind-body method and getting her life back from chronic pain, Anna has made it her mission to help others get their lives back too!

Anna has been supporting clients since 2016, first as a coach and then as a therapist and group facilitator. In addition to her independent practice, Anna facilitates chronic pain recovery groups for Curable Groups.

This is a One Mission Podcast.

Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood – we help them get it back through
programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive
distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday
celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive
hospital parking, we make life brighter for children and their families
from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
