Find Relief from Chronic Pain
and Reclaim Your Life
Chronic pain can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define your life. Real relief is possible when you understand and address pain where it truly begins—in your brain
Is Chronic Pain Controlling Your Life?
Living with chronic pain is exhausting.
Whether it stems from an injury or an ongoing condition, it can overshadow every aspect of your daily life, making it hard to focus on anything else.
You have probably tried countless treatments—medications, physical therapy, even surgery—without lasting relief. I want you to know that you’re not alone.
Millions of people share your struggle. According to the CDC, over 20 percent of Americans experience some form of chronic pain, from migraines to fibromyalgia to joint pain. Many have tried various treatments, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of discomfort and frustration, losing hope that life without pain is possible.
But there is hope.
A New Perspective on Treating Pain
Traditional treatments often focus solely on the physical aspects of pain, overlooking a critical factor—the role of the brain.
Pain isn’t just a physical sensation; it’s shaped by neural pathways in your brain. Sometimes, these pathways can become altered, causing your brain to misinterpret normal bodily signals as pain.
This cycle can continue indefinitely, perpetuating chronic pain. To truly break free, it’s essential to address the mind-body connection and tackle the root cause of your pain—how your brain processes it.
Introducing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
PRT is an innovative approach that helps your brain reinterpret pain signals, shifting fear, frustration, and other negative emotions to a state of calm and relief. By rewiring these neural pathways, PRT can diminish—and even eliminate—chronic pain, allowing you to regain control over your life and return to the activities you love.
This therapy isn’t just new; it’s proven. In clinical trials, 98% of participants reported improvements in their pain, with 66% becoming pain-free or nearly pain-free by the end of their treatment.
A Framework for Lasting Relief
The Calm Your Brain, Heal Your Pain course is designed to help you:

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Annie Miller, a licensed therapist and the owner of DC Metro Therapy.
With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping people overcome chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and trauma.
I know how isolating chronic pain can be—because I’ve been there myself. During my own struggles with pain, I felt unheard and uncertain about the future. But through learning about the mind-body connection and applying these principles to my own life, I was able to heal. Now, I’m passionate about helping others find the same relief.
My mission now is to help as many chronic pain and illness sufferers as possible ease — and potentially alleviate — their pain.
Thanks to my personal experience, plus the range of therapies I use with my clients that address the mind-body connection we have with pain, I’ve developed a framework that is not only effective, evidence-based, and clinically proven but is easy to implement on your own.
If you’re ready to explore a new approach to managing your pain, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
