Why I Saw Your Healing Journey Needed to Transform

In 2020, I noticed a really big gap in helping people heal from chronic pain; even though 1 out of 5 people in the world have chronic pain … most of them have frustratingly ineffective care in the conventional medical world.

What is actually needed for people to not just manage their pain but HEAL their chronic conditions was NOT being widely shared.

Maybe you’ve noticed some of this: medication, injections, surgeries, endless exercises/stretches, short-term improvements with things like massage, acupuncture … but nothing truly helping people break free of a life dictated by pain. 

“Pain management” companies sell pillows, TENS units, positioners, glamorizing the idea of how THIS is the thing you HAVE to try to magically fix your pain, your sleep, etc. But time and time again, they fail.

This mindset is completely backwards and the mind-blowing failure of it is what made me take a deep dive into the research of what actually IS effective pain care. 

True Healing and Transformation Comes From Your Own Body:

In fact, since finally uncovering a LOT about healing pain, my philosophy and approach to healing is the exact opposite: it isn’t in the hands of OTHER people (yes, even though a massage feels good …) or the dependence on someone ELSE fixing you or giving you something. True effective approach to healing involves tapping into YOUR body’s wisdom and healing superpowers. 

I started out working with Veterans I saw at the local VA hospital that had complex chronic pain conditions and applying the concepts of integrative whole-person, mind-body healing and nervous system work. I threw out the generic exercises that I was taught in PT school that were SUPPOSED to help with many pain conditions.

And it was such a game changer. I had people starting to transform their lives after decades and decades of pain … because I truly started to SEE past WHERE they hurt and started helping them heal all the WHYs they hurt.
Today, my full focus is helping women heal from pain in a real comprehensive way – physically, psychologically, emotionally. 

My mission is simple:

Show women how to tap into their mind AND body’s internal wisdom to deeply heal pain and see lasting results in EVERY aspect of their lives, helping them become fearlessly active again.

I believe true healing from chronic pain extends beyond pain relief – yes, it is about FREEDOM from pain AND it is about RECLAIMING lives and nurturing and living with our authentic selves.

Testimonials

  • Anyone who has dealt with chronic pain and health issues knows all too well the utter desperation of looking for some real and lasting help.

    It took me years to realize that I had the power to affect my pain levels and that my path to healing could be within me.

    I struggled to find a program that I could relate to, that was understandable, and doable.

    Dr. Tawny’s program is just the right mix. It has a lot of substance. Tawny is able to expertly explain the very real science behind pain and the nervous system in a very relatable way. This is not magic or wishful thinking. It is science! Dr. Tawny’s PT background gives her first hand knowledge of how the body works. She also has seen where people fail. Her program seems built on the science as well as her first hand experience. Dr. Tawny chunks the program into bit sized pieces that each build on the others. Dr. Tawny is so incredibly supportive and has a “I will not let you fail” attitude (even as real life is happening all around with the pitfalls of resistance, overwhelm, and time constraints!)

    I found the weekly classes so interesting, informative, and inspiring! I loved the interaction with others. I had a sense of accountability. It is not a buy the program and do it on your own. Dr. Tawny, in her bright and wise way is right there.

    I love how Dr. Tawny has adopted the best of many Trail Blazers work and built the work into the best of all!

    It is clear that Dr. Tawny is in it for the success of her clients.

    -Amy K.

  • I have been working with Dr. Tawny for a while now and I couldn’t speak more highly of an individual.

    I have dealt with chronic pain off and on for over 20 years, but more specifically debilitating chronic headaches that came on after losing my mom.

    Since working with her I have been able to get back into the gym, now lifting weights 4-5X a week, I am learning who I am outside of chronic pain, slowly getting back to the things that bring me joy and learning to not edit my life due to the pain.

    We have done a lot of work around my different childhood traumas that has been more impactful than most of my other therapy. She is brilliant at what she does and I am so grateful to have found her.

  • Dr. Kross is hands down one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Inspiring does not seem adequate enough to describe her passion for helping people heal…. her knowledge is matched by her compassion and sensitivity to where you are coming from.

    When working with her for some hip and back pain, she explained to me why what we were working on was important, described what was happening in my body, encouraged me, and was always patient with me when I didn’t hold up my end of the deal.

    And then bam! Hip and back pain were in the rearview mirror. She is not your average medical provider. She cares about you as a person and will take the time you need to help you get where you want to go.

    You must work with Dr. Kross. You absolutely won’t regret it!

  • From 2020 into 2021, I was struggling with pain in my back and right glute muscles. I was using a walker to move around the house.

    I was on opioids for pain management and had been through several physical therapy programs, none of which provided me any pain relief. My family said, “I wasn’t myself.”

    Under Tawny’s coaching, I went from only being able to walk with a walker to using a cane to walking without any assistance.

    And, I am no longer taking any pain medication. Thank you, Tawny, for the caring assistance you provided me.
