10 Weeks to a Life Beyond Pain

What would your life look like if pain wasn’t the central character anymore?

What would your life look like if pain wasn’t the central character anymore?

Not something you manage.
Not something you tiptoe around.
Not something that dictates your energy, plans, or identity.

The Path to Freedom is a 10-week, trauma-informed healing experience designed to help you resolve persistent or chronic pain by addressing its unconscious roots — not just the symptoms.

This is not pain management.
This is pain resolution.

Why Pain Persists (Even When Tests Are “Normal”)

Many people with chronic or recurring pain have:

  • Seen multiple specialists

  • Tried physical therapy, medications, supplements, or procedures

  • Been told “nothing is wrong” — or “you’ll have to live with it”

And yet, the pain remains.

That’s because not all pain is structural.

Modern neuroscience shows that persistent pain is often maintained by the nervous system — shaped by stress, trauma, emotional suppression, and learned threat responses.

The Path to Freedom works by helping you retrain and reprocess pain at the neurological, emotional, and energetic levels, where lasting change actually happens.

Our Approach

This program integrates multiple evidence-informed and experiential modalities, including:

Neuroscience-based pain reprocessing

Trauma-informed coaching

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Emotional Awareness & Expression

Ancient Hawaiian Huna energy work

Nervous system regulation practices

This is a root-cause approach, not a surface-level mindset shift.

What You’ll Receive

Unlike traditional pain management, this program requires:

8 Pre-Recorded Core Modules

Structured education and guided practices you can move through at your own pace.

10 Weekly Live Group Q&A Calls

Direct access to expert guidance, support, and real-time integration.

Personal Weekly Check-Ins

Direct access to expert guidance, support, and real-time integration.

The Transformation You Can Expect

Participants commonly experience:

  • A significant reduction in pain intensity and frequency

  • The end of the “flare-up → fear → frustration” cycle

  • Renewed trust in their body

  • Freedom to move, plan, travel, work, and connect again

  • A return to confidence, energy, and agency

This is about becoming the version of yourself that isn’t defined by pain anymore.

Your Energy Expert

Integrative Coach | Energy Worker | Mind-Body Healing Consultant
Co-Creator of Path to Freedom

Jocelyn Birkhimer is a coach, consultant, and energy worker who helps ambitious professionals heal from chronic pain and stress-related conditions so they can reclaim their energy, productivity, and joy—while scaling their impact. She brings an integrative and deeply personal approach, rooted in her own journey of healing chronic pain, PTSD, and emotional overwhelm.

From a young age, Jocelyn was told she'd have to live with scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic back, hip, and knee pain. She experienced debilitating symptoms for over a decade—and eventually overcame them all using the same tools she now teaches. Her healing journey led her to master techniques from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Ancient Hawaiian Huna, yoga, breathwork, trauma-informed coaching, and emotional release.

Today, Jocelyn empowers others to stop managing symptoms and start truly healing—so they can serve with purpose, show up for their families, and fully enjoy their lives. She works especially well with purpose-driven people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by physical or emotional pain and are ready to shift into full alignment and freedom.

She is the co-creator of Path to Freedom, a neuroscience-based program that teaches professionals how to heal persistent pain by reprocessing it—emotionally, neurologically, and energetically.

Mia Khalil, MA

Your Mind-Body Expert & Coach

Integrative Coach | Pain Reprocessing Specialist | Mind-Body Educator

Co-Creator of Path to Freedom

After living with chronic pain for 7 years and undergoing two surgeries, Mia Khalil was told by doctors she’d never run, lift weights, or be pain-free again. But just two days after discovering a neuroscience-based approach, everything changed: her pain was gone—and has never returned.

Mia is a leading educator in mind-body healing and chronic pain recovery, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy (EAET), nervous system education, and over a decade of lived experience. Her work is rooted in the latest science that shows pain can be unlearned—and healing is possible, even when MRI scans look “damaged " or " abnormal”.

Originally from Lebanon, Mia grew up during wartime and endured trauma that shaped her early nervous system. Later, while raising children alone in a new country and surviving years of emotional and financial stress, her body gave out. Her healing journey began with the teachings of Dr. John Sarno and evolved into a passionate mission to help others heal what doctors told her was “permanent.”

Mia is now living proof that pain is not always what it seems. She’s helped hundreds of clients retrain their brains, release emotional blocks, and reclaim lives they thought they had lost forever.

She is the co-creator of Path to Freedom, a 10-week healing experience designed to help people understand, rewire, and resolve chronic or persistent pain—naturally, safely, and permanently.
