Empowered Relief® is an evidence-based, single-session pain class that rapidly equips patients with effective pain management skills.

The Empowered Relief line of science includes published evidence from four randomized controlled trials conducted at Stanford University School of Medicine involving patients with chronic pain and patients undergoing different types of surgery. All four trials have yielded clinically meaningful results and durable efficacy. Multidimensional benefits across a range of symptoms suggest that Empowered Relief is an all-purpose intervention for people with acute and chronic pain.

FAQs

  • You can pay through the website (click the register here button. You can also email me with your name and send $125 to naomi@drnaomiedelson.com on Zelle or @Naomi-Edelson on Venmo. Please contact me about my need-based sliding scale. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

  • Life happens, I get it. If you’re unable to make the class I’m happy to refund your money (less $20 for credit card processing fees) up until one week before class (November 1.) If you prefer to email me directly and pay via Zelle, I will refund the full amount up until November 1.

  • Empowered Relief is more of a class than a group. It’s pretty didactic in nature. There is a lot on information to get through; that being said, I love questions and class involvement!

  • Don’t worry - sign up for the waitlist! The next class will hopefully be January 2024 - TBD.
