Moselle’s recovery from chronic pain, brain fog, dizziness, weakness and anxiety
“I had doubt it wouldn’t work, because nothing had worked… when you’ve had these symptoms for a long time they start to become normal. The acceptance that they don’t have to be normal can be difficult.
Being able to have surety in what was going on in my body was a really big deal, and being able to have an end.
I realized while doing a meditation that I didn’t fear my own body… but I hadn’t realized that i had so much fear about just existing in my body. Which is crazy, because that is living. Being able to feel like I was safe within myself was really huge…
I’ll get to go through all the things that one goes through in life, but I’ll be able to do so without being constantly anxious or in pain. I now know that there is an end.”
Kyle’s recovery from Chronic Fatigue
“I am now at 100%. I was kind of shocked. It is durable. It is not a transitory flicker. I’m looking ahead to the future now that feels like an open vista.”
Samantha’s recovery from chronic pain, sciatica and IBS with Isabel
“Because I knew it was neuroscience based I had some hope, but I definitely had my doubts. Because for [15 years] nothing else worked.
But with this work, my relationship with my body and my mind is I would say completely healed. It is completely life changing. I understand my brain in a completely different way now. I feel free to do the things I always wanted to do and feel safety and joy. The freedom from being free from constant pain is so fun. Life is so fun now. It’s very empowering and gives you a lot of autonomy over every area of your life.”

“By the end of about 8 weeks I was 90-95% pain free. I went on another long hike and had a few flare ups. I had the tools to identify the things going on in my life that were sending the signals to my feet.
I am so thankful for learning about neuroplastic pain and learning about the power of my mind. I encourage you to explore this model. You have nothing to lose, except your pain.”
Joel’s journey with Overcoming IBS and health OCD
“It’s very easy to quit along the journey, but just by having the resilience to really stick with it and the trust in the process… you can achieve life changing results. I’m very grateful and very thankful… especially to Rebecca and her team, they’ve been absolutely brilliant and a real milestone in my journey to being pain free and symptom free.”

Resolving back pain with Nida
“It’s super exciting to me. The pain has basically gone away.”
‘I have been struggling with Long Covid for a long time and to be frank I was getting depressed and feeling hopeless with everyone saying they were sorry but there is no treatment or the medical community does not know enough about Covid yet. Then my GP referred me to Dr. Kennedy and the Covid Clinic! What a difference it has made in my life, the skills I have learned have helped me so much. Dr. Kennedy is warm, kind, understanding and her approach works. After the first appointment and the group session I had hope for the first time. When things get rough I go back to what I have learned, it helps greatly. If you have Long Covid please give this your attention, you will not be disappointed.’
C.T. Portland, OR
“My life had become increasingly smaller. After two emergency visits for acute pain; the ongoing pain in my low-back, mid-back and neck, dictated everything I did, fear of exacerbating the pain narrowed my world to essentials of daily life. Multiple tests, specialists and interventions provided temporary relief but nothing that was dependable or would last. When I was finally referred to Dr. Kennedy, I was hopeful but not convinced she would have “answers.” What I learned from her has changed my life. What I learned was that the chronic pain I was experiencing was a mis-firing of pain messages from my brain, triggered by fear and decades old programming not to trust my body, not to trust life. It wasn’t an overnight fix. It’s taken time to incorporate new messages into my body, new skills into my daily life, it was slow and there were set-backs, but overtime my life has expanded, the pain has eased, and at almost eight decades, my life has become fuller and more satisfying than I knew was possible. I continue to practice the skills I’ve learned, sharing them with friends and family. I occasionally still have pain but I know how to embrace it, manage it, and not let it take over. Thank you Dr. K….you have changed my life.”
H.S. Portland, OR
I feel incredibly lucky that I found Dr. Kennedy. Her knowledge of how pain works in the body and her ability to relay that information in a thoughtful way made a significant change in my life. Living with chronic pain is devastating and I felt fairly defeated by the lack of relief from my orthopedic doctor and physical therapist. The techniques that Dr. Kennedy shared with me completely changed my understanding of how pain works. It’s a rare occurrence to find a doctor that really listens with understanding and empathy. It feels so true that knowledge is power and Dr. Kennedy is sharing knowledge.
S.C. Los Angeles, CA
“Working with Dr. Kennedy has made an incredible difference in my recovery from Long Covid. After my appointments with Dr. Kennedy, as well as taking her classes, my symptoms and pain are so much better! They are no longer ‘making me sick’. The information I’ve learned from Dr. Kennedy enables me to understand what I’ve experienced in my body. She gently and clearly presents concrete activities and tools to facilitate healing. I highly recommend Resilience Health Care. It has changed my life!”
Teresa Z.
“Working with Dr. Kennedy has been truly life changing! It took me 9 years to find her and in one session she flipped everything around, gave me the tools I need to recover, and helped me make connections between chronic pain and suppressed emotions in a way no course, book, or program has ever done for me. It’s difficult to put into words, but I’ve spent years wishing there were doctors out there who understood not only my condition, but how to actually rewire my brain and fully recover. And here she is! Her compassion, understanding, and empathy, in combination with extensive experience and knowledge of Mind Body Syndrome/TMS, gave me instant peace of mind and that gut feeling I get when I know without a shadow of a doubt I’m on the right path. If you have chronic pain, lyme, chronic fatigue, IBS, or any number of ongoing medical challenges, please don’t hesitate to reach out to her! It is the best thing you can do for yourself, and the fastest path towards healing. I only wish I’d known about her, Dr. Schubiner, and the Curable app years ago! Whatever your path is towards healing, I wish you all the best.”

“Resilience Health Care AKA Dr. Kennedy, is amazing. The Emotional Expression course was packed full of great information to help me combat my chronic fatigue, dizziness, and fogged brain symptoms. I was lost, floundering and suffering, I had a hunch my symptoms were not issues that needed medical treatment because I spent $$$$ on tests and tests and all the Doctors just shrugged their shoulders and pointed me to other specialists. Then I found Dr K’s you tube videos (subscribe) by doing long haul covid searches, and it was as if those videos were me!! I then connected with her via her website, and she hooked me up with the Emotional Expression class and helped me build my evidence for Neuroplastic symptoms. Dr K is kind, committed, knowledgeable and great to work with…My symptoms overall are better, not gone, I am still recovering, but I am 100% confident I will fully recover.”
George R. Alabama
“I got pieces of my life back that I thought were lost forever. Dr. Kennedy and her program listened to what I was saying and heard me. I have hope for my future recovery which is not something I could have said a year ago.”
Amy Stashek Portland, OR
This course was life changing! I wish I could tell everyone suffering right now that there is hope. I was terrified for years with mysterious symptoms that worsened after I got Covid and I thought that this was the end of my life. I couldn’t get out of bed. I had vertigo and a dozen other symptoms. Dr Kennedy’s class made me feel better almost instantly. She was so caring and supportive, and always available to answer my questions which made me trust her and what she was saying even more. I highly recommend this class and feel like less people would suffer if they took it.

I loved the class, the information provided in such a Supportive and compassionate way by Becca. We can all tell that she is passionate about this information and getting it out to all of us who have been suffering for so long. She really wants to help us get better in a truly positive way. We are all so grateful for the work she is doing!!! I knew when I listened to Raelyn Agle interviewing Dr. Becca Kennedy, that this was the missing piece to my four year struggle. I believed that my healing had to do with misinformation that my brain was getting and that my brain was ” stuck in a cycle”. I just didn’t know how to get my brain unstuck, until I took Becca’s class. The information is so clear and straightforward. I am able to practice the tools everyday, knowing that the healing journey is not linear and not beating myself up when symptoms flare. Talking to my brain consistently to change what my subconscious has gotten stuck believing because my nervous system was in such a heightened state of fear and alarm for so long when I was sick. It was never able to turn off. I always knew that but didn’t know what to do, until now. The concepts that Becca teaches are so easy but it’s also the most challenging thing I’ve done in my life. The positive takeaways for me are Consistent messages of safety, I’m not sick or broken, movement is not dangerous, finding JOY!!!! (Hugely impactful) I cant emphasize all of those things enough. I’m getting there day by day. I have 100% hope that this will be the key for me to total recovery. I wake up excited. I’m so thankful and grateful to Becca!

“Dr. Kennedy was enormously helpful in helping me pinpoint all of the areas where little fears were still remaining even after years of mind-body interventions-she listened adeptly to my timeline and story, assured me that over-spending on fancy products for health interventions would be unnecessary as opposed to regular blood, thyroid, cancer, anemia, electrolyte and apnea screenings for my long COVID. She clarified small points of things I needed to continue with, and emphasized small paradigm shifts (such as how to approach a healthier diet without creating more or feeding tms). Her openness made me feel she was authentic and based in reality-and her willingness to listen and respond showed me she was not trying to merely look for ways to prove her own viewpoints but rooted in a mode of thought and behavior that is flexible, realistic, and adaptable. I felt she was showing up for me as a whole person instead of seeing me in pieces and parts according to specialization (but her experience as a physician for 25 years showed and gave me confidence in her). I would recommend Dr. Kennedy strongly to anyone struggling/wondering/stuck on the treadmill of ‘is this tms/mbs or not?”
M.T. Portland, Oregon
I had heard how Dr. Sarno’s work could help and read the books, but I just couldn’t figure out how to apply it my healing from Long COVID. I had tried two different brain training programs before but they only offered short term results. This course has given me the knowledge, practical strategies, confidence and results to know I am well on my way to healing and that I can handle common obstacles as they come.
Andrea, Vancouver, Canada
After 10 years of having had ME/CFS I am incredible grateful and relieved to have found this course. After only a few months of the classes and support group I am feeling already much improved and I am finally hopeful that I will recover.

When I first approached Becca, I had been struggling over the previous year with Long COVID, with symptoms including POTS, stomach issues, anxiety, the list goes on. Although I was pushing through and was implementing all of the right things (diets, relaxation exercises, medications, etc.), I felt as though I had plateaued and wasn’t seeing much improvement. I was having major symptoms daily and even going out to the shop or to lectures would fill me with anxiety and leave me exhausted. I booked in with Becca and after a couple of sessions and some homework, I felt something had shifted and I started to feel like myself again. Some symptoms had completely disappeared and I became less fearful of others. I’m in nursing school and have been able to continue with my studies, even managing to do 13-hour long shifts in the hospital, which I didn’t think was possible! Becca is beyond empathetic and professional and I hope that more practitioners like her begin to surface, what she does is special. My relationship with myself and how I handle my emotions has changed and I’m finally starting to get my life back, which I’m so grateful to her for.
Caoibhe Raghallaigh, Dublin Ireland.
“Taking the long covid class with Becca has been a turning point in my recovery. My condition has improved more significantly in the last two moths since starting the class than it did in the previous 16 months since getting sick, and I know it will continue to improve. With the body-mind paradigm, I am finally able to make sense of what is going on in my body and my nervous system. The class gave me the tools and the roadmap to follow to get better, and wow, it works! And on top of that, Becca is a wonderful and teacher that keeps things simple, clear and thorough. Thank you so much 😊”
Stéphanie Duguay, Québec, Canada
“I want to reassure other folks as I had doubts starting that recovery is possible and if there was something inherently wrong with me. Reminder for me and others “You are not broken, you are a whole, lovable and safe human and you deserve to be well”
Francesca M.
“This course is definitely worth it! You can see a lot of improvement quite quickly once you understand how it works and then you will have the tools to eventually recover over time.”
Megan Eustace, New Zealand.
“I am so glad I found Rebecca Kennedy, after 10 years of ME/CFS and spending thousands of pounds on specialists, supplements, holistic treatments and brain retraining courses, I finally found the right course and the roadmap to recovery.”
VR, Wiltshire, UK
“In our very first meeting, Becca told me one word in the midst of our conversation that just clicked, and made me reflect about what in my life journey triggered my weird symptoms the past few years. Magically and unexpectedly, it was just a few weeks that I FINALLY found relief from what I “assumed” was a “chronic” condition I would have to endure forever. Grateful and thankful 🤍”
Cairo, Egypt
“I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for three years and have researched numerous approaches. Nothing worked or seemed to fit. This was the first approach whereby I thought this makes complete sense. The design, content, delivery and communication of this programme was excellent. Becca as a medical professional has been incredibly progressive to upskill herself in this approach and to share it with others around the world. Becca is so generous with her knowledge and time. I am so grateful that I came across this programme and have started to see some changes already.”
Ellen, Ireland
“I am gaining control of my allergy symptoms and fibromyalgia pain and fatigue progressively through what I have learned in Dr Becca’s course. I now understand the science of symptom creation in my body and how I can alleviate them myself by discovering and safely processing and releasing my false core self beliefs, and calming my nervous system. For the first time in nearly 30 years I feel empowered to heal myself and I feel supported by a doctor who understands and believes in me. I believe Dr Becca to be utterly generous with her knowledge and compassionate towards all people. I am so grateful to be connected with you, Dr Becca, thank you so much for giving me hope and motivation to be well and happy.”
Catherine, Australia
“I made a lot of progress with other brain retraining techniques, but it was Dr. Becca’s teachings about how to work with repressed emotions and how to use expressive writing that really pushed me forward in terms of increased energy and the confidence to resume activities that I had not enjoyed for many years. Her combination of wisdom, genuine compassion and personalized advice were what I needed to get to where I wanted to be”
Mike S. St. Louis, MO
I went to countless specialists who tested me to my pores and even prescribed Hydrocortizone saying that that was my problem. I was dismissed and felt very alone and lost. I cried very much, felt despair and prayed a lot to find a way to recovery. I thought several times that that was not possible. I even thought that ending my life was probably a better option. I was tired all the time and had no joy. No energy.
I was led to Dr. Becca by a YT testimonial of Deborah Neal. I was very inspired by listening to her story of recovery.
I don’t mind my information being revealed. In fact, I would like to reveal the country where I live because I never heard anything publicly here about Long Covid. I know that many doctors did a lot of examining here to LC patients, such as Cardiologists, Endocrinologists, Neurologists, Pulmonologists, etc….and ended up in Psychiatrics, without any notion taught to them by the medical field, about the Mind-Body approach.
Other Therapists, Psychologists and any Medical Practitioner could begin to treat their patients with a Mind-Body approach or lead them to someone who can. All would benefit. The funny thing is that Neuroplasticity is known by the Psychological field and by other Therapists and yet why isn’t it more frequently applied.
C.N. Portugal
“The course exceeded my expectations going into it. I love that Dr. Kennedy is such a calm person. With her clear and informative sessions, I was able to learn the theory of mind-body syndrome, assess my own condition more clearly, be convinced about the evidence and be motivated to learn and practice the various techniques to calm down my nervous and anxious unconscious brain. I am quite happy about having access to the multitude of tools to see which one will work for me best. I look forward to improving the pain in my feet and thigh, knowing that it will be a process and that I must not focus on the results. There is a certain spiritual appeal to this idea as it coincides with the central idea of the Bhagwat Gita – the holy book of the Indian-Hindu spiritual teachings. I loved the course. Thanks, Dr. Kennedy.”
Manoj Garg Portland OR
“I want to thank Doctor Becca Kennedy for helping me recover from Long Covid. Prior to working with her I had spent 4 months bedbound and many more months suffering immensely with a long list of chronic conditions. I was essentially disabled, unable to work and stuck in my home. Prior to meeting her, I had done many things to get myself better and Becca’s program was the final piece of the puzzle for me. In fact I’d say I improved rather quickly after a few meetings with her. That said, there is no magic pill. Becca will educate and guide you through this, but you will still need to put the work in. Today I can confidently say that not only am I recovered, but I’m better shape now than before I became sick! I am working, lifting heavy weights, traveling, biking and I am going on a ski trip next week. Most importantly I am able to be a father to my daughter again and be there when she needs me. Something I was unable to do for over a year.”

“Dr. Kennedy has made such a positive difference in my life since I had the luck of finding her practice. She inspires hope in the dark and often lonely world of chronic pain conditions. She offers a way through symptoms by helping get to the root of the issue and empowers you to become your own cure. I promise it’s worth the effort! Her practice deserves the highest recognition. I hope that more people who are suffering and finding little help with physical treatments/drugs can find her work and have their lives changed as well!”
