The Somatic Strength Collective
Move with Agency, Build with ease
Stop managing your pain like it’s a part-time job. Start building a body that supports your life and your future.
Is Chronic Pain
Running Your Life?
You need a system that actually heals not just manages
If you took the Neural Audit and landed in the Management Trap, you know exactly what this feels like. You spend your limited free time stretching, icing, foam rolling, and over-analyzing every sensation just to maintain a baseline. You want to be active, but you feel “stuck” in a cycle of maintenance.
Or perhaps you are in the Whisper Phase. You’re resilient, but you hear the background noise—the subtle “hums” of discomfort, the morning stiffness, the recovery that takes a little too long. You’ve realized that your old “no pain, no gain” way of training isn’t serving your body anymore, but you don’t know what to do instead.
You don’t need to choose between being gentle with yourself and being strong. You need a method that does both.
If This sounds familiar
You are in the right place
- You second-guess every movement you make, afraid it might trigger a flare-up.
- You’ve canceled trips, outings, or plans because you’re worried about how your body will hold up
- You’ve tried countless medications, therapies, second opinions and solutions, but nothing has worked.
- You rely on others to help with everyday tasks, making you feel smaller and less independent.
- You feel stuck—unsure how to break free from the cycle of pain, fear, and frustration.
If even one of these resonates – your body is telling you it’s time to make a change.
This is for you if...
- You want to lift, hike, and play without the lingering fear of "paying for it" tomorrow.
- You’ve been burned by other programs that either flared your pain or felt too gentle to be effective.
- You are done with "pushing through the pain," but you aren't ready to give up on being active and fit
- You want a sustainable baseline of movement that feels like joy, not a chore you dread.
- You are ready to get to the root of your pain instead of chasing solutions that disapoint
What's Waiting for you In the Collective
This isn’t just a random collection of exercises. It is a curated trove of resources modeled after the real-life progress of my private 1:1 coaching clients.
Neurocentric Pain Care for sustained healing
The Somatic Toolkit
When you are living with pain that drains you every day, or living with the constant threat of a pain flare you need a way to reset. The toolkit contains somatic movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices that are proven to quiet flares, and retrain the nervous systems toward peace and confidence.
Somatic education is essential to your healing. the collective has everything you need for back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck and hip pain.
Interoception Training
Fear of movement comes from a lack of trust. We provide exercises to help you accurately hear—and trust—the signals your body is sending you. You will learn to distinguish between “danger” pain and “sensation,” allowing you to move with confidence instead of caution.
Improved interoception is crucial for healing chronic pain, and a skill that enhances every aspect of your life.
Graded Exposure Workouts: Mastering the Goldilocks Zone
Stop guessing how much is “too much.” Our strength sessions use “goldilocks loading”—not too soft, not too hard, but just right to trigger adaptation without triggering a flare-up.
Real-World Protocols: Follow the exact programming I use with private clients to build strength safely.
Beginner to Advanced: Whether you are returning to movement after a long break or looking to push your PRs, there is a track for you.
Gym or Home: Full programs available for whatever equipment you have access to.
- Workouts that accommodate your specific pain condition. Got knee pain? Learn to load your knees for relief, not more pain and swelling?
In App Support Forum
Pain is isolating. Healing doesn’t have to be. Connect with peers who understand the journey, share wins, and make the process of pain care effective and fun.
The forum is your access your coach for questions or recommendations.
Live Sessions
Pain education, community, movement are all evidence informed tools for healing chronic pain. Live sessions for the collective include pain science discussions and movement practices.
Mandy's Movement Method
Mandy’s neurocentric approach is based on cutting-edge pain science, years of experience, and a deep understanding of the emotional toll chronic pain takes.
She’s helped hundreds of pain-sufferers just like you by:
- Addressing pain that lingers beyond healing. Chronic pain often lasts longer than the time it takes for your tissues to heal, typically three to six months. When this happens, other factors—like your body’s learned responses to pain—can come into play.
- Following the research. Combining neuroscience, somatic movement, strength and conditioning and mindfulness, Mandy uses a holistic, evidence-based approach to help you feel better in your body.
- Staying practical and personalized. This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. The Somatic Strength Collective is tailored to meet you where you are, helping you make sustainable changes at your own pace.
- Prioritizing confidence and trust. Instead of avoiding movement out of fear, you’ll learn how to approach it with trust, optimism, and the knowledge that your body is capable of so much more than you think.

Shift from Managing to healing
Somatic Strength Collective FAQ
Can I do This Program From Anywhere?
Yes! You will use an app for most of your program content. Group coaching will take place via zoom.
Do I need to download anything?
Yes! When you register for the program, you will also begin setting up your access to the app we will use. Just follow the prompts to get set up.
If you have any technical issues, just reply to your welcome email. It’s best to get these things squared away as soon as possible so that you can focus on healing.
What if Im not tech savy?
If you aren’t comfortable using an app on your phone or tablet, this program is, unfortunately, not for you. It’s quite simple once you get started, but adding technical stress, if that’s already a trigger for you, is not ideal.
You may prefer 1:1 coaching in this case. Please set up a strategy call to determine the right path for you.
Is there a guarantee?
The 7 day free trial gives you access to 100% of the collective. If you decide it’s not for you, just cancel before your trial is up.
Once a paying member, you can cancel at anytime in the app. Please do so before your next billing as refunds are not offered for this membership.
Will This Help My Pain Issue?
This process has been used successfully by people with a variety of pain issues including musculoskeletal pain (i.e. back pain, neck pain, shoulder, knee pain etc…), Irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and more.
The biggest predictor of your success is your ability to be consistent with your use of the resources.
Some prefer more personalized coaching. If you would like to discuss 1:1 coaching, book a free 25 minute strategy session with Mandy
What are the movement practices like?
Your movement practices range very simple to more challenging. These movement practices are well tolerated by Mandy’s clients and become an important part of their continued success for many years after working together. Every practice and movement is provided with pain care as a priority.
All movement practices will have a somatic element. Somatic movement is movement not for the musculoskeletal system, but for the education of the nervous system. Gradually you will learn to move with less pain and guarding. You will use these skills to add more and more movements back into your life.
If you would like to discuss your specific issue, please set up a strategy call. We will decide which path is right for you.
