Welcome to Befriend, a cutting edge neuroplasticity based approach to chronic

fatigue treatment, chronic pain, burnout, anxiety treatment, and trauma healing.

Infections, viruses, injuries, toxic exposure or trauma can create changes in the brain leading to a phenomenon called sensitisation, where our brain’s threat response is consistently triggered, causing severe symptoms. We use a gentle, science-backed approach to help you retrain your brain, calm the alarm system, and restore balance to your body and mind.

Post exertion malaise

Many chronic conditions like chronic pain, chronic fatigue, sensitivities, or post-viral symptoms, are now understood as neuroplastic or central sensitization conditions. This means that the brain’s alarm system has learned to stay in protection mode, continuing to send signals to the body that cause symptoms.

These symptoms are real, and they’re the result of the brain and body doing their job too well ; not because anything is broken.

‍

The Befriend Approach

Through neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change, you will learn gentle, evidence-based practices to weave into daily life (not make healing full time!) that calm the alarm systemic the brain and restore health to the body.

We combine:

Expert Education to help you build trust recovery is possible for you
Somatic (body based) ways to feel better in your unique body without prescriptive 'nervous system regulation'
Emotional awareness not forced positivity, but self-understanding
Neuroplastic brain retraining - rewire protective pathways into ease, presence, connection, and health

At Befriend, we work at the root; addressing how biology, emotions, environment, and meaning shape the body’s state of safety. Our community offers time, space, and expert guidance to help you return home to health at the pace of trust, not pressure or perfection. You will learn that healing is not about fixing. It is about befriending yourself.

It is valuable to do this in an affordable, kind, community so that you are supported and seen. We value humour, connection, and play as part of how we heal, so our participants all experience this as they recover.
