Reclaim Your Strength

nervous system regulation for women in chronic pain

Finally. A Program Built for Women Who Have Tried Everything and Still Aren’t Getting Better.

reclaim your strength

A 10-week group coaching program for women navigating chronic pain, fatigue, and burnout.

BUILT ON THE REGULATE AND REBUILD METHOD

Most programs hand you a workout plan and send you home. Reclaim Your Strength was designed for what comes after that. When you’ve done all the right things and still end up back in the same cycle.

This program follows the exact sequence your body needs: regulating the nervous system first, rebuilding strength progressively, and layering in sustainable habits that carry over into real life. Not a quick fix. A complete framework from a licensed DPT who is walking the same path alongside you.

You wake up already calculating how to get through today without making it worse.

You’ve tried pushing through. You’ve tried resting. You’ve seen doctors who told you everything looks normal. You’ve attempted to build strength on your own only to end up right back where you started, hurting and defeated.

And underneath all of it is the exhaustion. Not just physical, but the mental load of managing a body that feels unpredictable while life keeps moving around you.

You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. You’ve been running on empty without the right roadmap. And that ends here.

hi, i’m tera

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has lived with chronic pain for over ten years and I built this program because I was missing the same piece you are.

I know what it feels like to do everything right and still end up in a flare. To feel dismissed by a system that tells you you’re fine when you know in your bones that something is still not right.

Reclaim Your Strength exists to bridge the gap between formal care and real, lasting recovery. It brings the clinical knowledge of a licensed DPT into a coaching and wellness space where there’s finally room to address not just the muscles and joints, but the nervous system driving the cycle underneath.

This isn’t just what I teach. It’s what I practice every single day.

“You haven’t failed every program you’ve tried. Every program has failed to address the one thing driving the cycle — your nervous system.”

– Tera Sandona, PT, DPT

Questions? I have answers!

Who is this program for?

Reclaim Your Strength is for women navigating chronic pain, fatigue, and burnout who have tried other approaches and keep ending up back in the same cycle. If you’ve done physical therapy, tried workout programs, or seen multiple providers and still feel stuck, this program was built with you in mind.

Do I need any equipment or prior fitness experience?

The program is designed to meet you where your body actually is right now, not where you think it should be. Daily protocols are 12 to 15 minutes and can be done from home with minimal to no equipment.

How is this different from traditional physical therapy?

Traditional PT clinics operate within a healthcare system that simply doesn’t allow the time or space for deep nervous system work. This program brings the clinical knowledge of a licensed DPT into a coaching and wellness space where there’s finally room to address the root of what’s driving the cycle, not just the symptoms.

What if I’m in a pain flare when the program starts?

If you’re in a pain flare when the program starts, then you’re definitely in the right place. This program is designed around flares. The Regulate and Rebuild Method teaches you how to read your body’s signals and modify accordingly. A flare is not a reason to stop — it’s data, and we work with it.

How much time do I need each week?

Daily protocols are 12 to 15 minutes and there is one weekly live group coaching call with Tera. If you can’t make the live session, it will be recorded and available for you at your convenience. The program was built specifically for women with limited energy and busy lives. It has to fit into real life or it doesn’t work.

When does the program start?

The program is currently in development. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens, get priority access, and secure founding member pricing.

You’ve waited long enough to feel like yourself again.

Chronic pain isn’t like an injury that heals and g Chronic pain isn’t like an injury that heals and goes away. It’s there most days and most of the time, no one can see it. I’d go out with friends, smile, and keep shifting in my seat trying to find a position that didn’t hurt, without saying a word.

I didn’t want to be the burden, the one who ruins the night, or the person whose pain becomes the whole conversation. So “I’m in pain” slowly turned into “I’m fine.” Not because it stopped being true, but because I got tired of being the one who always brings it up.

Sometimes “I’m fine” is just the easiest thing to say.

Send this to the friend who always says she’s fine.

For about two weeks, I got through every day looki For about two weeks, I got through every day looking fine.

I showed up, I smiled, and I did what needed to get done, and no one would have guessed anything was wrong. Then I’d get home, close the door, and fall apart. I didn’t have anything left for a walk, for dinner, or even for a conversation.

Holding it together takes energy, even when no one can see it. Your body is still carrying the stress while you’re smiling through the day and it has to go somewhere once you finally stop.

So if you’re falling apart the second you walk in the door, that’s what it looks like when you’ve been holding a lot for a long time. Home is just the first place it feels safe to let go.

If this is where you are right now, it’s okay. Know you aren’t alone in that feeling.

It took me years to feel steady again. For a long It took me years to feel steady again. For a long time I ran on fumes. and it showed up in my health, so I learned to be careful with what I took on.

Now, I’m in a different place and there are things I want to go after. So I sit down at night to work on them. A couple of weeks into going all in, I’m wiped out. I don’t want to work out. I don’t want to make dinner. I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing.

That’s when I get scared because I know where that road goes if I ignore it. So I back off, and when I back off, I stay stuck.

The question I keep coming back to is whether that’s my body telling me something real or an old habit of protecting myself like I’m still where I was years ago. Some days I can tell the difference and some days I can’t.

If you’re stuck between wanting more and being afraid of what it’ll cost you, you’re not the only one.

For about two months now, I’ve wanted to get back For about two months now, I’ve wanted to get back to working out. And every time I thought I was close, something else came up.

I wasn’t sleeping well, caffeine was getting me through the day, and after a full day of just showing up, I had nothing left. My wearable was showing it, but I already knew. How was I supposed to recover from a workout when I wasn’t even recovering from a normal day?

So I held off. But then the voice kicks in. “You should be back on track by now, you’ve already lost weeks.”

But, adding physical stress on top of a system that’s already maxed out isn’t discipline. It usually just digs the hole deeper.

I know it was the right call, and yet, I’m still frustrated about it. I have goals I want to hit and both of those things are true at the same time.

If you’re in a stretch where you can’t do the thing you know helps, it’s okay to be doing less and still wish it were different.

Send this to the friend who’s had to put her goals on hold.
