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.

It’s June. You set a goal in January to stop crash It’s June. You set a goal in January to stop crashing on weekends. You’re still crashing on weekends and now you’re blaming yourself for that, too.

It’s Friday night. You’ve made it through the deadline week. You can’t even think about what to make for dinner…it’s too much. You scroll for hours. You go to bed early thinking sleep will fix it. Saturday morning you wake up worse than you were on Friday and the thought that lands is “why is this so hard, it’s just work, I should be able to handle this.”

Your nervous system was running in elevated mode all week. Cortisol up, heart rate up, fatigue signals overridden to keep the output going. Once the demand drops, the body downshifts and the fatigue you’ve been overriding all week comes through. The crash isn’t new. It’s the same fatigue you’ve been carrying, finally surfacing.

But, the body isn’t the hard part of this. The hard part is what you do with yourself once the crash hits. You confuse rest with being unproductive and feeling unproductive with being inadequate. The moment you crash, you become the sole believer of the thought that you’ve failed.

No one else is thinking that. Not your family, not your colleagues, not your friends. You’re the only voice in the room running that thought. I’ve watched myself do this too.

When the crash lands this Saturday, notice who’s telling you the truth about the week you just had. The body is honest. The voice calling you a failure is not.

Some of the work does not look like work at all. Some of the work does not look like work at all.

Sometimes it looks like rest. Sometimes it looks like saying no. Sometimes it looks like doing 10 minutes when you wish you could do 60. Sometimes it looks like sitting on the couch and letting the day be small.

If you are someone who has spent your whole life proving you can push through, this part of the work will feel like failure at first. But try looking at it like this instead: it is part of what your nervous system has been asking you for the whole time.

A little reminder ❤️

I am not posting this from the other side of a fla I am not posting this from the other side of a flare. I am posting it from inside one.

For two weeks I have been doing the work I teach… pacing, resting, listening, modifying. None of it has fixed it.

And I have caught myself spiraling into the exact thoughts I would gently redirect a patient out of. “I should know better.” “I am the expert in this.” “What am I doing wrong?”

Here is what this flare has reminded me. Knowing the framework does not exempt you from living inside it. A regulated nervous system is not a permanent state. It is a relationship you keep coming back to. And the moments when nothing is working are not proof you are doing it wrong. They are proof your body is asking for something you have not figured out how to give it yet.

If you are in it too right now, I am right there with you. Tell me what is in your bucket this week. Let’s all share some support with one another.
