Your pain experience is real.
And it can change.
Working with a chronic pain coach who has lived it changes everything.
Cynthia Austin, NBC-HWC is a certified pain coach and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach specializing in chronic pain coaching for people who are ready for a different approach.
You have seen the specialists, tried the medications, and followed every recommendation.
You are still in pain.
You have been told nothing is wrong, or that you simply need to learn to manage it.
You know that is not the whole answer.​
You are looking for a pain coach who understands what is actually happening and can help you do something meaningful about it.
You are ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding.
If any of this resonates, you are in the right place.
I am Cynthia Austin, NBC-HWC —
a certified pain coach and National Board Certified Health Coach specializing in chronic pain coaching and chronic illness coaching.
I built My Pain Coach, LLC and The C.H.A.N.G.E. Lab: Chronic Pain Edition™ because I needed them and nothing like them existed.
I lived with debilitating chronic pain for nearly five decades. I understand the medical system’s failures from the inside. And I know what it takes to change the pain experience — not manage it, change it.
​
My approach to pain management coaching is grounded in pain neuroscience, nervous system science, and evidence-informed behavior change.
Every tool I use with clients, I have lived myself.

Board-Certified Expertise
Cynthia Austin is a certified pain coach holding the National Board Certification in Health and Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC), with specialized training in pain neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and behavior change.
Nearly Five Decades of Lived Experience
This chronic pain coaching practice was not built from a textbook. It was built from necessity — from decades of chronic pain, medical system failures, and the long process of finding what actually works.
A Proprietary Framework Built for This
The C.H.A.N.G.E. Lab: Chronic Pain Edition™ is a structured, neuroplasticity-based coaching for pain program designed specifically for people living with chronic pain and chronic illness. Not a generic wellness program. Not pain management. A method for changing the pain experience from the inside out.
