Welcome to Pain Mastery!


Pain will only change if we all understand it - patients, providers, all. As medicine begins to acknowledge and explore the intersection of pain science, neuroscience, and pain psychology, treatments are starting to shift, too. There IS HOPE for people living with pain.


My name is Dr. Rachel Zoffness. I'm a pain psychologist, author, and medical educator at Stanford, UCSF, and Dartmouth. My trainings are designed for providers and patients who want to learn more about how pain works, the role of the brain in pain, and how to treat chronic pain effectively using evidence-based methods.

For decades, pain has incorrectly been framed as a biomedical problem to be treated exclusively with pills and procedures.

But it isn't working.

Science tells us that treatment must focus on the whole biopsychosocial picture - which includes the BRAIN in addition to the body. In these workshops, you will learn about the
science and treatment of pain.
