This program is created and led by a clinical counsellor with over 25 years of experience in pain, trauma, and recovery — blending psychological tools with compassion and evidence-based care.
Your pain is real—and there is a way forward.
Re-Write Pain was created by Jasmine Shivji, a registered
occupational therapist and clinical counsellor with over
two decades of experience supporting individuals living
with pain, trauma, and complex recovery.
This program was built from years of walking alongside
people at all stages of healing—after injury, after trauma,
and after long periods of feeling unseen or misunderstood.
Blending clinical expertise with compassionate care,
Re-Write Pain helps you move beyond coping and toward
meaningful, sustainable recovery.
Your pain is real. You deserve more than coping — you deserve your life back.
