Encompass Wellness
A whole person approach to chronic pain and illness Recovery
Are you struggling with chronic pain, illness, anxiety, burnout, or other symptoms, or generally not feeling like yourself?
Have you “tired everything”? Done all the “right things,” but your symptom still persist or go away and come back?
Are you telling yourself the you just have a “bad back,” your system is just “too sensitive,” or this is just a part of “getting old”?
You are in the right place! I’ve been there. I’ve said all of these. And I fully recovered from a decade of over 20 chronic symptoms.
I would love to help you find a full recovery too!
Welcome to Encompass Wellness!
At Encompass Wellness LLC, we take a new, science-backed approach to recovery from chronic symptoms. Unlike traditional therapies, treatment is not focused on the body alone, but on the whole person.
We take a look at how the body, mind, emotions, and life and social factors are playing a role in activating and promoting chronic symptoms.
What the science is showing: pain is not all about the body
New research is showing that the subconscious mind and nervous system, not the body, are the primary drivers of many chronic symptoms. When the mind is in a state of danger-protect, it activates the regions of the brain that are responsible for driving pain and other symptoms.
Factors such as life stressors, fear of the symptoms, unexpressed emotions, and high-alert habits are often the drivers of this danger-protect subconscious state. When these factors are resolved, the subconscious danger-protect mode is turned off, and symptoms resolve.

Allison Andraski, Ph.D.
Dr. Allison Andraski, Ph.D., is a coach, consultant, scientist, and writer. She is trained in emotional awareness and expression, pain reprocessing, and grief work, and a Harvard-trained scientist in biomedical research.

She experienced over 20 different chronic symptoms that ranged from body pains to headaches, fatigue, and brain fog. During this journey, Allison tried therapies, medications, injections, etc., but the biggest keys to her healing were discovering the new pain science (see more info above and on the COACHING and RESOURCE pages), learning to feel her emotions (see more on the EMOTIONS and GRIEF pages), and finding her true self along the way (stay tuned for Allison’s upcoming book!). Allison is passionate about helping others learn, feel, find, discover, and recover.
