Lara Birk, PhD, Founder, The Sage Practice, LLC

Empowerment is Healing.

After 17 surgeries left me with lasting structural challenges and decades of pain, I discovered the science of brain-based pain through Curable. Inspired by its transformative power, I left a career I loved to help others on similar journeys.

At The Sage Practice, I teach clients how to create self trust, agency, growth, and engagement, empowering them to take their power back and make the most of their one wild and precious life.

The fact that you’re here on this website right now tells me you have the courage & curiosity it takes to learn what I’ve learned:

“Choose to see pain as a portal back into yourself, and it becomes an invitation to awaken back to life.”Lara
