Lara Birk, PhD

Lara is a certified pain reprocessing & mindbody coach who lives outside Boston, MA. Formerly a sociology professor, she changed her career after finding Curable Groups and experiencing the transformative power of mindbody medicine. Before that, she lived with often debilitating chronic pain for close to 30 years, following a catastrophic medical condition at age 16 that required 17 surgeries. As someone whose pain is a nuanced mixture of structural and neuroplastic, Lara knows firsthand the promise of this work, even - and especially - for people with complicated medical situations. Lara has gotten her life back, only better, and she is dedicated to helping others do the same.

Common questions about Groups

For further questions, email us at groups@curablehealth.com .

Is Curable Groups included in my Curable App Subscription?

Curable Groups is a separate program from the Curable App, and is not included in the price of a Curable app subscription. Curable Groups provides a more intensive option for those seeking individualized attention and peer support. Groups is a wonderful complement to the Curable App that ensures more accountability and structure. Whether you are just starting out in your journey with the Curable App or have been using it for years, Groups can help you take your healing to the next level.
What type of person will benefit most from Curable Groups?

Curable Groups provides the opportunity to do deeper work with a small group of committed peers. There are a wide variety of individuals for whom this can be beneficial. For someone who is too busy to use the Curable App consistently, Curable Groups provides the accountability to dig in to the more challenging work. For someone who is new and uncertain about this approach to pain relief, Curable Groups provides the support to test out new strategies in a safe space with guided facilitation. For someone who is stuck at a plateau on their healing journey, Curable Groups offers a fresh perspective on core topics and an invitation to go deeper than before. For someone who is making good progress on their physical symptoms, Curable Groups offers ways to make similar transformations in other areas of life beyond pain management.
What types of symptoms do Curable Groups members have?

There is no "right set of symptoms" to have when deciding whether you should pursue Curable Groups. The topics covered in Groups can help you to reduce your symptoms no matter what they are, how long they have lasted, or how they began. We have participants who suffer from migraines, fibromyalgia, back pain, nerve pain, arthritis, pelvic pain, IBS, chronic fatigue, post-surgical symptoms, Post Concussion Syndrome, endometriosis and many more. The level of symptom relief varies from individual to individual, even within the same condition. Participants, regardless of symptoms, have reported improvement in mindset, outlook, and the ability to enjoy life's everyday activities.
What happens if I need to miss a session?

You can still participate if you need to miss a session. Life happens! We just ask that you do your best to make most, if not all, of the small group discussions - both for your own experience and for the experience of other group members.
What is your refund policy?

We do not provide refunds on the Curable Groups programs. By signing up for a Curable Group you are making a commitment to your own healing journey, and a commitment to your fellow Group members. The quality of the experience depends on a committed group who will work together. Additionally, each month our demand for Curable Groups exceeds the amount of spaces we are able to open up. If someone cancels, we are unable to add a new participant since this would compromise the trust and relationships already established within the group.
I live outside the US. Am I able to participate?

Absolutely! We have participants from all over the world. Select meeting times are available in the evenings for those in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Select meeting times are available in the morning/mid-day for those in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
