Did you know pre-surgery anxiety and stress can slow your healing and worsen your pain?
What if you could walk into the OR calm, confident, and primed for a speedy recovery with less pain?
Hi, I’m Pascale Bruinen: brain trainer, founder of the Academy for Self-Recovery and developer of ‘the Healing Brain Wash’- specific brain training for optimal results of surgery and medical procedures.
On September 16, 2016, I had to undergo major abdominal surgery and I used the exact techniques I teach now—daily meditations, targeted affirmations, vivid visualizations— with remarkable results: after my surgery, I didn’t experience any pain whatsoever and I recovered in just a couple of days instead of the predicted 6–8 weeks.

Science shows that positive expectations trigger your brain’s own healing substances, boost immunity, and neutralize the nocebo effect. My unique online 1-on-1 English brain training program, “The Healing Brain Wash,” is designed to:
• Install deep relaxation and unshakeable confidence
• Reduce postop pain (diminishing the need for morphine)
• Shorten hospital stays and speed up wound healing
In short: to optimize your recovery!
