Our Story

Hope for Pain began in 2010 as a ministry dedicated to supporting those living with chronic pain and invisible illnesses. Our mission is to provide practical tips, holistic treatment options, and faith-based encouragement to help manage the daily challenges of chronic illness. We advocate for integrative health, combining plant-based nutrition, natural therapies, and the strength of a supportive faith community as powerful tools in the journey toward healing.

From Our Founder

 

Hi, I’m Nichole- and this is why I started Hope for Pain. I grew up watching my mom live with chronic, unrelenting pain. I remember the prayers whispered through tears, the quiet strength she carried, and how often the only real comfort came from her faith. Those early memories stayed with me—and shaped the way I see pain, healing, and what it means to truly care for someone.

By profession I am a certified nurse anesthetist, spending my days managing acute pain in the operating room. But even as I helped patients through procedures, I couldn’t stop thinking about the people like my mom—those who live with chronic pain day after day. In medicine, we talk about multimodal analgesia—a fancy way of saying we need more than one approach. That’s what led me to integrative health: a model that honors not just the body, but the heart, mind, and spirit too.

I created Hope for Pain as a place for people like my mom—and maybe like you. It’s a space to explore plant-based food as medicine, to lean on faith when things feel heavy, and to walk a healing journey that doesn’t ignore the soul.
