PREPARING
FOR SURGERY

workshop text.png

For pre- and post-surgery, and beyond!

Preparing for surgery and recovery is more than a checklist — you can step into the experience with clarity, courage, and care.

Participants have shared the

following benefits:

  • Less anxiety and more confidence

  • Improved healing outcomes and recovery time

  • Less use of pain medication

  • Ability to identify and process emotional stress before it builds up

  • A sense of agency and self-trust

  • Less trauma and greater ease

  • New perspective: surgery as an opportunity to reclaim their power and peace, rather than a medical event they have no control over

Evidence-based medicine has repeatedly shown that the more prepared, engaged, and relaxed you are going into surgery, the better your recovery and healing processes (1, 2).

Testiomonial from Beth Hutson, MD

Being told I needed to have surgery, brought up a lot of fears and emotions in me...I felt out of control. I worried about the findings during surgery, postoperative issues like nausea and vomiting (as I have had this with all my other surgeries,) pain and healing, my ability to get back to work and activities quickly, and the impact all this would have on others in my life. Because I have seen excellent results in my patients when they participated in Renie's course, I decided to do it prior to my surgery. The results were unbelievably amazing! I woke up in the recovery room and felt great - no pain, no nausea or vomiting, no fear and I had this amazing sense of overall well-being. My recovery was remarkably quick and easy but more importantly, provided me with a keen awareness of the importance of mind and body. With Renie's loving support and calming nature, I learned that, by doing my part, I could have a positive surgical experience...and I did! Thank you, Renie, for sharing your gift with me and my patients!
