First, What Is TMS?

TMS stands for Tension Myoneural Syndrome (also called Mind-Body Syndrome). It’s the idea that real, physical pain can be caused by stress, trauma, emotional suppression, or a dysregulated nervous system, not tissue damage.

Your pain isn’t in your head. But it is in your nervous system.

TMS can show up as:

• Chronic pelvic pain

• IBS or digestive issues

• Migraines or burning sensations

• Muscle tension, fatigue, nerve pain

• And so many other hard-to-pin-down symptoms

This was the missing piece for me, and the beginning of real healing.

So I created a tool to help others find it faster than I did.

Why Take the TMS Assessment?

If you’re here, something in you already suspects your pain might have a mind-body connection. This free assessment is a simple way to explore that possibility, and maybe, finally, get some clarity.

Here’s why it’s worth taking:

1. Most Chronic Pain Isn’t About Structural Damage

If your scans are clear and treatments haven’t helped, your nervous system might be stuck in protection mode.

The TMS Assessment looks at:

• Symptom patterns

• Personality traits (like perfectionism, people-pleasing, etc.)

• Stress history

• Emotional triggers

• Past trauma or life events

These are the exact indicators so many TMS patients (including me) have in common.

2. Doctors Miss This All the Time

Most healthcare systems don’t screen for nervous system-based pain.

They’re trained to look for physical damage, not emotional stress responses that manifest as pain.

That’s where the TMS Assessment comes in. It helps you uncover the mind-body patterns that traditional medicine often overlooks.

3. It Gives You Clarity Sooner (Not Years Later)

I spent years piecing together what this simple test now reveals in minutes.

Seeing it all laid out, your symptoms, stressors, traits, and patterns, is often the “lightbulb” moment.

You realize:

“Oh my gosh… this might actually be coming from my nervous system.”

And that realization? That’s the first step to healing.

4. You’ll Start Noticing New Kinds of Evidence

Once the mind-body connection makes sense, you start to see it everywhere.

• Pain that shifts when you laugh

• A flare-up after a stressful event

• A calm body moment that used to feel impossible

Belief builds evidence. And evidence builds momentum.

To help with that, I also created a Healing Stories & Tools Board packed with real mind-body recovery stories (especially for pelvic pain) and the exact tools that helped.

5. Healing Starts With Understanding

The goal of this assessment isn’t to label you.

It’s to show you what’s possible.

To offer the same “click” moment that changed everything for me. To help you go from confused and scared… to curious, hopeful, and ready to take the next step.

Next Step: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Once you start seeing the mind-body connection, the path forward can still feel overwhelming.

That’s why I created the Pelvic Healing Circle: a supportive community space for people exploring TMS, nervous system regulation, and mind-body recovery.

It’s where we:

• Talk through assessment results together

• Share symptom patterns and lightbulb moments

• Celebrate the tiny wins and breakthroughs

• Gently rebuild belief in your body’s ability to heal

Whether you’re brand new to TMS or neck-deep in uncertainty, this is a space where you’ll be seen, supported, and not have to explain yourself.
