About us
Where the Science of Healing Meets Those with Lived Experience
The name says it all. You are not broken. You are healABLE.
That's not just a tagline. It's what we believe, what we see reflected back every day — and what the science increasingly supports.
HealABLE Pathways is a chronic pain and symptom recovery education brand dedicated to making the mindbody approach to healing more understood, more accessible, and more widely available — for individuals living with symptoms, caregivers supporting them, and practitioners who haven't yet encountered this science.
What we do
HealABLE Pathways is a chronic symptom healing education brand dedicated to making the mindbody approach to recovery more understood, more accessible, and more widely available — for individuals living with symptoms, caregivers supporting them, and physicians and practitioners who haven't yet encountered the science behind this work.
We offer education, resources, and coaching grounded in the mindbody (neuroplastic) approach — including a global event called the Chronic Pain Healing Summit coming on November 13-14, 2026.
Why we do what we do
Because 1.5 billion people are living with chronic pain and symptoms — many without clear answers, without effective treatment, and without hope that things can change.
The science exists. The evidence is growing. The recoveries are real. But this approach is still reaching far too few people.
HealABLE Pathways exists to close that gap, and with a mission to give back a portion of net revenue to support the global non-profit organizations who are so instrumental in bringing this work to the public and practitioners.
Who is behind it
Karen Ash, ACC is the founder of HealABLE Pathways and its specialty brand, Migraine Oasis.
Karen is an ICF (International Coaching Federation) certified Coach specializing in Neuroplastic Symptom Recovery Coaching (NSRC), trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and Dr. Dan Ratner's Columns Work — with direct training under some of the leading voices in this field such as Dr. Howard Schubiner, Dr. David Clarke, Dr. Mark Lumley, Alan Gordon LCSW, and Nicole Sachs LCSW, and others.
Before transitioning to coaching, Karen spent 35 years project managing professional events — from hotel sales and management, to running her own international meeting planning company, to in-house event production and compliance in pharma leadership. That background is what makes the Chronic Pain Healing Summit possible.
Karen also spent 34 years living with chronic migraine — told it was genetic, incurable, and something she would simply have to manage. When she discovered this approach, everything shifted. She healed. That experience led her to retrain as a Chronic Pain Recovery Coach, found Migraine Oasis, become a founding member of the ATNS (Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms) Coaches Advisory Council, lead the ATNS Coaches Special Interest Group, and ultimately create HealABLE Pathways to broaden the scope to all chronic pain and symptoms.
Lived experience. Professional expertise. Deep knowledge of the science. That is what makes HealABLE Pathways different.
