Welcome to Bloom Health Consulting.
An Innovative Approach to Chronic Pain Treatment with Alex Ross
Are you suffering from frustrating neuroplastic pain?
Do you identify with the Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) sufferers described in Dr. John Sarno’s books, but you still can’t seem to shake the pain?
You're in the right place.At Bloom we specialize in using neuroplasticity to treat chronic pain.
We take pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) to the next level by emphasizing the importance of emotional processing in order to fully treat neuroplastic pain.
Our approach weaves together nervous system regulation, somatic healing, & pain reprocessing to optimize your chronic pain healing results.
We offer innovative solutions that lead to pain elimination, rather than ‘pain management’.
Because you deserve to bloom.You may call it neuroscience.
I call it self-healing.
Hey there. I’m Alex —
Stanford trained board-certified physician assistant. Published scientific author. Former chronic pain & anxiety sufferer. And fellow self-healer.

I help my clients FINALLY break free of the chronic pain cycle by harnessing their body’s innate technology to heal itself via:
Neuroplasticity
Epigenetics
Nervous System Regulation
I’ll expedite your healing process— getting you back to a life of taking risks, accomplishing goals, & making ‘big’ moves from a pain-free place of flow & enjoyment.

how we bloom
-
knowledge as treatment
We’ll start off your healing journey by empowering you with information. You’ll learn about the field of mind-body medicine, the mounds of scientific research backing the mind-body origin of chronic pain, about the keys to successful treatment, the hundreds of thousands of pain sufferers who eliminated chronic pain via the mind-body approach, and about pioneers of the mind-body field including Dr. John Sarno MD, Dr. David Schechter MD, Dr. Howard Schubiner MD, Dr. David Clarke MD, and many others!
Tools of choice: Targeted reading of books & research articles, specialized conference & podcast recommendations, personalized 1:1 education around the etiology of your unique pain story

emotional processing
Our goal at Bloom is to help you shift out of a pattern of expressing your emotions physically/ somatically through chronic pain & associated symptoms. We’ll do this by guiding you through proper emotional processing techniques that will eliminate your mind-body’s need for physical symptoms altogether. You’ll learn a slew of somatic emotional processing techniques to integrate into your everyday life, empowering your continued self-healing journey from stubborn symptoms even outside of Bloom sessions.
Tools of choice: Somatic Emotional Processing (*unique to Bloom), Breathwork, Yin yoga, guided meditations, guided journaling & other targeted nervous system regulation tools.
*Of note: we refer out for deep Trauma work, as needed. Trauma healing modalities we recommend for mind-body concerns include: Heart Math, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Brain Spotting, & other somatic-based tools.

toning of chronic pain personality traits
What do high achievers, perfectionists, people pleasers, and first born daughters all have in common? They are highly capable, hyper self-critical, and often ignore their own needs in service of others. Sure, being a Type A badass is a superpower in many aspects/ roles in your life! But the constant, unconscious steamrolling over your own needs has resulted in a pattern of emotional self-neglect. So, to get your attention, your body has decided to send you the loudest signal it can think of: enter in chronic pain.
With the help of Bloom, you’ll heal physical symptoms by learning to minimize self-abandonment. The antidote: incorporating self-compassion into your internal vernacular. You’ll come to understandthat high symptom days (or seasons) are signs of increased self abandonment or self-criticism. Armed with your new understanding how pain arises, you’ll develop your own self-healing secret sauce to keep symptoms away for GOOD. *While allowing the badass parts of you to shine through, of course.
Tools of choice: Internal Family Systems (IFS, “parts” work), guided journaling, guided meditations, specialized readings & podcast recommendations.
