As Seen / Heard On
Surgery can be overwhelming.
Preparation empowers.
Surgery causes immense physical and emotional stress — often comparable to a major trauma. Yet most patients are never guided on how to prepare.
You may be feeling:
✦ Worried about complications or slow recovery
✦ Overwhelmed and unsure what to expect
✦ Physically and emotionally unprepared
✦ Alone in the process
✦ Lack of confidence
✦ Scared
“Dr. Stevane’s whole-person surgical planning for hysterectomy and other surgical patients is so needed and not on the radar of surgical clinics.”
Andrew Bognanno MD, ObGyn
*ADVOCACY* *NAVIGATION* *WELLNESS*
“This model integrates intentional preparation of psychological AND physical readiness into surgical care in a way that is rarely done in modern medicine. It creates an essential alignment for optimal recovery.”
-Rebecka Pearson, PhD, LCPC, Counselor
