Customer Support

Connecting with Nicole and the BreakAwake Offerings

             I want to speak with Nicole or have a one-on-one consultation:

Nicole no longer sees individual clients or conducts one-on-one consultations. This is why we created the global Heal with Nicole Community, so that Nicole’s content and support can reach more people! This unique monthly membership is designed to provide you with all the knowledge and support you need as you walk beside people who understand your pain and speak your language. Nicole, Lisa, and their guest experts will be with you every step of the way as you take your healing to the next level, going LIVE with you on Zoom twice a month, and answering questions daily in a private online group. Heal with Nicole is the best way to maintain a direct relationship with Nicole and her team and to be part of this global community. To read more, click here  To join us, click here. 

       I’m new to this work and the BreakAwake site. Where do I begin?

We suggest beginning with the FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN course. You can get your first lesson free and then decide! It embodies the foundation of Nicole’s theories and practices, and will guide you through the work gently and patiently, with Nicole holding your virtual hand. It is self-directed and doesn’t require you to show up live for anything, so you can do it at your own pace. You have a year from the time of purchase to complete it, and that is plenty of time! If you’re looking to interact with Nicole live, the HEAL WITH NICOLE COMMUNITY is the best place to start.

       I’m a beginner - is Heal with Nicole right for me?

Heal with Nicole is an opportunity for people in the beginning of their journeys who are just learning about TMS to connect with those who are mentors in our community… and everyone in between. Being surrounded by like-minded people is such an essential part of healing, and we all come together to keep each other going. Many members say that our twice-a-month live meetings are the highlight of their months. Click here to learn more and join us.

  Where can I find JournalSpeak instructions?

You can learn how to JournalSpeak HERE.

     I’m a practitioner, teacher, alternative clinician, nurse, doctor, therapist, community leader, etc. and I would like to bring this work to my people. How do I best do this?

The Sarno X Sachs Solution, our practitioner training, provides a deep dive into everything behind MindBody suffering - brain science, nervous system regulation, mindset management, the ANSR (Allow, Name, Stay, Release) and more for chronic recovery of all kinds. You can use this depth of knowledge to bring MindBody healing to your own communities. So glad you are on this path! Click here to learn more and get access to the first module for FREE.

   Do you offer Continuing Education Credits (CE’s) for the Sarno x Sachs Solution?

Yes! 18.75 CEs for many professions. Please go here for information on CE’s. If you don’t see your profession on the list, you can provide your licensing board with the information and they can make decisions on a case-by-case basis. 

     Where do I order Nicole’s new book MIND YOUR BODY?

   I have BOTH Chronic Pain and Anxiety. Which course should I take first?

We recommend taking the Freedom from Chronic Pain course first. It embodies the foundation of Nicole’s theories and practices, which will help you recover from both Chronic Pain and Anxiety (which is a Symptom Imperative). For specific Cognitive/Behavioral support with Anxiety in all its manifestations, Freedom from an Anxious Life has specific tools to help reduce daily anxiety and builds skills to respond to Anxiety and Panic Attacks in the moment.

     My Freedom from Chronic Pain course is missing videos for some lessons. Is this correct?

Yes, not all lessons include video content—some are designed with downloadable materials only. Specifically, Lesson #2 and Lesson #11 do not have video or audio components, so be sure to check for the accompanying downloads instead.

   I have questions about Omega?

Please go to eomega.org. Workshops and event sign ups are available from the homepage under “Workshops”. To sign up for Nicole’s annual Freedom From Chronic Pain Retreat, please sign up through Omega, here.

Checkout or Payment Issues

The charges for our products appear with a description of “NICOLE SACHS BREAKAWAK” on credit card and bank statements. For purchases made upon site launch in summer 2024, your credit card statement may read “THE DHARMA INITIATIVE”. This is still us! We changed the name on the charge because it was causing some confusion.
