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
It doesn’t have to be this way.





“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
