History of chronic pain, nausea and insomnia

Nora Rodden

For years, I felt like I was playing whack-a-mole with my health. After being hit by a car as a senior at Cornell University, I developed chronic back pain that never healed the way my doctors expected. Then came GI issues, then insomnia. I did everything I was supposed to do: saw countless specialists, tried multiple treatments, and spent thousands of dollars out of pocket, yet I still wasn't improving.

With my background in biology and biotech, I believed there had to be a scientific explanation, but I never expected that part of the answer would lie in the nervous system and the brain-body connection. Learning that changed my life. While earning my MS in Biotechnology and MBA from Harvard, I discovered a science-based, mind-body approach that helped me recover fully. I co-built Nervana so more people could access these tools, feel less alone, and find a path forward when they feel they've tried everything under the sun for their symptoms.
