Loretta Holgate is a Registered Nurse with extensive experience in an inpatient hospital-based chemical dependency program which taught her the value of hard-nosed, and sometimes humorous honesty. That experience, combined with twenty-seven years of research for herself and her chronic pain clients from her own chronic pain program, P.R.O.U.D. has provided her a simple yet effective means of treating some of the manifestations of chronic pain, both for the clients who suffer and the families that become an integral part of living successfully and comfortably. Loretta lives with her husband and her Anatolian shepherd companion near Missoula Montana in an area which shelters historic St. Ignatius founded by the Jesuits, and surrounded by Amish neighbors living and working on a beautiful Indian reservation. The Mission Mountain Range, part of the Rocky Mountains, is in her back yard.
