We bring people together to help you live better
Mayv is a supportive community of patients, doctors, and experts. It's a place for us to share our collective experience and knowledge of chronic pain resources, so that we may all help each other transform a life of pain into a life of thriving. From chronic pain support groups to group mediations, our community is here is help!
At Mayv, we’re inspired by your resilience
The incredible stories of strength and persistence from our community have shown us there’s no right way to treat chronic pain. We created Mayv to help the next generation of chronic pain sufferers explore new ways to care for their body, condition, and lifestyle.
We believe in empowering you
Integrative healthcare marries conventional medicine with a range of complementary treatment options to help those living with a chronic condition.
At Mayv, we want you to be able to explore these options safely and with the support of health experts and chronic pain patients alike. Yet there’s no real authority on holistic health, and no one to vet them for your specific condition.
So we provide unbiased, science-backed guidance to help make the world of complementary medicine more accessible.
How we do it
We don’t just treat your pain and your condition. We consider how your mind, body, and spirit can contribute to your healing. Our aim is to help you live a fuller, happier life with chronic pain.
Cutting through confusion
From East to West, ancient to in-progress, we study, evaluate, and share the best treatment options, all to help you discover the best ways to manage your condition and take control of your healing.
Guiding you, not deciding for you
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all treatment for chronic conditions—only you know what’s truly best for you. At Mayv, we aim to empower you to make your own choices about what works for you and your lifestyle
A full spectrum of science
We are dedicated to improving your quality of life by tapping into the collective knowledge of integrative health experts and physicians, patient experiences, and the wisdom of our ancestors.
Every day, we promise this to you
Honesty
We pledge to be open and candid about what we know, what we don’t, and where our knowledge comes from.
Compassion
We’re here to listen, lend a hand, and honor every step of your journey.
Community

Transformation
We believe you can change your experiences and your life, and we do everything we can to show you how.

We’re dedicated to you
