Jodi’s story: From the cliff’s edge back to solid ground
I have been very athletic my whole life, I was a judo competitor for 18 years, loved working out, and walking my dogs. It all became impossible because of the pain.
I had three orthopedic surgeries within a year, and developed CRPS. I had excruciating pain all over my body, even my hair hurt, I felt like it was on fire.
I found a clinic that specializes in CRPS, but there was a year-long waitlist and I was near the cliff emotionally. I didn’t want to try ketamine, narcotics, or injections, but the pain was really bad.
I was searching for ways to reduce my pain, I found pain reprocessing, which led me to Lin.
I was at the edge of a cliff when I found Lin.
I began working with my coach and it was amazing. It’s like she knows what I need before I even need it.
The team was so understanding and helpful, they have been so compassionate and encouraging.
I felt really heard, my experience with Lin was the complete opposite of my experience with the healthcare system.
It brought my life a whole new level of access that was simply unavailable to me before.
Learning that chronic pain is my primary diagnosis changed my life. I learnt about the mind-body interaction and how the fear cycle works, it made a huge difference in my life.
It increased the quality of my life, both physically and mentally, my life has changed tremendously.

- Favorite science fact: If my brain can learn pain, it can most certainly unlearn it.
- Fear-busting thought: I can take a step back and not dive into the pain cycle. I can observe, be curious, and not judge myself for the pain. If there’s an emotional cause for a flare-up, I can use my tools to handle it.
- What I’ve put in place of pain: I’m back in my music studio, my art, I’m back to exercising, and enjoying life.
