Lisa’s Story: I can smile again

I lived with fibromyalgia and other symptoms for 25 years. I wouldn't describe it as a life or living. A hug hurt, smiling hurt.

By the time I started Lin, I was ready to be well.

I was at a point where you could have told me to stand on my head, and if I thought it would work, I would've done it. I was in the emergency room every two weeks or so. It was absurd to me. I didn't understand. And it was getting worse and worse.

Then came Lin, offering a new approach. The first thing I learned with Lin is that my brain controls most of my pain, and it's up to me to regulate my nervous system. I learned how to develop new neural pathways in order to change the way my body reacts to pain.

I haven't been to the ER for almost a year.

Lin set my arrow on a straight path toward my target - freedom from pain & overall wellness.

But it was hard work, holding that arrow in place. There were lots of challenges that threatened to throw me off course. I had a lot of childhood trauma to work through. Lin showed me how to allow space for the hard things and gave me the tools to do the work. 

The thing about Lin that really moved the needle for me was my coach, Shannon.

Since I started the brain-first approach with Lin my life is full. I am no longer a victim.

I feel I have control over my mind and my body. I have a life now. I can smile. I can accept a hug, and it doesn't hurt.

To anyone who is considering Lin, I say, “Try it!” You really have nothing to lose but pain.
