PAIN RECOVERY COACHING

 

​Unrelenting. Insidious. Puzzling. 

​

​3 words that describe a kind of pain that changes shape, is inconsistent in how it presents, but is consistently present. It can happen in our GI system (functional pain), in our muscles, and in our bones. The way it functions is confusing, changing, and at the end of the day, downright maddening. It makes pain recovery feel impossible.​​​​​

​​

Meet Neuroplastic Pain: a fancy word that would put some providers out of business and doesn't respond to structural treatment. It's only in the last 10-20 years that this enduring pain has been studied with surprising result: Only the nervous system's estimation of and response to threat can create the kind of pain that behaves this way. The good is our nervous system can learn it, we can also unlearn it. 

​

If your pain has:

  • Lasted longer than 3 monthsbe

  • Began without a clear cause or connection or...

  • Continued past a healed injury or normal tissue healing time

  • Changed in where, when and how often it's felt

  • Improved temporarily with distraction or enjoyable activities

​​

If you've been diagnosed with or suspect:

  • Gastrointestional distress and/or IBS

  • Migrane (vestibular, ocular, and/or auricular)

  • Chronic low back and neck pain​​

  • Idiopathic [Nerve] Pain

  • Vertigo

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Sciatica

  • Persistant Pelvic Pain

  • Tinnitus

  • CRPS

  • CFS

  • Long Covid

​

Or, if you've ever:​

  • Had serious pain despite normal labs and diagnostic findings or findings not proporation to the intensity of your pain

  • Been told that "it's all in your head" or psychosomatic from well-meaning medical professionals

  • Experienced trauma

  • Walked away unchanged and defeated from some of the best structural pain treatments and therapies available. 

​

Then you're a good candidate for Pain Recovery Coaching.

The Approach: Pain Recovery Coaching + Yoga Therapy

 

As a life-long functional health coach, Lin pain recovery coach, life coach and yoga therapist, I’m bringing together tools and practices from yoga therapy, new pain neuroscience, experience with a large client population, and a personal experience of chronic pain to create a service that is unlike any mainstream approach available to-date.

 

My work is informed by Alan Gordon, Lin Health, Lorimer Moseley, Dr. Howard Schubiner, Dr. Yoni Ashar, Nicole Sachs, The Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy, Ayurvedic principles, and a lifetime of client conversations and resolved personal chronic pelvic pain.

The secret starts with safety.​​​​​​​
