Overcoming chronic pain and stress induced illnesses

When I first started working with Lindsay, I had back pain for many years, and after the multiple tests and MRIs I have had done, only the normal aspects emerged (bulging discs, disc degenerative disease, etc) but nothing which could account for my back pain and it’s random patterns –  I had put myself in the box of ‘I am just an anomaly, a medical mystery’ and I need to just live with this.
Lindsay has helped me see that there is another way. Her knowledge is vast, and I feel she has given me the tools, and taught me the techniques to be able to cope with my back issues. It is definitely an ongoing process, but I do feel so much more confident in the way I view my back, and my body in general, particularly in terms of the multiple random pains I would get – knee, hip, shin bone, you name it, I had it at one point telling me that there was a massive problem (there was obviously no problem – and this was proven by implementing the techniques learnt from Lindsay).
As a coach, Lindsay is professional, yet incredibly kind, patient and empathetic and I’m so grateful to her for all of her encouragement throughout. I can highly recommend Lindsay with no hesitation at all.

Prior to Lindsay’s help I had suffered from severe arthritic pain particularly in my knees and lower back. My ability to walk was severely compromised even with a stick. Lindsay worked with me, helping me to understand that physical pain is largely connected to past trauma, the body crying out not only due to physical but also emotional dis-ease .I am now free from pain and my dog and I enjoy a daily walk. I do not need pain medication. I have found peace, and I am now a strong, positive, relaxed woman. Thank you Lindsay and SIRPA for helping me.

“I approached Lindsay for assistance in pain-relief in respect of chronic lower back pain. I am somewhat sceptical about non-mainstream medical treatments, but Lindsay’s personable, friendly, and enthusiastic outlook convinced me to try alternatives to ever increasing doses of painkillers. We had an exhaustive question and answer session in which all aspects of my personal life and circumstances were explored. She introduced me to The Way Out by Alan Gordon, a description of Pain Reprocessing Therapy—thinking your way out of pain. Also, the benefits of regular meditation. The main benefit to me was the adoption of a much more positive mental outlook to the problems and burdens of life and physical deterioration of the body in old age.”

I worked with Lindsay after getting into a pain, anxiety, fear cycle. Lindsay has helped me understand how our minds can keep us in pain and discomfort and taught me useful techniques to help move me away from the cycle and calm my anxiety.

Lindsay has a friendly, calming nature, is compassionate and truly understanding having been through it herself. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
