My PCP referred me to LIN Health to help deal with major post-operative pain. While I admit I was skeptical at first, I am so glad he did. The program explained the science behind their process early on, and as it made sense I opened my mind. The material in the "care kits" was outstanding -- an excellent mix of text, graphics, videos, and exercises in easy to understand language. Coach Bernadette also provided supplemental materials that she felt would address my current needs. She welcomed my questions and on the rare occasion when she needed to research something, she always came back with the answer. Coach Bernadette has the perfect nature and personality for this type of coaching -- empathetic, encouraging, and easy and enjoyable to talk to. I looked forward to my sessions with her. The techniques LIN uses really do work to calm the nervous system and help rewire the brain to deal with pain differently. I feel that I can carry many of them over into my post-LIN life to deal with stress and nerves, as well. Thank you LIN, and Coach Bernadette.

This program has been amazing and has gone far beyond what I expected. I’ve learned so much about how chronic pain works, and how my thoughts and experiences affect the pain I feel. I’m only a few months into the program, and my pain has improved a bit. But what has surprised me most is how much better my life feels overall. I’m happier (everyone around me can tell), I have better tools for handling difficult situations, and when pain does show up, it doesn’t take over in the same way and it doesn’t seem to last as long. Through this program, I've developed skills that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Honestly, anyone could benefit from this program, but if you’re living with chronic pain, I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Claims to literally teach you to ignore brutal torture. Like pain can be ignored with a few simple tricks. Regardless of your condition they will be able to treat it all. Which we know is laughable because no one can make you immune to the effects and feelings of pain. Turns out their treatment is hiring "kind facing" coaches who are trained to act like your confidant and share your pain and they will teach you how to ignore it. Breathing techniques and mental exercises and boom, pain gone. Always be wary of people who promise too much. At best they act like video chat babysitters for old people who are, you know, getting old and that is a painful experience. So having someone who you can trauma dump on multiple times per month to and feel "heard" will give you a business model. Congrats on being the first of many soon to be expanding US psych services (dipped and glazed in capitalism) pushing people to outsourced coach based pysch services. Pain coach, Rent a Family Member, Buy-a-Friend, all things psychiatric medicine will promote as healthy and should be mandatory.

Has helped me a lot already!

I had been in constant pain for over 2 years. I was desperate, so I signed up. I had tried everything that came up that might help. Why not one more? By visit two, I was able to deal with and better understand my pain. The tips and tricks that Coach Monroe gave me helped me make progress! It isn’t a cure all or magic pill. It takes work and commitment. But it has been the only thing that has truly worked! I have only been working with Coach Monroe a few months, but the progress I have made has been amazing! I feel better than I have in years! I have more energy and am not constantly depressed. I am moving again too!! I still have a long way to go, but am SO VERY HAPPY I gave Lin a try. Best decision I have made for myself in years. Sandi H

Great educational content and coaching to help you better understand pain and how to reduce it by down-regulating your nervous system and breaking the pain-fear-pain cycle.

Coach Olga has been an awesome coach with much compassion and empathy. I appreciate her knowledge and support.

After 3 failed foot surgeries, I was in a very dark place both physically and emotionally. I had experienced severe, chronic pain for many months. Then I started working with Coach Annie at Lin Health. She has taught me many coping tools that are very helpful in calming down my nervous systems. She has also worked with me during our weekly sessions and helped me to see my situation with compassion and positivity, rather than fear and anger. In addition, the Lin Health program offers many online resources, videos, and lessons that can be accessed between the actual therapy sessions. I am truly grateful for the Lin Health program, and especially, Coach Annie.
