Why Choose Lorelei?
I am a former Registered Physical Therapist of 25+ years of experience, specialising in treatment of traumatic brain injuries, dizziness and imbalance. I became ill for years with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was bedridden 23 hours per day. I recovered using neuroplasticity-based brain retraining techniques over a 4 year period. I have now spent over 3 years researching and getting certified as a Coach in different brain retraining techniques. I am a Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy Coach, Certified Positive Neuroplasticity Coach, Certified Medical Exercise Specialist, Certified Cognitive Behavioural Life Coach, Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Health/Wellness/Pain Science Educator and Coach.
I have over 7 years of experience on this journey and am excited to help others, raise awareness of brain retraining techniques and to seek research opportunities and research partners in this area.
I have finished writing an 8 week PRT and Brain Retraining Workshop to bring neuroplasticity based treatment techniques to a wider audience. Check on my SERVICES page for details and my SHOP page for more details, read reviews and to purchase. For those who have done other brain retraining programs, it is possible to purchase the second half of the 8 week workshop alone for a deeper look at brain retraining such as rewiring core beliefs, self compassion, erecting self care boundaries, allowing emotions, assertiveness, using the body to calm the mind and choosing a vision for your life.
As of October 2023, my individual coaching practice is full. I am taking a wait list but cannot give an approximate wait time.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Lorelei has done the deep work during her personal healing journey and because of that, she is able to share her wisdom and insights to help others. She clearly explains the neuroscience behind why and how people go into fight, flight and freeze response, and offers helpful information and techniques that are easy to process and implement. She further explains the science behind why her suggestions work. I’m always impressed by how intuitive she is. She is able to tune into my needs and offer specific tips and strategies based on what I’ve shared. Each time I meet with Lorelei I feel seen, heard, validated and cared for. ” M. O.
“ I cannot say enough about how much Lorelei and PRT (pain reprocessing therapy) has helped me in my recovery from a chronic pain problem. I spent over a year unable to be active, and my everyday life was centered around my pain. My world was shrinking as I became more and more entrenched in the pain. Lorelei has guided me, using PRT and brain retraining, to regain control over my life and given me the toolkit to help me move forward. I encourage anyone suffering from chronic pain to try PRT/brain retraining with Lorelei. It has made such a huge difference in my life.” S.N.
“Lorelei is the most amazing coach I have ever worked with. She is very empathetic and meets your body/limbic system right where you are at. Her intelligence combined with kindness and compassion is second to none! She is open to all different types of modalities as well. Listens to every word you say and gives such validating responses. She’s the complete package as a coach!” K.Q.
