Lindsay Masvaleix

Hello, I’m Lindsay

For more than two decades, I worked in a fast-paced business world. From the outside, life looked busy and successful — but behind the scenes, I was struggling with persistent and debilitating back pain.

I was given diagnoses including bulging discs, Degenerative Disc Disease, Scoliosis, facet joint issues and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. I tried countless treatments, hoping each one would finally provide the answer, but I continued to struggle.

After around a decade of living with back pain, alongside a number of other symptoms, I discovered a different way of understanding what was happening in my body — the role of the brain, nervous system and neuroplasticity in persistent pain and other symptoms.

That discovery changed my life.

I found SIRPA and, with their support, began to understand my symptoms in a completely different way. Gradually, I rebuilt my sense of safety, confidence and trust in my body. I started moving more freely, doing the things I loved again and, perhaps most importantly, life began to feel vibrant again.

You can hear me share my own recovery story with Georgie here.

That experience led me to become a qualified Life Coach, certified SIRPA Practitioner, Pain Reprocessing Coach (PRT) and Yoga Nidra Practitioner. I’ve also undertaken specialist training in approaches that help people understand the relationship between the brain, nervous system, emotions and persistent symptoms.

Today, I combine this training with my own lived experience to support people who feel stuck in chronic pain and are looking for a different way forward.

How I work

My approach is warm, compassionate and practical. There is no judgement and no expectation that you simply need to “think positively” or push through your symptoms.

Together, we explore the patterns that may be keeping your brain and nervous system in a state of heightened protection — including fear, stress, emotions, beliefs, behaviours and the way you relate to your symptoms.

Using a blend of SIRPA-informed coaching, Pain Reprocessing Therapy principles, nervous-system regulation and life coaching, I help you develop a greater understanding of your symptoms, build confidence and gradually reconnect with the life you want to live.

I know from personal experience how frightening and frustrating persistent symptoms can be — and I also know that a diagnosis or a long history of pain does not necessarily mean that your future has to look like your past.

I work with clients online and in person, and globally with people across the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia and the USA.

If something here resonates with you, I’d love to have a friendly, no-pressure conversation about what you’re experiencing and whether my approach might be a good fit for you.

I look forward to meeting you.
