  • A Life Once Trapped ‘Inside’ Pain Is Now Back ‘Outside’

    Growing up in Montana, Jean Beriault fell in love with the outdoors. 

    Camping, hiking, biking,...she did it all.

    Then she started her career in law enforcement and loved that too.

    (And discovered that many of the 'bad guys' weren't, necessarily, 'bad' but were instead trapped by addiction)

    Over time, though, she began noticing more pain...and more pain...until she ended up somewhere she never thought she would be.

    On high doses of opioids and unable to do the outdoor activities or the job she loved.

  • Beyond ‘Pain Management’ —How To Transform Your Pain & Your Life
    Cindy’s Personal Story of Transformation
    Cindy’s story begins similarly to many others.
    One day she had a headache. Then, over the ensuing weeks and days, she experienced more headaches until, finally, they were constant.
    But while trying to find solutions for them…she continued to get sicker and sicker.
    More physicians led to more prescriptions until she was taking 19 different medications per day.
    More specialists led to more specialists until she was receiving 30+ injections (PER SESSION) and undergoing multiple other medical procedures.
    & More diagnoses (including an autoimmune disorder, a malabsorption syndrome, and an ‘incurable’ chronic pain condition.)
    But no answers.
    Until, one day, while lying in a hospital bed thinking she was going to die she asked, “But what will happen to my horses?”
    And that’s where the story gets interesting.
