GB“Return, Restore and Renew” I’ve had anxiety all my life and have always believed I am “hard-wired” to be a worrier. As a result stress has been my greatest health robber. It shows up as anger when life does not go as expected. It shows up as pain in my back, hips and in my scoliosis curve. It shows up as intensified OCD behaviors that started in childhood, checking so many things in the house before bed and whenever I leave the house. It’s an exhausting and unhealthy way to live. Layer on that life’s “traumatic” events since 2019: my long-time (42 years) life partner’s stroke; his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s; his move to Assisted Living; and the pandemic. I joined and just completed Linda Downey’s group “Return, Restore and Renew” program. Linda is a phenomenal coach! She has a wealth of knowledge, and created a safe group space. She has a unique and powerful way of presenting information and tools for changing old automatic thinking and behavior patterns. With Linda’s guidance I now have new insights and tools for responding instead of reacting to life’s challenges. I’ve been able to release a lot of anger, judgment, fear, anxiety, old belief patterns, and the negative emotions stuck in my body. I feel better emotionally and physically. I have more energy. I am able to problem-solve with others with more clarity and flexibility. My OCD behaviors are a work in progress and much less intense. I have moved from wanting to force and control outcomes to being open to possibilities. I look forward to my weekly nature walks and conversations with my loved one. Instead of feeling sad, they have become fun and a powerful way for us to connect with each other. I am so grateful to Linda for helping me move forward at this stage of my life, towards healing what needs to be healed, joy and peace of mind.

GBFeeling Better Everyday! Linda is such an amazing coach. I started the the Return, Restore, Renew class feeling stuck and carrying the weight of the world. What I learned, and learned to practice, improved my relationship with my husband, my kids and most importantly with myself! I am excited about what the future holds now and don't feel I have to settle or continue to do everything for everybody. I highly recommend Linda Downey and her classes/coaching.
