I suffer from migraines and I am always trying to work through and diminish the pain on my own because I don't want my first "go-to" to be reaching for meds. A lot of what I do is through trial and error, however, having "Pain-Free at Last" will be my first course of action. There are so many layers and solutions to solving our pain issues, that I just wasn't aware of until I starting paging through this book.

Cindy is a master and can pinpoint any ailment. I was suffering from a broken heart and was having huge difficulties focusing at work. My body was breaking down and I was not attending to any part of my life. My treatment was nothing short of a spiritual experience.

Thank you for being in my life. I always feel so amazing when I see you. No pain and after I can do everything with no pain and I feel like I used to and I forgot how it feels to have no more pain. If I feel pain now I know what to do to make it get out and away from me. Thank you for guiding me and teaching me. I feel so lucky to have opened myself up to this awareness you are talking about. It is cheaper and different than the ways I have dealt with pain. It is good not bad now. This is the perfect time that you should come into my life. Thank you for just being you.

I affectionately call Cindy my reset button. Regardless of what’s going on in my life, be it stress, back pain, creative blocks or just feeling run down I meet Cindy. when I am a mess and walk away energized, relaxed and inspired. She is the best intuitive healer I’ve ever met, and that is plenty. She has helped me live an abundant, healthier, more well-rounded life.

I'm impressed at how scientifically grounded Cindy's approach is. Through her experience both in helping herself, and others, it's clear that the approaches she uses are both proven and effective. The book is meaty, so don't expect much fluff. She gets to the point about what the situation is, what causes our pain, and what we can do about it. This is NOT a quick fix though. It's not like you read the book, do a few tricks, and all the pain is gone. Cindy's approach is a systematic, long-term approach to healing chronic pain. If you want fast results, go grab more of those pain-killers that with known side-effects... like I've been doing every time I get a headache. If you want lasting results with no negative side-effects, read this book and actually DO what Cindy says. Stay the course and keep with it for the days, weeks, and months to pass. Your body will thank you for it.

I was lifted up and cleansed of my suffering after a session. I was not only OK, I could even feel joy for the first time.

I had this excruciating pain in my heart, chronic pain that comes and goes … so I didn’t want to lie about it and say I am great and fine. Cindy asked me to share about it, she listened and let me talk about 5 minutes..she spoke and my pain was released. She comes from love, understanding, and experiences... She doesn’t talk at you thousands of words a minute like many inexperienced professionals or recite principles and theories like unfeeling coaches. I’ve helped nearly a thousand people in recovery so I am not completely a novice in this area, but her words were both loving, gentle and powerful. I am so blessed to know her.

There are no limits to your health and growth when you spend time with Cindy. She creates a space for you to thrive in no matter what has happened in your life. When you are with her, you learn self-care that allows both healing and growth.

Cindy is truly an angel. She listens intently to you, understands is super friendly and comforting. I was not well when I met her and she went above and beyond. I was blown away that she understood my condition before the doctors did. She even helped me with my diet. When you see her she will change your life.

Amazing, amazing, amazing, Cindy is truly heaven sent. I was ready to call an ambulance but she calmed me down. Run and see her today.

I feel total conscious and totally alive.  My life has changed.

Cindy's years of compiled research helped me to understand what pain is, how to recognize warning signs, and how to process it effectively. Her understanding of pain is extraordinary, and the pain processing principles can be used in place of any type of pharma. If you wish to free yourself from pain and pain killers, this is a Must Read!!

Cindy Olson of Empowered Self Healing is a truly rare, one-of-a-kind coach. She is there whenever I need her: helping me reframe my challenges, providing insightful options I had never considered, and helping me believe in myself – that I can have the power to help heal myself. She has unprecedented knowledge, is undaunted by any challenge, and has an unwavering commitment to her clients that I have experienced firsthand. Because of her, I have learned so much, and have ongoing hope that my path to healing will be a success.

Cindy Olson’s methods helped me to significantly lessen pain and brought me real relief.  I suffer from pressure-related migraines, and Cindy taught me how to use breathing and visualization to lessen or relieve them. She spent time showing me how to breathe and explaining the connection between breathing and pain relief.  Recently, I crushed part of my finger in a restaurant. I began to go into shock and experienced a lot of pain. As soon as I remembered Cindy’s breathing techniques, I began breathing deeply, as she had instructed me, and including a visualization she had previously suggested I try out.  After about a minute and a half of following Cindy’s breathing and visualization methods, with no medication, the pain from my crushed finger decreased by 90%.  I came out of shock and was able to function again quickly.  As a result, I experienced first hand that pain is not something to fear, because my body has a natural way to turn down the pain volume when I need it to.  I truly appreciate Cindy’s help and know I will rely on her methods in the future.

Great book, it enabled me to get rid of my plantar fasciitis inside a couple of weeks.

The pain management techniques that Cindy has taught me have been a great help with severe headaches and various body pains. In particular, deep slow breathing helps the body relax and deal with the pain; instead of trying to ignore the pain, recognizing and “breathing into” the pain helps to dissipate it. She also taught me to make use of gentle massage in the case of headaches, and to use very light pressure on various areas of the head instead of rubbing the painful area. Relaxation is key in dealing with pain, and Cindy is familiar with a wide range of relaxation methods, such as breathing, touch, sound, posture, smell and visualization. I use some form of pain management technique that I learned from Cindy on an almost daily basis, and can’t recommend her help too highly.

I just got done reading Pain-free at last and I really like your solution to pain without medication although I never had chronic pain, I realize that I handle pain just like you subscribe, so I highly recommend your process, great book.

Cindy Ann Olson's introduction to living pain-free without medication or surgery is a comprehensive and detailed outline that empowers the reader to take their chronic pain by the reins. From her clear and easy to understand explanations of pain processes and how to overcome them, it is obvious that Olson is an expert on pain, especially from experience. The passages about chronic back pain and how important early treatment were a wake-up call for me. I've been dealing with back pain for years but figured I couldn't do anything about it and resolved to just deal with the pain since it's not debilitating or anything, but now I'm considering making a doctor's appointment to think of options. I really recommend this book for anyone struggling with prolonged pain. I'm not usually into self-help or health books, but Pain-Free At Last had me reading to the end
