FAQ & Contact

Pioneers in Pain is an online membership community for adults living with chronic pain — led by someone who has lived it herself for over 25 years. It's a space to feel less alone, get real coaching, and build a life that works despite pain. Not a medical service. Not a quick fix. A community of people walking the same road, led by someone who knows every twist of it.

Anyone living with a long-term or chronic pain condition — fibromyalgia, neuropathy, arthritis, CRPS, back pain, migraines, and more. If you're exhausted, isolated, and feeling like the medical system has left you to figure it out alone, this is for you. No diagnosis is too obscure. No experience is too "much." You belong here.

Most chronic pain communities are moderated by people who learned about pain from a textbook. Lynda has lived it — 25+ years of fibromyalgia and neuropathy, losing her career, her marriages, and her family's support, and coming out the other side. That lived experience is what makes this different. You're not getting theory. You're getting someone who has genuinely been where you are.

No. Pioneers in Pain is a peer coaching community — not a medical practice, not a therapy service, and not a substitute for professional healthcare. Lynda shares her lived experience and coaching to help members navigate daily life with chronic pain. Please continue to work with your doctors and healthcare team.

We have three tiers: Pioneer ($29/month) — community access, resources, and Q&A. Pathfinder ($49/month) — everything in Pioneer plus live group coaching sessions and a private forum. Trailblazer ($97/month) — everything in Pathfinder plus monthly 1:1 coaching with Lynda. Founding Members who join now lock in $19/month for life, at the Pioneer level.

The first 100 people who join get locked in at $19/month for life — a rate that will never increase as long as they stay members. They also receive the exclusive Founding Member badge, the right to help shape the community's direction in its early days, and a permanent place in the Pioneers in Pain founding story. When the 100 spots are gone, this offer disappears permanently.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no guilt trips. You can cancel at any time and your access continues until the end of your paid billing period. We believe you should stay because this community genuinely helps — not because you're locked in.

We offer a 7-day satisfaction guarantee for new members. If you join and within your first 7 days you feel it genuinely isn't for you, reach out and we'll make it right. After that, payments are non-refundable — but you can always cancel before your next billing date to stop future charges.

You'll receive a warm welcome email from Lynda with a few things to read while you wait. When the community officially opens, you'll get a personal invitation before it's announced publicly — giving you first access before any spots fill. No spam, no constant sales emails. Just the real, meaningful stuff.

As much or as little as you have. On a flare day, that might be zero — and that's completely okay. The community is there when you can show up, not demanding that you show up on its schedule. We understand that chronic pain doesn't respect calendars, and this community is built around that reality.

Yes. Live coaching sessions will be recorded and available in the members' library so you can watch at your own pace. We know "live" doesn't always work with chronic pain — a bad day shouldn't mean missing out. The library grows over time and becomes one of the most valuable parts of your membership.

Not at all. If you can use Facebook or email, you can use this community. Everything is designed to be simple and accessible — because we know that brain fog and pain are already things you're managing. If you ever get stuck, reach out and we'll walk you through it personally.

25+ years of living with fibromyalgia and neuropathy — losing her teaching career, her marriages, and her family's support along the way, and surviving. Lynda's qualification is not a certificate on a wall. It's a life fully lived in chronic pain, and the hard-won wisdom that comes from navigating every dimension of that struggle. She understands this from the inside, not the outside.

Yes. This isn't a course you buy and Lynda disappears. She is actively present in the community — engaging with members, leading sessions, and showing up as a real person who also lives with chronic pain. On hard days she'll say so. That honesty is part of what makes this place feel real.

Absolutely. Use the contact form below — Lynda reads every message. If you have a question, a hesitation, or you just want to know if this is right for you before committing, please reach out. There's no pressure and no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation.
