Lorrie Rivers
Lorrie Rivers is the founder of Living From Inspiration and the creator of the Relief & Transformation: Managing Long Covid and ME/CFS online Course. Lorrie has been coaching people around the world with post viral syndromes such as ME/CFS and now Long Covid for 20 years.
After healing from severe ME/CFS that kept her housebound and bedbound for 8+ years in her 20s, Lorrie began coaching others in the tried and true methods that had helped her. She recognized there were some things to DO and things to NOT DO in order to recover and/or live a full life within the illness. Through her own experience and from working with hundreds of clients, she developed the step by step Relief & Transformation program, which is what she wished she had so many years ago.
In addition to her Holistic and Well-Being coaching practice, Lorrie is also a best-selling co-author with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer, an RYT500 yoga instructor, a charter Healing Codes + Trilogy Energy Medicine coach, and a medical intuitive.
Lorrie also created the Yoga + Strength Training for Long Covid and ME/CFS online program, which allows you to move your body without slowing down recovery or crashing.
