After suffering from COVID-19 for six months and then experiencing a severe reaction to the vaccine, Cherrie’s life was turned upside down. Once an active, social person with a busy career, she suddenly found herself battling neurological symptoms, debilitating brain fog, and overwhelming fatigue that left her housebound and, for a time, bed-bound. However, Cherrie’s story about healing from Long COVID is one of resilience and hope—a story that offers inspiration to anyone navigating the complexities of Long COVID.
“I went from being a person who was always on the go, organizing events, working, and socializing, to someone who could barely leave the house,” Cherrie recalls. “It was emotionally and physically draining. I was lucky to have the support of my family and my husband, but I felt isolated and lonely.”

The Challenges of Long COVID
Cherrie, like many people with Long COVID, experienced a wide array of symptoms, including severe neurological issues and brain fog. These ongoing symptoms made daily tasks like preparing meals or maintaining relationships incredibly difficult. The drastic shift from her previously active life to one of inactivity was overwhelming, both mentally and physically.
Cherrie’s story echoes the experiences of many Long COVID patients who report a mix of symptoms such as chest pain, joint pain, muscle pain, and difficulties with the autonomic nervous system. According to research, symptoms of Long COVID can last more than a year, affecting everything from heart health to mental well-being. “It was hard to reconcile the fact that I, someone who was always positive, could end up feeling so down and stuck in this state,” she reflects.
The Turning Point: Discovering Neuroplasticity
After trying various therapies, such as ozone therapy, energy healing, and acupuncture, Cherrie found herself still struggling. While each treatment provided some relief, none offered the breakthrough she sought. That was until she discovered the re-origin program, which focuses on neuroplasticity—a method of retraining the brain to heal itself.
“It wasn’t until I found re-origin that I started seeing real, significant shifts,” Cherrie shares. “The program is easy to follow and helped me understand the brain in a way that made sense. The tools they offer are practical and can be used anywhere. It was the first time I felt like I had a real solution to this ongoing illness.”
A Program That Changed Everything
Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, became a lifeline for Cherrie. The re-origin program provided step-by-step videos and tools to retrain the brain to address physical and emotional symptoms. For Cherrie, this approach was not only accessible but also profoundly life-changing.
“I was inspired from the start to give it my all,” she says. “After just one month of following the program, I saw improvements I hadn’t experienced in over a year. I could finally move around the house, go outside, and participate in life again.”
Her experience reflects the growing recognition of the brain’s role in healing from complex conditions like Long COVID. Symptoms such as brain fog, chest tightness, and muscle pain can often feel intractable, but re-origins offer hope by helping individuals harness the brain’s capacity for healing.
A Gradual, Steady Recovery
Six months into the program, Cherrie describes herself as “85% of the way there.” Her life has dramatically changed. She is back at work, socializing with friends, and even exercising again—something that once seemed impossible.
“One of my biggest wins was going for a five-minute run. It may sound small, but for me, it was huge. Running had always been a source of release for me, and being able to do it again was an incredible feeling,” she says with pride.
The Power of Community
Beyond the tools and videos, Cherrie attributes much of her healing to the supportive community she found through the program. “Being part of the group coaching sessions was transformative,” she shares. “We celebrated each other’s wins, and I felt a genuine connection to everyone. It wasn’t like other support groups I had been a part of—this one was filled with positivity, encouragement, and real progress.”
Cherrie’s experience highlights the importance of community support for those battling Long COVID and other chronic health conditions. The isolation many people feel can be overwhelming, but being part of a community that understands and uplifts, you can make all the difference.
Moving Forward with Hope
Cherrie is filled with gratitude and hope as she looks to the future. “The program has changed my outlook on health entirely,” she reflects. “Even before I got sick with COVID, I was someone who worried a lot about my health. I feel empowered to take control in a way I never thought possible.”
Her story is a testament to the body’s incredible ability to heal when given the right tools and support. Cherrie’s journey offers hope for those still struggling with Long COVID symptoms: healing is possible.
“I can’t recommend the program enough,” she says. “It’s given me back my life.”
A New Chapter: Embracing Life Beyond Long COVID
Cherrie’s journey through Long COVID is more than just a story of recovery—it’s a story of rediscovery. She’s found strength in her challenges and resilience in her darkest moments, emerging with a renewed sense of hope and purpose. “I’ve come out of this stronger and more connected to myself than ever before,” she says.
For those who are still suffering, Cherrie’s experience shines a light on what’s possible. Healing from Long COVID may seem like a distant dream, but with the right support, mindset, and tools, it’s within reach. Cherrie’s story reminds us that no matter how long the road, recovery isn’t just about returning to where you were—it’s about building a new, even stronger version of yourself.
