Lisbeth Overton helps women break free from the pain of Cervical Dystonia so they can live with more ease, comfort, confidence, mobility, and joy. Her 26 year nursing career was gobsmacked when a rare neurological disorder robbed her of the things she enjoyed and her belief in her capacity to be well. After studying energy, quantum physics, and the power of the subconscious mind she learned how to thrive. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her hubby and 2 cats.

My Story

One evening my hubby and I were sitting on the sofa watching Netflix and my head turned to the left involuntarily and completely out of the blue. I knew at the moment it was definitely abnormal, but I put it out of my mind. Several days passed and I noticed when I would tip my head back to sip my coffee my entire head felt like it would go off track. Then I started noticing my head was pulling to one side and the left side of my neck was stiff. I made an appointment to see my dr and she referred me to a neurologist. When I explained my symptoms he said you have Cervical Dystonia and there is no cure, the only treatment is Botox. When I Googled Cervical Dystonia what I read was you will be anxious, depressed, and in pain. I immediately decided not on my watch and when I returned to my Neurologist for my first appointment to get Botulinum Toxin A injections I excitedly shared that I was going to get started with physical therapy and he immediately replied, “That won’t help you”. I was gutted. How could a provider make such a terrible comment to a patient with a new diagnosis? That is how my Cervical Dystonia journey began.

Luckily I could still do my job as a nurse case manager, however as stressors started to expand in my life it translated into more severe manifestations of this condition. At one point my head was so far tilted to the left with my neck twisting to the right I couldn’t stand up straight. As a result of the restricted mobility and my posture, I had significant pain and I was no longer able to drive a car. I had to get disability accommodations to work from home. This went on for months, stuck like this. Cervical Dystonia had literally become the noose around my neck. My world began to get smaller and smaller and my pain and anxiety about the future began to expand. I was desperate to find a solution to be able to stand up straight and have the freedom to drive a car. Every waking moment was spent trying to figure out how to make this all disappear. No stone went unturned. You name it, I tried it. I even made 8 separate trips to Lincoln, Nebraska to have an oral appliance made to see if that would help my dystonia. That is approximately 432 miles, 6 hours one way from where I live!

What I learned in my search for relief from this noose around my neck was that I was working against my body instead of with it. I also realized that my mind was a crucial player in what was going on in my body. I also learned that it’s never one thing, rather it’s all the little things stacked up in my favor that allow me to thrive.

What I love now is that I have true freedom and have been able to break free from the noose around my neck. This allows me the freedom to drive a car without pain! I can do daily activities like food prep, cleaning, shopping and practicing yoga or walking at my favorite lake with ease and joy. I am so proud of the human I have become as a result of Cervical Dystonia. I love how my mind, body, and spirit show up for me every day in the most loving and divine ways.

Before working with Lisbeth there was overwhelm and lack of control over my circumstances. Also low energy and lots of negative energy. And negative reactions to the chaos and environment around me. 

After working with Lisbeth in her coaching program, I've noticed that I catch myself before I go too deep into wallowing in an emotion or a negative energy. I'll notice it. So that's the first thing is just noticing that there are these behaviors and and actions that I would naturally gravitate toward before that. Now I'm noticing them and they're things that I don't want to do.  I would rather look at things with an eye of gratitude, compassion, creativity and curiosity and in doing that reframing like it's helping me to kind of let go of the need for control to let go of the negative feeling and turn it into something more positive. I'm trying to work through it. The only thing I have control over is myself and I know that and to know that I can control that and now to actually put that into practice. 

Letting go of control, it allows you to be open to more things. I wanted to find calm in the chaos and we’ve added more things to the schedule but it doesn't feel harder to do, it's more fun now and we're able to go for more spontaneity and fun then I would have been ready for before.  I feel like there's more room for the things that I want that I have not made the space for.

I feel like others are noticing but not knowing what it is that's different. I mean we talked about with my mom noticing like oh are you sure you're okay to drive at night? And I'm like yeah, no problem. I don't have anxiety about this. This thing that you know we both use to share this anxiety about driving at night and I'm good now.

It's been surprising how easy it's been to incorporate Into everyday life. I was noticing the shift as it was happening. That draw toward the negative emotion or the negative energy and noticing which pillar is drawing me that way, is it the words I’m using out loud or in my head, am I wallowing in a certain emotion, being able to bring them all together and say ok, I’m noticing it, let it pass through, and move on and try to interact with the world around me in a more positive light. 

In regards to your Dystonia, how has this helped you? I really haven't thought about it and have been busy with other things. We are trying to draw towards the positive energy it's not my top priority.

Before working with Lisbeth I woke up hating to start the day. A very sad person. I felt out of control about everything and stressed about everything. Trying to control it and not able to control it. No matter what it was, business, health, weight, my husband. It didn't matter what it was. I felt like I can't control it. I can't do anything. I can't fix this. I can't control it. Just stress.

After working with Lisbeth in her coaching program, I realized I had a choice! I feel like I have more space. I'm a little more even keeled.  I've noticed I get excited about a few things before it was like I have to do blah blah blah and now it's like oh I wonder what this would be like if I tried this? I think I'm a little bit more compassionate. I do feel like I don't get as antsy or angry, less judgmental. 

What I like best is it makes me want to keep going. It gives me positive reinforcement every time I get some kind of result. Consciously making a choice and feeling good about it. I am okay with it and nothing bad happened. It was like I'm going to do that again. 

I think the big thing is you can hear what I'm saying and explain it back to me in a way I understand what's really going on. That's very helpful and it's very easy to follow what you're saying. So many times you've made a light bulb go off of my head. It's like I get it now and there aren't a lot of people for me that I have that experience with. I like your energy. I think that's very very important. It's a big thing to me to see somebody who has been successful and can share it in a teachable way. 

I can probably tell you anything. I know you're not a therapist.  I think it's because you come with love and compassion. You feel it. That's why it's kind of easy to treat you like a therapist because you feel safe and you feel love coming back from you and I also know that you're a nurse and I feel like nurses always get it for some reason. Nurses are different people. 

The modules you offer. I can go read them. I can watch the videos. I've done both. I've watched the videos and I've read the text. Those resources were good. And even the things you ask me to do on my own I have come to realize are part of the learning experience and it was really a big deal when I recognized things by writing and doing the homework. It was very revealing on a couple of things. I thought that was great. In general, it's been a very successful experience for me. And I think anybody who is open & wants to go down a different path and you're giving them a sign post. And I would tell them to go for it!

Being coached by Lisbeth is something I look forward to every week because I know that each session will include significant support, fun, encouragement, tools to use, and attainable action items for me to implement. Lisbeth is an active and thoughtful listener and her coaching is grounded in experience and science. Her tools and approach help me learn how to tap into and become the best version of myself and curate a more enjoyable, rewarding, and sustainable path. A couple of examples of things that have changed since I began working with Lisbeth are me receiving a proper Cervical Dystonia diagnosis and learning about The Sensory Trick. I am grateful that this weekly program encompasses several months because it takes time to introduce and implement new tools and habits and better allows me to observe my progress.

Before working with Lisbeth I would spin a lot. I would dive deep and resurface alone. I have all these gifts and I dance around them. After working with Lisbeth I have blasted through some stuff I honestly didn’t know was there. I feel more equipped. I’m getting more disciplined in my life and I have more energy. I think the Body Code sessions helped that. I understand the benefits of realizing what my obstacles are. I recommend working with Lisbeth because she's really skilled at what she does, she's open-hearted. And has a background of doing her own work which reflects in her ability to show up where you are and and you can be who you are. Lisbeth is exceedingly comforting energetically and safe. Lisbeth is a master at holding space. I felt met by her. Lisbeth has that healthy inner child and is alive and excited about living in joy. But there's really this sense of vibrating the possibility. Energetically, Lisbeth is radiating joy and I need that.
