HYNDBURN Long covid peer support programme
What is the Long Covid Peer Support Programme?
This is a free, flexible programme for people in the Hyndburn Borough with long covid. Designed to help you manage your long covid symptoms more effectively. Learn to listen to your body and slow down and accept your recovery journey.
Attend a weekly peer support group via zoom from the comfort of your home. You will also have lifetime access to guided videos, and relaxing audios to help your body systems to recover at their own pace.
if you’ve had long covid, like me, you’ll know about the overwhelming tiredness, the headaches, lack of sleep, panic attacks and many other symptoms, that can seem unexpected, that come with this virus. It isn’t a 12 week experience for many.
People who have been on the course found the experiences of other people who’ve also had longcovid very useful.
And then, of course, there’s the physical and emotional benefits too.
I’ve experienced the positive effects from taking this programme, as have others, which is why I honed and refined it to share the benefits and help you.
If you are suffering from Long-Covid but are located outside of the Hyndburn area, then please get in to touch to see how we can help you.

A little bit about me
I contracted the COVID-19 virus in March 2020, fortunately I am now fully recovered. I did struggle with many long-term symptoms that affected my health for most of last year.
I was very fortunate in being a trained therapist and meditation expert, I developed my own relaxation practices to support the multiple body systems.
Benefits
It’s not a quick fix – it’s not intended to be – but it does give relief and hope and an opportunity to be with others who understand you. (No medical advice is given, note our disclaimer on the website).
I’ve experienced the positive effects from taking this programme, as have others, which is why I honed and refined it to share the benefits and help you. Case Studies
