My Story
I’m Sheri Cindrich, a women in Long Term Recovery from Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use disorders and Chronic Pain.
“YOUR RECOVERY COACH & PAIN GUIDE”
WHEN PAIN Controls YOUR WORLD
Chronic pain has a quiet way of taking over.
You start planning around it. Bracing for it. Wondering who you are without it.
Sheri knows that when we don’t manage it, it manages us.
For the past 17 years, she has lived with Chronic Neck, Back and Hip Pain, Post Surgical Pain, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Degenertive Disc Disease , Fibromyalgia & Major Depressive Disorder while rebuilding a career in Coaching others with her lived experience . From the outside, things looked successful. Inside, she was working hard just to keep everything together.
Eventually she realized something important: pushing through wasn’t the same as healing.
That realization changed everything.
DISCOVERING A DIFFERENT WAY
Sheri began studying the science of pain, the nervous system and holistic ways to manager her pain in depth. She learned how the brain and body can become highly protective — and how, with the right tools, that protection can soften.
Through structured mind-body work, neuroscience education, and guided behavior change, her pain began to shift. Flares became less intense. Recovery became faster. Her life grew manageable again.
That experience lit a passion inside of her to help others find healing as well.
She trained as a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, Mental Health First Aid/Co Occuring Support Groups Facilatator & currently working towards her National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Certified Pain Management Coach certification. She has also coached within digital health platforms including Reframe.
THE Inception OF Courageous Beginnings
Courageous Beginnings grew from one simple belief:
No one should feel trapped by chronic pain.
Sheri combined her background in lived experience,communication, curriculum design, and facilitation with evidence-based pain science to create a structured program that helps people:
- Calm an overprotective nervous system
- Reduce fear around symptoms
- Build daily regulation skills
- Expand activity and confidence
- Reclaim a meaningful life and your inner excellence
Her approach blends science and compassion. Structure and flexibility. Education and deep listening.
Clients often say they feel understood for the first time — and empowered.
WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
Sheri doesn’t promise a cure all. She offers tools in your tool box of life. Providing Skills and Strategies that work for many others who are living with Chronic pain.
A Partnership where she walks alongside her clients and meets them where they are.
She knows what it’s like to organize life around pain. She also knows what it’s like to slowly expand beyond it.
Courageous Beginnings exists to help you live with less pain and more life fulfillment — not by fighting your body, but by learning how to work with it by living in the moment and accepting was is.
And when the nervous system begins to feel safer, healing begins to shift the trajectory of life for so many.
