Private Brain Retraining Coaching Sessions


private sessions

Vital-Side private sessions add value to your brain retraining practice by working with what you already know, eliminating the techniques that don't work, and reigniting your motivation with specific and achievable goals.

Vital-Side coaches offer a variety of virtual private sessions to help you personalize your brain retraining practice to make it feel more like you.

Vital-Side coaching techniques derive from Lindsay's experience as a PA-C, training in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) to create a simple yet comprehensive approach to coaching brain retrainers. Each coach has been individually trained by Lindsay and brings their natural creativity and flare to their sessions.


Private sessions are intended for Members who have established a daily brain retraining practice.

***If you are not currently a member of a Vital-Side program, you can schedule a 30-minute introductory call with a Vital-Side team member to find out what Vital-Side program is right for you***


75-Minute Virtual Mastermind Session


During your first private session, we focus on getting your questions about your brain retraining practice answered and develop an Incremental Progress Plan for you.

The most common questions asked by fellow brain retrainers are:

  • How do I personalize my practice?
  • How can I make this work for me and my daily routine?
  • How do I incrementally train to reach my goals and find relief from my main symptoms?

During this 75 minute session, you'll receive:

  • Information on how to move forward in your practice, getting all your questions answered.
  • A 4-5 page Progress Plan helping you train to reach your specific goals that you have planned for yourself (we can brainstorm this with you).
  • A follow-up email with what we talked about during our session and an optional recording of our session.

Incremental Progress Plans


Are you looking for an individualized Progress Plan based on your specific goals?

We offer 4-6 page Incremental Progress Plans for sale based on a survey you fill out. In these Plans, we create a step-by-step process on how to train with specific goals you want to achieve. This is for you if you're wanting more info on how to train with more ambiguous symptoms like fatigue, pain, and anxiety.

 This is for Vital-Side members only.  The cost of this Plan is $59.

Follow-Up Brain Retraining Session


Private Sessions

Private Sessions are scheduled after your Mastermind so you can re-connect with a coach and have accountability in your practice.

In these calls, we go through:

  • Additional techniques you may need to improve your practice including more details on old belief systems, breaking patterns of your limbic stress response, retraining your brain to experience safety, state changers to change your physiological response to stress, and structured steps to reach your goals.
  • Questions you have about your Incremental Progress Plan.
  • Strategies to address limiting beliefs or hurdles & challenges you're working on overcoming.
  • Optimizing your daily routine so you feel excited to brain retrain.
  • Tips on how to brain retrain as a busy person, a parent, or a person who is currently bed-bound.
  • Any additional practices you may need to feel motivated to practice.

Bundle of 3 Private Virtual Sessions


Vital-Side Coaches will conduct a deep dive into what works for you and develop a strategic, actionable plan to help you reach incremental goals.


Session 1

This is when you and your coach get to know one another and discuss the challenges you've experienced with brain retraining. Vital-Side coaches are trained to look for pain points in your practice and supply you with additional resources and techniques that make sense for you. You'll likely leave with a way to reboot your practice to feel more connected and reinvigorated by it. You'll spend the next 2-3 weeks reigniting your practice before our next session.

Session 2

Your coach will help you refine your practice, specifically addressing any questions that have come up with yourt new modalities. This session is an opportunity to ask additional questions about your practice, address overused, old pathways keeping you stuck, uncover your core values, or start discussing and revisiting your Incremental Progress Plan. There are many different roads we can take in this session, all depending on where you need additional clarification. We personalize these sessions based on your needs and will always give you a general plan that can always change based on what has come up for you.

Session 3

This last session focuses mostly on how to achieve incremental "mini" goals and find relief from your main symptoms. We will do an Incremental Progress revamp if that is a necessary part of your retraining journey. If not, we will revisit the last couple of months and create a plan that makes sense for you to continue to add inspiration and value to your retraining practice. This can change depending on what's top of mind to you, but you'll always leave with a plan on how to take the next steps into the months ahead.

Mary Jane (MJ) Giesey

MJ is trained as a nervous system coach for Vital-Side after using the practice herself to recover from chronic illness and transform her life. She holds a Master's in Public Health from the University of Michigan and worked as a health policy consultant for several years before becoming sick with Long COVID and ME/CFS in 2020. She was seriously ill for three years - mostly housebound and sometimes bedbound - and had to leave her career behind. Frustrated by the lack of treatment options offered by traditional Western medicine, she tried a wide range of holistic approaches and achieved some stability in her health, but still lived with severe limitations and chronic symptoms. She wanted to recover and live a full life again.

MJ joined Vital-Side, and using the tools from Rewire and Elevate every day, she fully recovered by the end of the year. As she healed, she began building a new life aligned with her values and learning everything she could about neuroplasticity and holistic wellbeing. MJ looks forward to using her professional and personal experience to support others on their journeys toward thriving. Watch MJ's healing journey in this video.
