Marit's Story: Living with Long COVID
When I first got sick, I had no idea how much my life was about to change. I live in Norway with my husband and two kids, and I’ve always been an active person. I loved hiking, skiing, kayaking, and spending time outdoors.
I was the kind of person who was always on the go, always planning the next adventure.
The Science Behind Long COVID Recovery
In Long COVID, the nervous system can get stuck in a chronic stress response. The issue may be functional rather than structural. Your nervous system may be locked in protection mode, making even normal activities feel overwhelming. This is what keeps symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain cycling.
Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to rewire itself, to help shift out of that stuck state. Instead of just managing symptoms, it works to address what may be driving them. That's where meaningful progress can begin.

What is nervous system retraining?
Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity principles to help your brain and nervous system shift out of a stuck stress response. In Long COVID, the nervous system often gets locked in a protective mode after a viral trigger or prolonged stress. Retraining helps it recalibrate, which may allow your body to start functioning more normally. It's coaching-based, not medication-based.
