Receiving outstanding praise, reviews of Unhackable Soul include:

“I love this radically transformative book!!! As someone who lives with daily chronic pain from CRPS, Unhackable Soul is a roadmap to reclaim your joy and reignite the light within you despite pain! Maureen’s authentic storytelling illustrates how difficult experiences and deep wounds, both mental and physical, are the very things that can gift us a deeper power and resilience if we allow them.  Maureen generously brings us her personal journey and shares her formula for moving through tremendous pain with grit and grace. Run, don’t walk, and grab this book if you live with any kind of pain!”
Amberly Lago – Expert Mindset Coach, TEDx speaker, True Grit and Grace Podcast Host, best-selling author of True Grit and Grace: Turning Tragedy into Triumph.
 
“Unhackable Soul is a resource and guide to achieving a fulfilling life despite chronic pain.  It offers a durable, liveable alternative to pharmacology and interventions. As a physician and surgeon who has worked with chronic pain patients, I whole-heartedly recommend this book for all who may live with chronic pain or disability.  It offers a sustainable path to healthy, balanced well-being instead of a life of drugs, depression, and misery.  In an era of endemic opioids and dependency, it cracks in the light for the pain sufferer on what can be for them and an ever-darkening world.”
Dr Hugh A Gelabert, Physician and Surgeon, UCLA School of Medicine.
 
“As founder and CEO of the Burning Limb Foundation and aware of the crucial role that mind and spirit play in individuals living with chronic pain disease, I highly recommend this book. Maureen’s personal inspirational story and her step-by-step revitalizing daily elixir makes this book a valuable go-to companion and guide for living well with pain and illness. Maureen’s words incorporate ideas that are not just firmly rooted in the truth but also come from a loving perspective that only one who has experienced debilitating illness intimately can bring. Unhackable Soul provides me with yet another tool when working with those who live with chronic illness and is a true blueprint for how not just to live but to thrive.”
Philip Robert, Founder and CEO of the Burning Limb Foundation.
 
“Fantastically uplifting and encouraging from someone who knows what it feels like to experience challenges and still live fully. Maureen’s spirit shines through every page to speak to you and pull you forward. Wonderful!”
Fiona Harrold, Best-Selling Author of Be Your Own Life Coach.

“This book is a fantastic tool for people living with chronic pain on a daily basis. When you are having a bad day grab the book for some tips to lift you up & importantly remember that you are far more than your physical body.” – Louise S.
“Maureen has given purpose to the many years she has suffered with excruciating pain. Her book shares the techniques she has developed to more than cope but to thrive. I can't recommend it highly enough.”– Peter
 
“Whether you have chronic pain or not…there are gems in this book that everyone can tap into. Inspiration on every turn of the page. Thanks Maureen! Stay Blessed.” – Warren Kemp
 
“I'm almost at a loss for words as to how incredibly transformative this book is for helping people with chronic pain. Within the first few pages the author takes you from a place of despair to a deep knowing that life can be magical again. "You are soul and spirit... your physical body is simply... the vehicle you operate through." The book is written in such a way that makes it hard not to want to digest it all in one go, ingeniously dancing between the author's own life experiences and practical daily assignments. Finally, a book that doesn't just bring hope to chronic pain sufferers but a true sense of empowerment. Now I can't wait to get started with the 30-Day online course. Incredible!” – Lynne

This Author’s Health Journey

We all have a story. Every single one of us, whether we write about it or not. My fictional stories are inspired by real-life events, experiences and perceptions, albeit with a little paranormal twist… hey, I like to liven things up a little bit! A big part of my personal story is my health. I am generally a very healthy and happy thirty-eight-year-old woman. I have had two successful pregnancies with very minor complications during labour. But I have been in and out of hospital all my life.

I have a rare genetic disorder called Lymphodoema Distichiasis. You can’t even pronounce it, can you? I had to practice a little when the diagnosis officially came. I carry a recessive gene, called the FOXC2 gene. It means that my body produces anomalies. For me those anomalies include a double row of eyelashes in both eyes. My eyelashes grow on the inside of the eyelid, and they turn in so that they scratch my corneas. I have severe scarring in both eyes, and I have routine minor surgery procedures to remove the extra eyelashes using lasers. In between hospital visits, I pluck the offending eyelashes out with tweezers. Not pleasant. It is very painful and can be very debilitating, but I am not the sort of person to let that get in my way. More recently I have been diagnosed with a chronic pain condition as a result of the distichiasis and Dry Eye Syndrome. The nerve endings on the surface of my eyes are inflamed and make me feel like I have something scratching my eye even when I don’t. It causes a lot of pain, and I never have enough natural tears to ease it.

You see, that is my story. One author, one rare genetic eye disorder. It could have caused me to give up my job, my ability to drive, even my independence, because it got so bad at one point. But I refused to submit to the pain and the discomfort. Instead I sought alternative methods of healing, which brought me to my current training in Reiki. That is a higher vibrational energy healing system that we can all tap into, and I find it incredibly helpful for my health condition. It will also find its way into my stories and has even inspired me to plan some non-fiction books based on my experiences.
