What is the Lightning Process?
Originally designed by Dr Phil Parker, the Lightning Process® (LP) is a practical training programme not a therapy, not a talking cure, not a medication. It teaches you a set of skills that use the connection between your brain and body to influence your own health.
Using gentle movement, mental exercises, and meditation-like techniques, you learn how to shift the patterns your nervous system has got stuck in – switching on pathways that promote health, and interrupting ones that are keeping you unwell.
It sounds simple. The science behind it is anything but.
The science behind the Lightning Process
Why your body gets stuck and how the LP helps
When you’ve been ill for a long time, your nervous system has often learned to stay in a state of high alert. This is your body’s Physical Emergency Response (PER) – the same “fight or flight” system designed to protect you from short-term threats.
The problem is that when this response stays switched on for months or years – triggered by illness, stress, or life events – it causes real biological damage that builds up over time. Researchers call this allostatic load. It disrupts sleep, immunity, healing, and energy. It’s not in your head. It’s measurable. And it’s changeable.
The LP works by teaching your brain to interrupt this response and build new, healthier neurological pathways. This is neuroplasticity in action – your brain’s remarkable ability to rewire itself through new patterns of thought and behaviour. Learn more about the science behind the LP here.
Is it backed by research?
Yes. There are 18 peer-reviewed papers published over 27 years, including an NHS & University of Bristol Randomised Controlled Trial – the gold standard of medical research – which found the LP to be effective and safe. Read the research papers here.
A 2025 study evaluated the LP for Long COVID and found all participants made significant improvements.
90% participants reported being 85% back to normal or more
85%
It concluded: ‘The Lightning Process is a promising and safe intervention for symptoms of long COVID. Primary care clinicians can refer patients for treatment with a high chance of benefit without fear of harm.’
Hi I’m Liz Allen
I’m an Aussie beach-loving salsa dancer, Advanced Lightning Process® Practitioner, Master NLP Practitioner and coach.
In 2017 I contracted a virus which led to chronic fatigue. I was left house bound, had to quit my job in fashion design and spent the next 9 months trying everything I could to recover.
Things changed dramatically when I learnt how to retrain my brain and body to heal. I made a swift recovery and I got my life back.
This profound experience inspired me to retrain in the UK in NLP, Hypnotherapy and Coaching, specialising in the mind-body connection so I could help others.
I’m living proof that healing is possible and now I coach and train others how to do the same.
Transform Your Response. Take Back Control. Rebuild Your Life.
How the Lightning Process works
I teach the Lightning Process over three consecutive half-days online over Zoom or in-person (typically in small groups or tailored one-to-one).
You’ll be guided through:
How and why your recovery stalled and, importantly, what you can do to resolve this.
How to identify and interrupt unconscious patterns that are keeping you stuck
How to build new neurological pathways that promote health and healing instead
Reinforcing these new neurological pathways to ensure these stick.
The tools of the Lightning Process involve gentle movement, mediation-like techniques and mental exercises.
By putting these tools into practice, you’re able to change the way your nervous system responds to stimulus; switching on new neural pathways which stimulate better physiology, so you can reset your body’s innate healing systems.
Client outcomes
Lightning Process participants typically report:
✔ Improvement in fatigue, increased energy and physical capability
✔ Improved clarity of thought, enabling them to get back to work or study
✔ Reduced intensity of symptoms leading to recovery
✔ Greater confidence in managing everyday challenges
✔ Enhanced capacity to return to meaningful activities, such as exercise, socialising, or work.
Success in this programme depends on consistent application of the tools learned and an openness to engaging with the training process.
Before coming to the Lightning Process most people have already tried lots of things to recover. If you are wondering if recovery is even possible, one of the best things you can do is read the countless success stories of others.
Success Stories
“I went from being stuck in a cycle of fatigue, high heart rates, not wanting to socialise or get out of bed to completing an ironman in 4 months.
I learnt so much about myself in that period of time and I still use what I learnt to help me now.”
— Sally
“Since the training, I’ve completely recovered. I feel better than I remember feeling before I got chronic fatigue, which is just absolutely amazing!
I’ve also use the process to help recover from a quite severe intolerance to gluten which has absolutely changed my life. I can drink beer and go the pub and order a parmy, which is just like the BEST feeling!!”
— Grace
“I feel physically stronger, mentally sharper, and have a much kinder and more compassionate way of relating to myself throughout the day.
I am grateful to Liz for guiding me through the Lightning Process and introducing me to tools I can rely on for the rest of my life.”
Learn the skills to transform your health and wellbeing from the inside-out.
STEP 1: Home study audio
Your first step is listening to Part 1 of the Lightning Process®, an interactive home study audio (around 4 hours). It covers the science, helps you spot when your nervous system is working against you, and — most importantly — helps you decide whether this approach feels right for you.
It’s the beginning of understanding what’s been happening in your body, and what’s possible.
STEP 2: Apply
Complete the online application form; then book your 1:1 onboarding coaching call with Liz. This Zoom call is designed to ensure the training is the right fit for you.
There are 4 stages in the Lightning Process® Programme
STEP 3: 3-day seminar
The live seminar runs over 3 consecutive half-days (3–5 hours each), either online or in person, in a small group or 1:1.
You’ll learn how language, movement, and mental rehearsal affect your brain pathways and physiology. I’ll show you exactly how you can influence your own nervous system state.
You’ll practice applying the LP tools and receive personalised coaching feedback. And most importantly you’ll begin to feel the difference.
STEP 4: Follow-up coaching
After the seminar, you’ll receive 3 months of ongoing support and 3 follow-up coaching sessions to help you embed the LP tools into daily life.
This is when the real change accelerates.
Applying the LP tools, people are able to improve remarkably and get back to work, being with their families and doing the things they love.
“Research suggests the mind-body connection might be medical science’s biggest breakthrough – the Lightning Process teaches you how to use it.”
- Dr Phil Paker
Is the Lightning Process right for you?
This training is ideal for people who:
✔ Are ready to take an active role in their health journey
✔ Want to learn science-aligned methods to influence their nervous system
✔ Are committed to practicing skills outside of the training sessions
Because the LP is a training, not a treatment, success in this programme depends on consistent application of the tools learned and an openness to engaging with the training process.
If you’re unsure whether this makes sense for you, I offer a no-obligation consultation to explore your goals, symptoms and expectations.
“The Lightning Process changed my life and I couldn't recommend it more highly”
"I did the Lightning Process with Liz in December 2019, in order to deal with chronic fatigue, which I had for 6 years. I had tried doctors, specialists, medication, supplements, diet and a fatigue clinic without significant improvement to my symptoms.
Before I did the programme, I was sceptical - I was sure that it wouldn't work for me even if it had worked for others. I was completely blown away by how effective the programme was. I felt more energetic after the first day and my family couldn't believe how much I had changed. On the second day of the seminar, I went for a run, which was something I had only dreamed of doing before.
Liz is an excellent teacher. She made me feel comfortable with the process, answered all my questions, was incredibly kind and supportive and wanted me to succeed.
The Lightning Process changed my life and I couldn't recommend it more highly. It's the best thing I've ever done for my health and wellbeing."
— Maria
