How it started
I was in my late 20s and fully embracing life. I had a successful career as a project manager, I loved being active and had a busy social life. I thought life was great!
​
There were a few early warning signs that things weren't quite right. But I carried on, thinking it would pass. Then one day I woke up, and I couldn't stand up. The whole world was spinning around me and from then my body stopped functioning properly. Life suddenly ground to a halt. I wasn't able to work and was often housebound.
After a few months I was diagnosed with a chronic condition called CFS/ME. I had endless days where my legs couldn't hold up my body weight. I had to go up stairs on my bum, and hold onto the walls and furniture to get around my house. Anyone who knows the condition will be familiar with the range of different and confusing symptoms. It was awful and completely devastating for life to crumble around me. This went on and got progressively worse over a period of about 18 months.
My Story
Things got better
"Could this really help my condition that was affecting me so physically?"
"It felt incredible to have my health and life back"
Mainstream medicine offered support with managing the condition, but there wasn't a solution for full recovery. There are many people who are ill with CFS/ME for decades. I felt like I had my whole life still ahead of me and I was determined I would somehow find a way to get better.
After trying various alternative approaches, I did a lot of research and I found something called the Lightning Process. This is a programme that rewires your brain to influence your health, and had helped thousands of people in a similar situation to the one I was in. I was cautiously optimistic as I’d heard lots of success stories, but it seemed too good to be true. How could this really help a condition that was affecting me so physically?
​
I did the programme, and worked consistently at implementing the techniques, and sure enough in time I got better. I was able to walk properly again, and before I knew it I was walking my dog for miles and miles, and then up mountains!!
I am absolutely delighted to say that since then I have been fully recovered. I love being active, going on long walks, practising yoga, running, swimming, and socialising as much as I choose to! I got my health and life back. I could not be more grateful and appreciative of being able to do all the things I love, and in an even better and more fulfilling way than before.
Since then
It might sound like a cliché, but this experience really changed my life. As a result I felt passionate about others having the tools to overcome similar challenge. So I decided to change career and train to become a Wellbeing Coach. I am now a Lightning Process® Practitioner and clinically qualified in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching and I love what I do.
I am equipped to support others facing challenges with chronic issues. Ideally I'd love to help before someone reaches the point of burnout, but for anyone at this point already, rest assured, there is a way out of it.
