If you’re living with ongoing pain or symptoms that medical tests can’t explain, I understand how confused, hopeless and exhausted you might feel.

​

​

Years ago, I was in that place too.

​

​​

From being very active and healthy, I found myself crippled with pain, tiredness (pain is tiring), sleep issues (pain disrupts sleep), worry (you wonder what could be wrong with you) and fear (of course you’re scared this is your new life now!)

​

​

For a few years, this only kept on getting worse…

​

​

Until one day, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and sent home with a prescription for anti-depressants and a ‘life sentence’ that unfortunately, this condition doesn’t improve with time. I was told I would need to ‘adjust my life’ and learn to ‘live WITH the symptoms!’…

​

​

I guess my family life with two young and lively children at the time, as well as my plans to resume my teaching career, must have been driving my resisting of the finality of that diagnostic, and also my motivation to keep on searching for some solution myself.

​

​

In 2006, not much was to be found on the internet if you researched fibromyalgia, but eventually, I stumbled on Dr Sarno’s work and the mindbody connection concept.

​

​

I was very lucky that it naturally resonated with me, and that it triggered the start of a self-discovering and self-healing journey.

​

​

I am so happy and grateful to be able to say that thankfully, I never ended up having to learn how to ‘live with the pain’, as I learnt how to eliminate it instead. I have been pain-free for over a decade and when old or new symptoms appear (and some will keep on poking their head as I am… only human!), I am able to deal with the situation.

​

 

This empowering experience of learning how neuroplastic pain and symptoms can be managed and often reversed (without the need for medication) had such a profound impact on my personal life that I decided to put my teaching career on hold, and join the growing community of therapists and coaches who help patients lost in the medical world’s blind spot regain their lives. 

​
