I have been training adults, children and young people full-time in the Lightning Process® since 2007. I have coached many 100s of people with ME/CFS and a range of other conditions with Lightning Process® and other techniques which utilise the mindbody link to create change. 

​​

For 14 years, I lived with severe, end-of-moderate ME/CFS. Most days, I spent 6–8 hours in bed. The rest of the time, I was largely housebound - carefully managing energy and living within very tight limits. Life was small, unpredictable, and shaped by symptoms. I walked with a stick, used a wheelchair to go more than short distances  And then I got better ......

​

Within a couple of weeks, I was able to walk distances outside with no stick
Within a month, I was cycling into town
Within a year, I had finished a training course, and  returned to full-time work and a much fuller life.

For me, this wasn’t just about getting back to “normal.”
It was about being me again.

​

I do this work because I understand how real and limiting these symptoms can be.

My approach is science-informed and compassionate, and recognises the complex interaction between brain, body and our lived experience.

​

Emerging research shows how the nervous system can become sensitised, and how learned patterns in the brain can contribute to ongoing fatigue, pain, and post-exertional malaise (PEM). This isn’t about symptoms being imagined - it’s about understanding how protective processes in the body can become persistent.  With the right support, those patterns can begin to change. And when they do, people often find there is infinitely more possibility than they first thoght.
