You may wonder why I am doing this work and what qualifications I have? I think I have the greatest qualification of all and that is the full experience of the condition. Over a four year period I encountered virtually every symptom a sufferer could have, some severely. I feel I have a lot of understanding of what the illness is about, on all levels because of my own personal experiences.

Through my training for teaching dyslexic children and adults, I have learned to counsel and above all, to listen and empathise with those who have problems. Through Healing I have learned to give and receive Unconditional Love and to live in the present moment, whatever that might offer.

A good Analogy for the illness is when it is at its worst, you see yourself at the bottom of a sheer cliff with a hundred tiny hand and footholds to use to get to the top. The was is not straight forward of course. Sometimes we have to move sideways and often we have to go down at the same timeuntil we see a more suitable path. Many people try things out and because they do not get to the top of the cliff immediately, they stop doing them and of course, there they are at the bottom again, their hopes dashed. Once I dropped this idea and stopped looking for results all the time and just did something because it was a beautiful thing to for my body, I made much better progress.

M.E. is a syndrome with numerous facets which will be different for each sufferer even though the broad spectrum of symptoms remain the same. My aim is to help you to understand what is happening to your body, and they assist you to learn what what you need to do to move to wellness. All Healing is ultimately Self Healing and this is simple Unconditional Love, which you can give to yoirself in full measure. Remember that even though you are ill, you are still a beautiful person and you deserve every support from yourself and certainly not critisism.

I am very interested in nutrition because having a clean diet and supporting with the correct supplements is very important. There may well be other underlying problems like Candida which are causing the M.E. symptoms. which need to be addressed. I am also conducting research into the effect on Chronic Fatigue of Drinking large amounts of water and the results so far are promising. Without doubt Hydration is a key step to getting better.

This is an illness that you need to look at in terms of energy systems. Your energy is blocked on all levels, and you need to understand where the blockages are before you can remove them.

These can appear on physical, mental, emotional and spirtual planes, but wherever you begin to unblock it does npt matter, because all the other levels will be affected for the good.

I am particularly interested in the emotional and spiritual nature of the illness and M.E. is a perfect place of exploration for this. Many people I have met who have this condition, are extremely sensitive people. Their bodies find it difficult to cope and so they run away from their sensitivity because they fear all the emotions that are being thrown up. Just experience everything without judgement. There are no good and bad emotions, only expressed and unexpressed ones. Every time we repress an emotion, it is lodged in our bodies and causes a blockage and when there are enough energy blockages they manifest as an illness. When we overdo things, the energy begins flowing, tries to surge through the blockage and it is dislodged as the origina emotion. If you are afrai of it, as all of us areto begin with, it gets repressed again underneath the fear, which also blocks energy. But if you welcome it into the open and let it go, your body is freed and your energy will flow better.

Any system which encourages the flow of 'chi' will start to shift blockages, and good nutrition and drinking adequate amounts of water are two of them, as are homeopathy, kinesiology, healing, reflexology, massage, yoga, accupuncture, tai chi and many more.

I am very much aware of the financial restrictions that many people, who have this illness, are under. Therefore my costs are purposely very reasonable and will be given on request. Each session will include a Healing treatment to balance and relax the body. This is a very important part of the work, because after a Journey and the efforts of talking, the body will need to recuperate before you set off home. You should find it relaxing. Learning to relax is of course another key issue for Recovery.

Above all I want to teach you to love yourself completely, including every one of those debilitating symptoms. They are only trying to point out where the trouble lies, and need to be welcomed into the open instead of pushed back in fear. Sometimes, although it is difficult to believe at the time, when we are at the point of our greatest pain, we are actually nearest to release.

Love is free. It expands and relaxes the body and of all the ingedients for recovery it is by far the most important. It costs nothing and you don't have to rely on it being given to you by others, even though it is very beautiful to receive it, because you can give it to yourself at all times and in all places. And remember, when you are at your lowest ebb, that is when you need it the most of all.

Can you look at yourself in the mirror and truly say, "I love you", and mean every part of yourself? I certainly could not before I was ill but I can now because there is nothing I have yet met within myself, which is unlovable. This is M.E.'s gift to me and for that I am profoundly grateful.
