Who Am I?
[I’m currently on hiatus from this blog & coaching for the most part. I’m healing.
After almost 30 years with ME/CFS and 18 with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), I’m healing with the help of Annie Hopper’s DNRS program and Ashok Gupta’s Gupta Program (& more recently Joey Remenyi’s Rock Steady book for vertigo & tinnitus – check them all out).
The fatigue has gone. After 25 years of needing a sleep in the afternoon to continue to function at any useful level, I no longer need a nap. I’m so much stronger. And the post-exertion malaise is gone too!!!! I even climbed a mountain near my home, which was almost a 3 hour round trip.
I wish someone had told me about the DNRS and Gupta programs earlier. To me they make perfect sense as to why I became ill – a physical brain trauma causing the brain (limbic system) to malfunction and send innacurate signals to the rest of the body. It reinforces to me that ME/CFS and EHS are absolutely physical illnesses, but also that we have the power – with our minds – to heal ourselves, or at least put our body in a position where our parasympathic nervous system can do the healing for us. And so far it’s worked for me. I’d say now that I do not have ME/CFS anymore. Huge!!!
As for the EHS, well I still have some work to do. But I have every confidence that I’ve finally found the reason for the illness AND that I now have the power to heal from it. I just need to keep doing the brain retraining exercises in order for neuroplasticity to take effect and also allow my parasympathetic nervous system to heal my body.
Just doing the exercises every day, right from the start, changed my life. It made me happier immediately. This was not just because I had some hope, which certainly helped because prior to that I was starting to lose it. No, it was because the exercises help you tap into your own inner joy and that of the world around you.
Anyway, Google them. Or click on the links above or here.
For now I’m going to delete most of my About page because I am in a holding pattern or intense healing, and for now I don’t do anything other than be a Mum and heal (& do my art and gardening.]
I’m a 48 year old Australian single mother whose favourite and most important job in life is to be a Mum to my gorgeous, bubbly 17 year old daughter, Sophie.
I’m a coach, author, a blogger and I love writing, talking (a lot!), laughing, photography, videography, painting, drawing, Christmas decorations, Star Trek, The West Wing, Modern Family, podcasts (especially Hamish & Andy, and Armchair Expert) and a thousand other things I’m passionate about.
I’m a scanner (see here for more info).
Life and people fascinate me.
