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. 

​

I was in my late 20s looking forward to my future when my life and my plans came to an unexpected halt.   I contracted  glandular fever.    For  14 years despite every effort I remained severely incapacited.  I was diagnosed first with post viral fatigue syndrome then ME. .Life was very hard.  I was on a extremely restrictive pacing regime.  If I followed it I was able to keep my illness mostly stable. I was left confined to the house and bed most of the time.  I walked with a stick and needed a wheelchair to go more than short distances. 

​

Whilst ill I did my best to continue with a long term commitment to people helping people with chronic illhealth. (whom I had been working with since leaving university in the late 1980s).  I advised where I could locally to help people with ME/CFS.  I became a director of a local disability charity, and chaired the local ME support group helping post viral fatigue states, ME/CFS and fibromyalgia and their families across York and North Yorkshire.

 

In 2006/2007 I used the processes described on this website to rhelp me to return to a normal life.   I do things now that I could only have dreamed of like hiking in the Yorkshire dales, walking from home into town, swimming, cycling and working  full-time as a complementary health practitioner.
