I have to admit, I wrote the title to this post and laughed a little. Since when did we feel that we have to put ourselves last and put our owns interests, fun and needs behind everyone else’s? (Why does it seem as though women are affected by this more than men?) As many of […read more]
When I was first diagnosed and joined AYME (the Association of Young People with M.E.) in the UK, one of the first things I received in my welcome pack was a leaflet about the CFS/M.E. Functional Ability Scale. (In hindsight, it felt so strange receiving a ‘welcome pack’ in this way, even though I […read more]
I’m often asked about which supplements I think would help with CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia, so I thought I’d round up a few of them for you today. Some of these featured prominently in my recovery and I still take a few of them today. Some are just for general maintenance and I’m not so […read more]
As many of you have read in my recovery story, my life as the typical Type-A personality career girl I was destined to be turned out to be completely different from anything I could every imagine. … I just need to stop and pause for a while after writing this- the difference between who I […read more]
I just wanted to speak to you all about your own, unique healing journey and how we can go about starting our own. I know that a lot of you are wondering what it should look like and how to go about it, so I put this video together for you. There might be […read more]
The CFS Collective is now live! Click here to be take to the main page. The number one complaint I get from those with Chronic Illness? Nobody understands what it’s like. Nobody gets it.

To round off this amazing week of chakra exploration, I just thought I’d go through each of the chakras and give you all some insights as to what I uncovered about my emotions and the symptoms I was feeling in my body. When I started exploring energetic healing, I was about 85% of the […read more]
It’s been a while since I’ve put a vlog together for you all, so I thought I’d talk about a topic which a lot of you seem to mention at the moment, which is…… guilt. Guilt and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from my experience go hand-in-hand. I can see you all nodding your head already…well, […read more]
I’ve never considered myself to be a dishonest person. I’ve never told lies, and I don’t make a habit of it. When you look at the concept of honesty really closely, you’ll see that for most people, it means not being dishonest with other people. You don’t want to upset or disappoint someone else, you […read more]
OK- confession time. I’ve been off work for the last few weeks with a hip and back injury after slipping on a wet patch on the floor of the place we were staying in a few weekends ago up in Byron Bay. I’m not too sure why I didn’t tell you all before now, […read more]
I can hardly believe I’m writing this post, but it seems as though the time has come! (Image by Alice Hampson via Unsplash) Would you like to Proofread my New Book? From the very first word I wrote, my intention with this book has been all about communicating with this community. Therefore, it only seems […read more]
The whole concept of Brain Fog really touches a nerve with me. I’ve never felt so weak and powerless as when I was having a ‘Brain Fog Day’. I felt as is everything I’d ever learned at school had somehow vanished and that all my brain cells had magically disappeared. I felt like a complete idiot- why am […read more]
This Friday at 9am (Sydney time), I’ll be sitting by the computer, keeping everything crossed that my technical knowledge is enough to carry me through if something goes wrong with releasing my first e-book into the world. It’s been quite a ride, so I just wanted to put together a behind-the-scenes look at my new […read more]
