I am down the rabbit hole of holistic therapies because in 2020 I was ‘diagnosed’ with CFS/ME. This is a condition that doctors don’t understand and there’s no medication or universally accepted treatment for. As they say, It’s complicated. So, after receiving support from a Specialist Occupational Therapist for a year, who was lovely, but only able to advise on managing the symptoms, not healing
completely, I knew it was going to be up to me to heal myself. In doing so, I’m gathering knowledge, skills and understanding along the way, that I hope will be able to help other people too. I discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, aka tapping) in 2020 at the start of the first lockdown and started practicing it every day. It made a huge difference to my mental health; it helped to reduce my anxiety which I've experienced my whole life, and boosted my self esteem and confidence. I tapped with Brad Yates on YouTube and have now completed my Emotional Freedom Technique Diploma with Centre of Excellence and received a distinction, which I'm very proud of. In 2022 I completed Reiki 1 & 2 training and also took a course in Life Coaching. This year I also completed a Hypnotherapy Practitioner course, which I also received a distinction for. The next course I'm taking is a Meditation Diploma, and then Yoga certifications!
