Zara – Chronic Headaches/Food Allergies/Endometriosis
When I was 13 years of age I started suffering from seizure-like episodes, chronic headaches and serious food allergies. Prior to this happening I was a happy and healthy girl that loved to irish dance. Because of these things happening to me I swapped my life for doctors, consultants and months of hospital beds all over Ireland. Nobody could give me a definite answer as to why this was happening to me. I was put on steroids, beta-blockers and blood pressure tablets for no apparent reason.
This carried on for 2 years and steadily started to get worse. I ended up not being able to attend school, dance or just basically do anything. I spent the full summer of 2013 in hospitals in Kerry and Crumlin in Dublin as I didn't have the health or ability to even walk out my front gates without collapsing.
Eventually I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had to undergo an operation to have 3 cysts the size of golf balls removed from my ovaries. This was the start of my recovery or so I thought. My energy levels didn't recover and I still didn't have the ability to get out of bed. At this stage I was giving up on ever getting better.
In October 2013 I was in bed one evening when my mom came running up stairs shouting to me that "I have the person to make you better Zara". Mom was watching a TV interview with Michael Flatley and Michael had raved about how Michael O’Doherty had worked magic on him with bio energy treatment. Before I knew it my parents had an appointment made for me with Michael and his team. I can honestly say that from my first appointment with Michael when I had to be carried in, that over a short period of time my energy levels have recovered to a level higher than they ever were even before I was ill.
Michael gave me back my life.
I returned to dancing in early 2014 and I have so much energy now from my treatment with Michael that I have been able to give it my all.
In 2014 I won numerous large feis and am delighted to say that I won the All Scotland's, European championships and came 2nd in the worlds.
I honestly can't believe where I am with my life today and I know that it's all down to Michael O'Doherty and his wonderful team.
My goals are to become a doctor, world champion and dance in one of Michael Flatley’s shows. A big thank you again to Michael O’Doherty and his team and Michael Flatley because if Michael didn't tell his story I wouldn't be where I am today.
