Nurturing Resilience
A self paced membership subscription for people experiencing energy limiting illnesses
Feeling lost, unsupported or stuck in your healing journey?
You are in the right place.
I’m Anna, Trauma-Trained Functional Medicine and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with my own personal healing journey.
I help people with energy limiting illnesses, including, but not limited to, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Viral Fatigue, Long Covid, Fibromyalgia and Autoimmune Conditions. Everyone heals differently but I believe in an intergrated approach which combines the power of a mindbody medicine with diet, lifestyle and supplement supports.
Through a combination of physical and nervous system care, I want to help you recover your health and energy and build capacity to live your life fully!
You're here because...
You have been diagnosed with, or suspect you may have, an energy limiting illness (CFS/ME, MCAS, Post Viral Fatigue, Long Covid or something similar);
Yet, you refuse to accept this as your new reality or engage in the "doom and gloom" of some online spaces.
Or maybe you don't have a diagnosis; You've been told that your test results are normal...
But you know something isn't right and no one is telling you how to get relief from your symptoms. And you want answers!
You are spending hours googling and yet, the more you research, the more confused you are about where to start.
What you really need is some structure and a clear action plan to follow.
Not to mention that you are navigating all of this with a level of brain fog and fatigue that no amount of rest will relieve.
And don't forget about the PEM, crashes and flares when you try too hard and do too much.
Imagine if...
You had more clarity around what is happening in your body and more importantly, how you can support yourself through the highs and lows of chronic illness.
You didn’t have to spend hours scrolling and googling, second guessing, because you had access to affordable, good quality information from someone who has walked in your shoes.
You were part of a like-minded community of people who are navigating similar challenges yet also determined to find solutions, improve their health and increase their quality of life.
Introducing
Nurturing Resilience
Becoming chronically unwell can be a sudden and devastating change. It can feel like every aspect of your life is falling through your fingertips. You are trying to hold everything together, process the inevitable grief and loss while attending medical appointments, learning new medical terminology and making sense of the (limited) health care options.
All with the least amount of physical, emotional and mental energy.
Having worked with hundreds of clients with energy limiting illnesses what I know for sure is that there are no magic bullets, nor is there a one size fits all approach. Instead, most people will need to work through different facets of health.
Some of these will be physical imbalances (like blood sugar, digestive dysfunction or toxic load) and others may be reorganising the patterns that our wonderful nervous system once created to help us survive and get this far!
How much we need to work on one versus the other differs case by case.
Some people may need a lot of support for their nervous system, while others may need a lot more support the physiological aspects of health, others may be in the middle.
Nurturing Resilience offers you the opportunity to address both, to whatever degree you need. By supporting your nervous system and physical health, you can build more resilience in your system. And with more resilience comes greater capacity to live life with less crashes, flares and setbacks!

What People are saying...
I was struggling with post-exertional malaise. I couldn't meditate or even sit still to read a book. I'm in week 9 of Nurturing Resilience and I am building muscle in the gym 3 days per week, meditating and reading for pleasure.
I was bouncing around between practitioners, "doing everything right" and not seeing results. I've been doing the somatic practises daily and it's amazing! My crashes are so much shorter, I have better energy and exercise tolerance, my food sensitivities have improved and I built the confidence to take my honeymoon!
"At 25 years of age I felt like I was drowing in a sea of brain fog and fatigue. At the age of 50 - after 25 years of highs and lows - I finally feel like I have found the missing thing that I didn't know I needed. My baseline is finally slowly increasing. This was the best investment I've made.!"
"I have a complex history of fatigue, heavy metals, mould and post-viral fatigue. I caught Covid and had a major relapse; experiencing anxiety, insomnia and was highly reactive to relaxation practises. After 11 weeks in NR my anxiety is pretty much gone and I am able to relax and better access a healing state."
"I felt like stress was constantly there and leaking out into everything I was doing. I now feel I am in a calmer place, I am more connected to my children and I feel empowered to work with my body, instead of distracting and avoiding with unhelpful coping mechanisms."
"I could calm down using meditation and restorative yoga but whenever I stopped I would go from 0-100mph. I now feel more resilient and stable. I am overanalysing less and accepting more. I finally feel like I'm working on the foundations of the "house" instead of the roof or the windows!"
