Nurturing Resilience
Foundational education and ongoing support for people living with energy-limiting illness. Find clarity, receive guidance and make meaningful changes at a pace that works for you.
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.
I help people with energy limiting illnesses using an intergrated approach which combines the power of a mindbody medicine with nutrition, lifestyle and supplement support.
Living with an energy-limiting illness can already feel overwhelming. The last thing you need is another programme you feel pressured to complete.
Nurturing Resilience brings together practical education, live group guidance and community support to help you navigate your health with greater clarity and confidence.
There’s no expectation to keep up, and nothing to fall behind on.
The goal isn’t to do everything. It’s to identify what matters most for you, one manageable step at a time.
You're here because...
You have been diagnosed with, or suspect you may have, an energy limiting illness (ME/CFS, MCAS, Post Viral Fatigue, Long Covid or something similar);
You're looking for a supportive, hopeful approach that acknowledges your challenges while helping you explore what might be possible.
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 you're struggling to find the answers and the support you need.
You're spending hours researching your health, but the more you read, the more confused you feel about where to begin.
You're looking for clarity, guidance and a way forward that doesn't leave you feeling even more overwhelmed.
You're navigating all of this alongside fatigue, brain fog and limited energy.
And when you try to do too much, you may experience setbacks, symptom flares or post-exertional malaise (PEM), making it even harder to know what will help.
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, googling and second-guessing, because you had access to reliable information and ongoing guidance from someone who has walked in your shoes.
You were part of a supportive community of people who understand the challenges you’re facing, where you could share experiences, ask questions and feel less alone as you navigate your health.
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’re trying to hold everything together, process the grief and loss, attend medical appointments and make sense of your health.
All with very limited physical, emotional and mental energy.
Having worked with hundreds of clients with energy-limiting illnesses, one thing I know is that there are no magic bullets or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Our health is influenced by many interconnected factors. Some may be physiological, such as blood sugar regulation or digestive health, while others may relate to the patterns our nervous system has developed to help us navigate life’s challenges.
The balance between these areas will look different for everyone, and our needs can change over time.
Some people may benefit from focusing more on their nervous system, others on physical health, and many from a combination of both.
Nurturing Resilience brings these approaches together, offering education, practical tools and ongoing guidance to help you identify what matters most for you.
The aim is to build resilience, support your wellbeing and create more capacity for the things that matter to you, one manageable step at a time.

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!"
