The E-Book version of My Healing Journey on Amazon Kindle.

In September 2021, life as I knew it changed forever.

I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), a multi-systemic, inflammatory disease, which left me almost completely immobile, cognitively impaired, and in constant pain.

My doctors, hospital consultants and specialists informed me that there is no cure, or any effective treatments. I was advised to adjust to a new reality – to accept that this new life of symptoms would most likely be permanent; to apply for disability benefits and to begin taking opioid-based medication to manage the pain.

At 35 years old, I was not ready to accept that this would be the rest of my life. Something within me refused to believe that healing was impossible.

Confined mostly to my bed for more than a year, I began searching for answers. I explored modern scientific research, ancient healing philosophies, and healing practises from cultures around the world, asking one simple question:

What allows the human body to heal?

As I began implementing what I learned, my body started to respond. Practises that once felt unfamiliar became daily rituals and my relationship with food, movement, breath, stress, environment, and even my own thoughts transformed completely.

Within weeks, I fully recovered.

My Healing Journey is the story of that transformation.

In this book, I share my lived experience alongside the science, philosophies, and practises that contributed to my recovery including fasting and the process of autophagy, meditation, breathwork, movement, nutrition, cold water therapy, conscious consumption, and the powerful roles of social connection and environment in healing.

This is not medical advice, nor a prescription, nor a promise of outcomes. Every healing journey is unique. Instead, this book offers information, perspective, and hope – an invitation to look at health differently and to rediscover the extraordinary adaptability of the human body.

If you are searching for an authentic lived experience of recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, for understanding, possibility, or reassurance that a positive change can occur even in our darkest moments, this book was written for you.

Healing is possible.
Start believing.
