About the event
Does it feel like anger, frustration and sadness are taking over, and no amount of breathwork, meditation or yoga will save you?
If emotions are a big part of what you’re dealing with, this session is for you.
What is it?
A free, live 30-minute teaching session, followed by Q&A. We’ll look at how emotions, thoughts and feelings work together and how they link to symptoms. We’ll share what we’ve learned from our own recoveries and from working with clients, including how to catch these patterns early, influence what happens next and take action that moves you toward the life you want.
This is the second of a number of sessions we hope to run over the coming months, depending on interest and demand.
Who’s it for?
Anyone living with conditions such as ME/CFS, Long COVID, fibromyalgia, POTS, MCAS or related chronic illness, and the loved ones who support them. You don’t need to have joined our first session to benefit from this one.
Who’s hosting?
Marnie Marin (Australia) recovered from ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, IBS and suspected endometriosis after a senior career across the Victorian Departments of Health and Education.

Stuart Porter (UK) developed the RESTAND framework after recovering from severe ME/CFS. He spent his working life in education. His final role was as an Executive Headteacher. He has had many roles including Head of Coaching. He now works with clients worldwide using this framework.
