Question 1

How long does recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Most of my clients have what they need to recover after 6-9 sessions. People often experience significant shifts within the first three. Occasionally it takes a little longer.

Question 2

What does a session actually look like?

Accepted Answer

We talk it through: I ask questions and we explore where you are, your goals, and what has been getting in the way.I share the science: The neuroscience behind what’s going on in your body.You leave with a practice: A small, precise daily practice tailored to what came up for you, because consistency matters more than volume when rewiring the brain.Support does not stop there: If something comes up between sessions, you can reach out and I will be there.

Question 3

What if I have tried recovery programs that did not work?

Accepted Answer

This comes up often. Programs require a high degree of self-direction, which is enormously hard when your brain is depleted. Working 1:1 means we can identify exactly what's keeping you stuck, and move around it, rather than following a sequence that was not built for you.

Question 4

What if there are things I don't like, or that trigger me, like meditation or breathwork?

Accepted Answer

If something doesn't work for you, whatever the reason, we will find another way. This is never about pushing you through a technique that isn't right for you. Some people find breathwork activating rather than calming, for example, and that is worth knowing upfront. The practices are more likely to involve tools drawn from neuroscience and neuroplasticity research, such as building an evidence bank of your own progress or working with the brain patterns that have been maintaining your symptoms. They are precise and purposeful. I have enough tools in my kit to find a pathway that will suit you.

Question 5

Is this approach compatible with other things I am doing?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you are doing, which is worth exploring together at our initial Recovery Blueprint session. Generally speaking, this work complements other approaches rather than replacing them. If you are seeing a doctor, therapist, or other practitioner, I am happy to speak with them directly, at no cost, to share background on my approach and make sure our practices align. That conversation can make a real difference.

Question 6

Do you work with people who have other conditions alongside ME/CFS or fibromyalgia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of my clients carry multiple diagnoses including POTS, FND, MCAS, IBS and others. The approach works with the underlying patterns, which are often shared across these conditions.

Question 7

Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. If your tests keep coming back normal and you are still experiencing real symptoms, that is worth an initial conversation.
