My Story

… the challenges

And then one morning I just could not get out of bed with a feeling of exhaustion to my core, which is a strange and scary experience. When it continued for weeks, I knew something wasn’t right and thus began months of appointments with various doctors and specialists. Diagnosed with Post-Viral Fatigue and later Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I was unable to work and struggled with the accompanying symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, and body pains.

… turning point

When you are unwell, you will try everything and after a while this becomes exhausting, severely depressing, and emotionally taxing when nothing seems to work. Then one day after months of this, my aunt passed me an article she had read about CFS and the Lightning Process. Initially it read like something too good to be true; I couldn’t understand it and let it pass me by. A few months later I was fortunate enough to be in contact with 2 friends whom I discovered had also had CFS and used the Lightning Process to fully recover. In that moment I decided if they could get better, then so could I! I had to do this too.

… the training

It was December 2017 and at that time there were no practitioners in Australia, which was heartbreaking to discover. With the drive and the determination to get well, I tracked down a Practitioner in New Zealand and somehow got myself to Christchurch. From day 1 things began to shift and I was able to do more. The realisation of how influential I could be in my own experience started stretching my mind to see how useful these tools were when applied to all areas of life. I came to the course with fatigue but quickly realised that I could also completely resolve my chronic foot pain from an old sports injury and a food intolerance which I had thought I just had to live with. 3 days later I flew back to Sydney and my life was forever different. I was back in my body with energy and enthusiasm for life! I began to run again and 4 months later completed the 10km Hill to Harbour, proving to myself that I could fully overcome both the fatigue and the chronic pain.

… a new life

Having regained my health and vitality I set the task of ticking off my bucket list for life and reconnecting to my true passions; travelling around the world, dancing salsa and hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It became clear to me that this gift must be shared and so I set a new direction and career path to study the brain and learn the skills to become a Lightning Process Practitioner and help others to reclaim their health and thrive. Travelling back and forth between Sydney and London to study and learn from Phil Parker himself, and making other sacrifices along the way have all been worth the joy I get from helping people transform their lives.

I truly suffered and I am so grateful to have my life back. I believe it is a tragedy that people should suffer unnecessarily for years just because they don’t have the right tools. The joy of regaining your life is humbling and this is my motivation to train others so that they can have the opportunity to flourish.
