Take Ownership of Your Health & Wellness

…and why I created “A Gentle Rising” – a 6 week online wellness program to support your journey.

Back in 1989, when my first Fibromyalgia symptoms appeared, I was lost in a sea of conflicting advice from doctors. It took 11 years before I was finally given a diagnosis — and even then, nobody could tell me how to manage it.

So, I took matters into my own hands.
I researched, experimented, and refused to let Fibromyalgia control my future. I wasn’t willing to live on a cocktail of medications with endless side effects. Instead, I began a journey of self-discovery and healing.

What I learned along the way

Through trial and error, I discovered that small, consistent changes made a big difference:

Eat: Taking my diet back to basics helped me uncover the foods that triggered flares.
Move: Gentle, mindful movement allowed me to exercise without worsening pain.
Heal: Meditation and mindfulness eased my stress and softened symptoms.
Glow: Little by little, I found a new balance — and the confidence to live again.

Today, my Fibromyalgia is mostly controlled. I still flare, but I know how to get back on track quickly.

Why I chose to share my journey

After years of struggle and breakthroughs, I trained as a Health & Wellness Coach to support others walking the same path. At first, I worked one-to-one. But soon I realised I could reach and help so many more people by going online.

That’s how A Gentle Rising was created. It’s a step-by-step online programme designed to give you the tools, strategies, and support I wish I’d had when I first began my journey.

  • Work at your own pace, with no pressure or deadlines.

  • Save time and energy — everything you need is in one place.

  •  Get the knowledge, strategies, and encouragement from someone who’s been there.

What you’ll gain from “A Gentle Rising”

  • Practical tools to manage symptoms and reduce flares

  • Guidance on food, movement, and stress management

  • A supportive framework to help you feel more in control
