After a sudden onset, ME/CFS left Holly bedbound for several years. Initially she struggled to break the boom and bust cycle, finding it hard to accept her world had become so small. However, when Holly realised pacing is about decision making she felt much more empowered.

Holly acknowledges that trauma played a part in her illness. Doing specific trauma processing techniques, such as EMDR and the rewind technique, helped relieve the burden on her nervous system. Whilst meditation and mindfulness helped her deal with intrusive thoughts and become better at managing her emotions.

Now fully recovered Holly is dedicating her energy and life to helping others managing chronic illnesses.
