Meet Deb
Deb Thompson Is A Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®
I am a mother and grandmother with 30 years experience as a teacher and a Masters in Education.
I fully understand the delicate balance of caring for family members, pursuing a career, and prioritizing personal well-being while living with fibromyalgia.
Before I began Fibromyalgia coaching myself, I was trying to do it all, be everything to everyone and I lost myself and my health in the process. With time and support I have been able to heal and find hope again. And so can you! My life is meaningful and fulfilling despite living with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain.
I am a committed advocate for people with chronic pain and Fibromyalgia. My advocacy work includes a position as co-chair of the NZ Pain Society LEAP committee (Lived Experience Advisory Panel).
As a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I empower women with fibromyalgia to live the life YOU want. I work especially with women who are chronically busy and overwhelmed with their responsibilities, often put themselves last, and prone to pushing through.
Through ten years of living with chronic pain and fibromyalgia, I have learnt that small steps can amount to great strides over time. I walk alongside my clients as they gain the confidence to take those steps toward positive change.
Deb is a great listener and can understand immediately what I am going through; Deb has been a supportive and steady coach. She has guided me to ask the most relevant questions in doctors’ appointments to be able to find the best solutions for my body at this time. I look forward to continuing to work with Deb as I determine how to live my best life with fibromyalgia.
