Would You Like Help To Feel Better?

As a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I have been trained to help fibromyalgia patients improve their energy and sleep, while reducing their pain and brain fog. Essentially, I help you re-align your life! Just like you, I live with fibromyalgia every day. As a coach, I offer one-on-one support to help you through your daily life.

You can book a 20 minute call to meet me here.

Or book a consultation – A free 90 minute conversation to get to know each other. I will ask you lots of questions about the impact Fibromyalgia has on your life. You will be able to ask me questions about how coaching works, and from there we will decide if we’re going to work together.

If we decide to work together we will begin with a 3 month programme consisting of

  • 9 sessions – a great way to get started on using individualised strategies to heal yourself and reset your life in a meaningful way
  • Email Support
  • The chance to renew &/or choose a longer coaching programme

I help you to break the cycle of pain and fatigue so you can live the life you want!
My programme revolves around three essential pillars:

Restore

  • Identify what isn’t working and why
  • Befriend your body so you can heal

Rebalance

  • Integrate personalised strategies
  • Reduce boom bust behaviour and flares

Reset

  • Sustainable long term progress
  • Fibromyalgia doesn’t control your life
  • You manage your Fibro not the other way around!

You Don't Have To Do It All At Once
We Take It Step By Step Together

Coaching dramatically improved my life and Deb’s warm friendly support, knowledge and kindness made all the difference. Thank you Deb for giving me my life back again.

Coaching has been an integral part of my recovery with Fibromyalgia. When I approached Deb I was feeling completely overwhelmed and hopeless and felt like just giving up. I felt like I had tried everything – medications, diets, endless resting, read everything I could get my hands on but I was still in a lot of pain, flaring frequently and tired beyond belief.

Deb provided me with the support of someone who actually really knows what it is like, somewhere I felt understood and didn’t have to pretend to be ok with, combined with humour, sensitivity and above all hope.

She taught me how to live with Fibro instead of fighting it – how to focus on one area at a time and work out how to manage that.

We worked on how to manage my time and energy, prioritise activities and people and above all how to be kind to myself.

So much good education about Fibro and lots of tips and techniques she has picked up herself and from others along the way.

I worked with Deb for about 9 months and in that time went from being mostly housebound and barely able to do more than 20-30mins activity at a time without having to rest to getting back to 2 days per week at work, hiking (sometimes) and being able to participate in most daily activities.

I know what the warning signs are now and I know what to do.

As A Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I Provide:

Doctors are not taught in medical school how to effectively or efficiently treat fibromyalgia. In most cases, I've had more fibromyalgia-specific training than your doctor has! With this training, I can help bridge this gap in knowledge by educating both you and your provider. There is so much that can be done to improve fibromyalgia symptoms beyond the typical FDA-approved fibromyalgia medications. As we work together, I will teach you about these other treatment options and how to discuss them with your providers.

I’ve tried so many different things in my journey to health! I can share with you what has worked for me, as well as educate you on what has been proven to be helpful for others with fibromyalgia, both in a clinical setting and with my other clients. If there's something you're interested in trying, I probably already know someone who has and can share their experience with you.

I can often tell how well your doctor understands fibromyalgia by the medications and supplements you’re taking. If they are not what has been proven to be the most helpful and effective, we can talk about potential changes and how to talk to your doctor about them. While I can give you insights and information, medication adjustments always need to be discussed with your doctor.

Other issues often contribute to your fibromyalgia symptoms. As we uncover and deal with these other issues, your fibromyalgia will usually improve. I often recommend tests and labs your doctor can order that will check your hormones, vitamin and mineral levels, food allergies and intolerances, sleep issues, and more.

It IS possible to live well with fibromyalgia! Working together, we can come up with ways to better manage your life and stress to minimize your pain and fatigue. I'll help you uncover your priorities so that you can spend your time and energy on what's most important in your life — and help you increase our energy so you have more to spend.

As a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach®, I am part of a world-wide network of other coaches and patients who can help you find the help you need. I also have hand-selected a variety of professionals that I work with and recommend to my clients. These specialists can provide the tests and therapies I suggest and treat you with the compassion you deserve.

Whether it's other providers, friends, family, or people at work, I can help you figure out the best ways to talk to others about your fibromyalgia, and your needs. We can practice conversations so you feel confident or simply talk through different ways of explaining things. I can also provide you with materials and resources that you can share with your doctors and others that help explain fibromyalgia, your symptoms, and your needs.

As your Coach, I’m also your cheerleader, encourager, and instructor along the way. I’ll celebrate your victories with you, encourage you when you think there isn’t anything to celebrate, and teach you to apply what I’ve learned to your own life.
