About us
So you know a bit about us, let us tell you how this all came together and evolved.
The idea to run the ‘Get Your Life Back Workshops’ had been germinating for some time. The challenge was that we had got our lives back to the point where we were very busy running our respective businesses. We would meet socially and the subject of doing something would come up and then we would ‘park’ the idea as we weren’t sure what to do or how to go about it.
Then in late 2008 something happened that shocked both of us
We read that a someone with M.E. had died. She had suffered for 17 years. When we read her story and her list of symptoms, it was like reading our own story, except with a very different ending! So why had we got our lives back when this young woman had lost hers? As we talked we realised just how much we had done to get well again and how much we knew about recovering from this condition. We also believed in recovery whereas sadly, lots of sufferers of M.E, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia don’t. In fact they are convinced that recovery is dependent on a medical breakthrough and so they wait and wait.
The message was clear we needed to do 2 things
- Share our knowledge with the staggering numbers of people who are at home in limbo waiting for the day when they will Get their life back.
- Offer that same knowledge to those people caring for and supporting sufferers as they are a vital part of the recovery.
We put pen to paper and wrote ‘10 ways’ to challenge M.E and get well. It was a free guide. Next we set up a basic website for people to order our free guide. and then we were going to hold workshops.
It all began in Sussex
We wanted to help more people so we organised workshops in Sussex to teach sufferers and carers how we got well and recovered from M.E, CFS. This was meant to be something we could fit in on a Saturday around our businesses.Then we started to receive emails from all over the world asking for our help but they were too far away or of course too unwell to get to our workshops.
How do we reach people all over the world?
We had started coaching others 1 on 1 by telling them what we did and helping them identify the phases of recovery. We also did not shrink from being very honest about what we saw getting in the way of their recovery. The results were faster because they had us to support them step by step. That’s when we knew we wanted to offer a step by step fully supported recovery programme and It took a year for us to learn how we could reach sufferers wherever they were in the world and for them to be able to access it.
We had to learn new skills, new technology and get mentoring from those who knew how to create an online training programme.– The Chrysalis Effect Supported Recovery Programme was born.
Then the mission grew even bigger!
Recoverers on our programme were getting great results, moving forward in their recovery, However, we talk about what worked for us and of course our clients were asking which practitioners we recommended. It is usual to need some nutritional help, or support from a movement specialist, as well as other therapies that support recovery – each person responds to things differently.
That’s when we realised we needed to train practitioners to work with our material so that recoverers can have a holistic programme tailored to their needs.
Frustrated Practitioners!
We surveyed practitioners and so many of them were frustrated at not being able to support these clients right through to recovery. Because as we knew from our own experience, they help with their specialism, which may help a few symptoms but its not enough, so off you go and find someone else, leaving the practitioner frustrated they couldn’t help, and the sufferer still desperate for help.
The practitioners were keen to have an in-depth understanding of M.E, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia conditions. They want to support someone through to recovery rather than just treat them by helping a few symptoms and have a client move on searching for the next piece of the puzzle. While not everybody needs this support, the programme is enough for many people. Others need that one to one support of a dedicated and knowledgeable practitioner who can offer a step by step approach to stick with until recovery.
So our mission grew again!
Now we offer training in the form of The Chrysalis Effect Practitioner Training Programme to offer just that. All types of holistic and complementary practitioners, from Nutritionists, to Natropaths, Reiki Healers to Reflexologists and coaches, the list goes on, as these practitioners are in the field of treating someone as a whole, looking at the causes and not just the symptoms. We are honoured to work with some amazing people to enable M.E, CFS recovery worldwide and really transform lives.
So that is how our small idea of helping a few local sufferers has grown to a mission to make a difference to the 17 million sufferers and their families on a global scale!
