Living with overwhelming fatigue is beyond exhausting. But constantly trying to work out whether you're doing the right thing can be just as draining.
If you're tired of second-guessing every symptom, fearing every setback and feeling like your life has been put on hold, you're not alone.
MAYBE, YOU’RE WONDERING IF IT’S EVEN POSSIBLE FOR YOU…
Having been on my own journey of recovery from chronic fatigue, I’ve had the privilege of working 1:1 with clients to help them build a sustainable foundation for fatigue recovery. Many of my clients have felt lost, confused, and overwhelmed by CFS, but together, we've devised a personalised recovery plans that have allowed them to progress forward.
My mission is to remove the confusion and fear that so many people experience around recovery, helping you understand your body, respond to setbacks with confidence and create a sustainable foundation for long-term progress.
You don't need another expert telling you to push harder or rest more. You need a personalised way of making sense of your body, your symptoms and your recovery.

I went into the programme thinking I already understood what I needed to do, but I've learned far more than I expected. I feel significantly better, and my energy levels have stabilised much more quickly than I thought possible. With Jo's support, I've been able to start doing things I didn't think would be possible — walking, gentle exercise, household tasks, and even beginning to explore a return to work.
I no longer fear crashes in the way I used to, which has been life changing.

Jo helped me understand the nuances between pacing, NLP and nervous system work. Previously pacing felt like a danger signal to my nervous system — I applied it rigidly and was so scared to make a mistake. I felt lost, confused and stuck. Through this work, I learnt how to pace in a positive way, allowing my nervous system time to build
Jo helped me understand the nuances between pacing, NLP and nervous system work. Previously pacing felt like a danger signal to my nervous system — I applied it rigidly and was so scared to make a mistake. I felt lost, confused and stuck. Through this work, I learnt how to pace in a positive way, allowing my nervous system time to build capacity without overwhelm. The sessions were incredibly tailored to what I needed most.

Before I started the sessions with Jo, I was in spiral of deep energy crashes and a negative mindset.
The coaching helped me to find the confidence to take control of my health, build positive tools and techniques into my daily life, which ultimately stabilised and then grew my energy levels.
Most importantly, I got my hope back.

I’m sure you've already discovered that quick fixes don't work.
Many people end up swinging between pushing through and playing it safe. One day you try to do a little more, only to crash. The next, you become so cautious that life starts to shrink around you.
Both can leave you feeling stuck, uncertain and disconnected from your own judgement.
You may have sought help through the medical system and found it only takes you so far. Perhaps you have a diagnosis, but little guidance on how to navigate day-to-day life, respond to setbacks or build a sustainable foundation for recovery.
One-size-fits-all advice rarely accounts for the complexity of living with CFS.
That's why CFS Freedom is built around you.
Together, we'll create a personalised plan that fits your current capacity, your symptoms and your life. Through pacing, nervous system regulation and mindset work, you'll learn how to respond to symptom fluctuations with greater confidence, reduce the fear that often drives the boom-and-bust cycle and gradually build a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.
Rather than constantly wondering whether you're doing too much or too little, you'll have personalised guidance to help you make decisions that support both healing and rebuilding your life.

Through a holistic pacing approach that incorporates joy into your daily routine and other lifestyle optimizations for energy production.

By working on your mindset, rewiring from an ill-health model to one of recovery, empowerment, and wellness. Bounce back from setbacks with greater ease.

Learn effective NLP tools to regulate your nervous system. Reconnect with yourself and others, and free yourself from visible and invisible barriers that are keeping you trapped.
And, I'm going to show you how!

I have first-hand experience working 1:1 with clients to overcome chronic fatigue challenges from ME/CFS, Long COVID, and Dysautonomia/POTS. Having lived through chronic fatigue myself, I know the emotional weight of second-guessing every decision and wondering whether a better day means progress or a bigger crash tomorrow. That understanding shapes the way I work with every client.
I understand how chronic fatigue can impact every aspect of your life, from working and socializing to performing everyday tasks. However, I know from my own recovery journey and from those I have successfully coached that recovery is possible.
What makes my coaching unique is how I combine my qualifications in NLP coaching and nursing with personal experience of living and overcoming chronic fatigue. I deeply understand what it takes to achieve long-term wellness, and I'm committed to helping you do the same.
I work with clients at various stages of life who are limited by CFS.
Some may be working full-time or part-time, while others feel isolated due to limited social interaction. Some are parents juggling recovery with caregiving responsibilities. Clients come to me after taking proactive steps to improve their health and energy levels, only to find that initial progress is followed by deep energy crashes or relapses, bringing them heartbreakingly back to square one. They want to break this cycle. I also work with clients who have achieved some stability in their energy levels but are fearful of worsening symptoms, which holds them back from increasing their activity levels.
Through my programme, I've helped clients unlock what is keeping them stuck and find successful ways to introduce pacing, mindset work, and nervous system regulation into their lives. This approach helps them build a sustainable foundation for fatigue recovery, enabling them to make progress during their 10-week program and beyond.
…AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

Rather than simply teaching pacing, we'll work together to interpret setbacks, adjust your plan, build resilience and help you gradually regain confidence in your ability to move forwards safely.
Rooted in my signature "Pace, Rewire, and Regulate" methodology, this programme offers personalized support to establish a solid foundation for fatigue recovery.

Since we work together on a one-on-one basis, the programme is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on what benefits you the most.

CFS Freedom is a comprehensive and holistic programme that seeks to support both your body and mind.

Our 1 hour video calls are designed to help you create a personalized recovery plan, work on your mindset, regulate your nervous system and overcome obstacles. If brain fog or screens are challenging, we can take a tea break mid-session, and you can switch off your video camera.

If you can provide more than 24 hours' notice, we will reschedule your 1:1 coaching session for another time. However, if you need to cancel on the day (which I understand can happen, especially during an energy crash), I will record an audio version of the session. This recording will cover the content we would have explored, tailored to you as much as possible based on my knowledge of your situation at that time. This way, you can continue progressing through the program and your recovery without missing valuable information.
No, it would be unfair to imply that this programme guarantees a full recovery, especially not within 10 weeks. Everyone's recovery journey is unique, and the time it takes varies from person to person. While some individuals may recover quickly, for the majority, it takes time. What this programme does is equip you with the knowledge and skills to pace yourself, rewire your mindset, and regulate your nervous system. This lays a solid foundation for your recovery journey. The focus is on stabilizing and improving your energy levels and overall well-being, empowering you to take control of your life and health, which is a game charger for CFS recovery.
This programme stands out because it is tailored specifically to your unique needs and recovery journey. And as I’m working with you 1:1, I can help you identify any limiting beliefs and other visible and invisible barriers that are keeping you stuck. Additionally, we are going to use NLP tools to help tap into your subconscious, where the coding for thoughts and behaviours resides, to change these to what they need to be for recovery. Unlike group programmes, we focus on providing personalized coaching, practical tools, and strategies that address your specific challenges. Our approach combines pacing techniques, mindset rewiring, and nervous system regulation to create a comprehensive and holistic recovery plan. Additionally, we offer ongoing support and resources, including practical tools and guidance tailored to your needs, to help you stay on track and make meaningful progress between our 1:1 coaching sessions.
Throughout the programme, you will receive comprehensive support to ensure you stay on track and feel confident in your recovery journey. This includes bi-weekly 1:1 coaching calls with me, where we will create a personalized recovery plan and address any challenges you may face. Additionally, you will have access to email support between sessions, allowing you to ask questions and share your progress. You'll also receive worksheets to deepen your understanding and help integrate the practices into your daily life. My goal is to provide you with the tools, guidance, and encouragement you need to achieve sustainable recovery.
Yes, this programme is designed to be flexible and adaptable to various situations, including chronic fatigue stemming from other medical conditions or having multiple diagnoses. I have particular experience with ME/CFS, long COVID and POTS. The principles of pacing, mindset rewiring, and nervous system regulation can be beneficial for anyone experiencing chronic fatigue, regardless of the underlying cause. The personalized coaching approach ensures that your unique needs and circumstances are taken into account, providing you with the tools and support necessary for your recovery journey. In your free connection call, we will have the opportunity to double-check that this programme is the right next step for you.
