Are you ready to finally stabilise your energy, trust your body, and move through your days without fear of crashing?
Break free from the boom–bust cycle of CFS.

From unpredictable crashes, constant fear, and feeling trapped by your symptoms… To calmer, steadier energy you can depend on. Move through your days with gentle control, confidence, and renewed trust in your body — able to plan, rest, and participate in life without constant fear.
Meet Your Guide: Jo Thomas
Steadier energy is possible — and gentle.
I’m Jo Thomas — a nurse, fatigue coach, and someone who has personally lived with, and recovered from, chronic fatigue. Today, I support people with CFS, long COVID, POTS, and related conditions to stabilise their energy, rebuild trust with their bodies, and create lives that feel meaningful and manageable.
Over the past six months, I’ve seen profound shifts in my 1:1 clients — not because they pushed harder, but because they finally had the right structure. That’s what inspired me to create this short, accessible course: to deliver the same proven tools in a gentle, doable format.
People don’t stay stuck because improvement isn’t possible.
They stay stuck because they’re trying to manage energy without support, clarity, or safety.
This toolkit gives you that structure — calmly, respectfully, and effectively.
Recovery looks different for everyone. For some, it means significant improvements in energy and quality of life. For others, it’s returning to old activities — and for many, it’s building a new life that protects wellness long-term. All of these paths are valid
The Core Principles Behind This Course
Learning to understand and manage your energy is one of the most powerful tools you have.
Proper pacing isn’t about doing less forever or shrinking your joy.
It’s about doing things differently:
✨Stabilising first, so your energy is predictable and reliable
✨Building capacity gradually, without fear of crashes
✨Listening to your body so you know when to rest
✨Gently challenging yourself when it’s safe, without fear holding you back
Nervous system regulation is the foundation that allows pacing and mindset strategies to stick. When applied safely, these tools reduce tension, make setbacks less draining, and allow energy to grow in a sustainable, compassionate way.
This course is not about pushing through symptoms, graded exercise, or forcing progress. Everything is grounded in safety, consent, and nervous-system-led pacing.
