The Chrysalis Effect offers an established step-by-step pathway to help support sufferers of M.E/CFS and Fibromyalgia on their journey to regain health and well-being. 

The M.E Association state that 'recovery is rare' and actively report organisations, who believe it is possible to regain health, return to work and normal energy levels, to the Advertising Standards Authority. The tried-and-tested protocol used by The Chrysalis Effect was developed by Elaine Wilkins following her own six-year battle to overcome M.E/CFS and seeks to address the underlying causes of physical and emotional health, using the Bio-Psycho-Social approach rather than the Bio-medical approach favoured by the M.E Association.

To date more than 5000 people in 27 countries have accessed the pathway which is gaining significant attention and endorsement from medical health professionals and is a commissioned service for NHS patients in the Midlands, so far.

Elaine Wilkins

Elaine Wilkins

Founder

I'm Elaine and I founded The Chrysalis Effect after my own challenging experience of developing M.E. in 2000. I couldn't find the help I needed and was pretty much left to lay in a bed.

It took me over 6 years to recover fully.

But I did recover and my passion to help others in this terrible situation was ignited by the tragic suicide of a 34 year old M.E. sufferer who could not face another day of her illness.

I knew I had to do something to help others realise that recovery was possible and The Chrysalis Effect was born.

Success Stories

"What makes it unique is the coordinated approach."

I chose the recovery programme because my partner found a YouTube video of Elaine and Kelly talking about recovery from CFS. I was very firmly in denial but checked it out on his insistence and really to keep him quiet!

What makes it unique is absolutely the coordinated approach. I was seeing a psychotherapist, a chiropractor, a homeopath all separately with each believing they could make me well. I still see them but I now have a greater awareness of how they fit in.

The greatest help has been understanding high sensitivity, seeing exactly how I got ill, knowing that I will get better. So, greater self awareness I would say.

Sorry I don't have many photos of me. This ones not great and I was actually quite poorly when it was taken in March this year. Sending it anyway, I've come a long way since then!

It's great to have a constant support that I can access any time of day.

Your material reminds me each day that regaining full health is a very achievable goal.

"To be able to follow step by step, with guided help is amazing."

I really appreciate the time and thought you are putting in to helping me, as I have been so ill and have been all over the place trying to get well. This is why I think your programme is so great.

To have a programme that you can follow step by step, with guided help is amazing. I have been on many sites, read lots of books, but this, as far as I know is the only one that puts it all together in a step by step programme.

For someone with M.E, CFS. it's great because it takes the effort out of trying to find the answers and searching other sites, which I found very draining and confusing.

I don’t have to look anymore, I can focus on my recovery, knowing I am supported every step of the way.

I don't know how to thank you - and I now have my life back.
