"In just a short time on this programme, I am back at work, I have my quality of life back and now have more energy than I have had in years.  A complete recovery from an illness that I was initially told by my GP that I couldn't recover from (as it was a life long, life limiting condition), is now firmly in my grasp!"

In March, I was having severe neurological symptoms, unable to walk, numb down the right hand side of my body, lost the use of my arm for 5 days, having severe migraines and very unpleasant waves of 'electricity' coursing through my body. That was on top of my 'usual' symptoms of chronic fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, post exertional malaise, IBS, poor immunity etc.

I was being sent for emergency MRI scans and electrical conductivity tests as they thought I had Multiple Sclerosis. All the tests came back clear and I started to wonder what on earth was going on, so I started researching on the internet and found The Chrysalis Effect programme.

In just a short time on this programme, I am back at work, I have my quality of life back and now have more energy than I have had in years. A complete recovery from an illness that I was initially told by my GP that I couldn't recover from (as it was a life long, life limiting condition), is now firmly within my grasp!

"A few weeks into The Chrysalis Effect Recovery Programme I had a sense (for the first time) that deep and long-lasting recovery is possible. I also finally understood all the different factors that contributed to my illness."

A few weeks into the Chrysalis Effect Recovery Programme I had a sense (for the first time) that deep and long-lasting recovery is possible. I also finally understood all the different factors that contributed to my condition and that no one experience or decision or illness was responsible.

I now know that it is a multi-faceted condition brought on by an accumulation of wide-ranging issues that has been in the making for most of my life, and it is only by addressing every single aspect of my physical, mental and emotional health and well-being that recovery becomes a possibility.

I believe that people who don’t recover have not been able or prepared to look within to see how their life experiences in every way have contributed to the condition.

"This programme has made a difference that I'll not be able to put into words. Without this approach goodness knows where I would be."

This programme has made a difference that I'll not be able to put into words. When I was first diagnosed last year I was introduced to people that had been ill for years and were either convinced they could not recover or did not want to recover.

I was dubious when I first signed up to Chrysalis but it's saved my life, I really thought there was no point carrying on but this programme has addressed the "whole of life".

Without this approach goodness knows where I would be.

"You have given so many people their lives back, and we all have you to thank for putting this wonderful programme together... it genuinely frightens me to think where I would be today if I hadn't found The Chrysalis Effect."

I know I've said this before, but it genuinely frightens me to think where I would be today if I hadn't found the Chrysalis Effect - probably completely bed-bound, jobless and divorced.

As it is, I have rediscovered myself, I've got 90% recovery under my belt (and a solid plan to get the final 10% done!), and the prospect of fulfilling my life purpose within grasp. 

You have given so many people their lives back, and we all have you to thank for putting this wonderful programme together.

"After only 3 months of starting the programme I was buzzing! I was so much better that I couldn't believe it. All the advice my practitioner gave me was working and as I put more and more things into action I began to see a real difference in my energy levels."

After only 3 month of starting the programme I was buzzing! I was so much better that I couldn’t believe it.

All the advice my practitioner gave me was working and as I put more and more things into action, I began to see a real difference in my energy levels.

Now 2 years on I am totally in control of my health. I have accomplished so much in the last 2 years in terms of better health and firmly believe that I will go from strength to strength with the knowledge that I have accrued since completing the programme. With help from The Chrysalis Effect team I am now living a normal life again.

"The programme has been a massive help to my recovery, which I can honestly say is well on the way. I now consider myself as someone who is recovering from ME rather than having ME, a definite change of language!"

The programme has been a massive help to my recovery, which I can honestly say is well on the way. I now consider myself as someone who is recovering from ME rather than having ME, a definite change of language!

When I look at the how I was 9 months ago compared to now, so much has happened, in a very positive way. A biggie has been in the area of emotions and relationships. I can honestly say that I now have my life back (and have a big smile to show it!)

Having just turned 60, I plan to make the most of life - something I could never have foreseen being the case before I came across the Chrysalis Effect as I had ME all the way through my 50's.

I need to build up my energy levels now, with walking etc, which will be a pleasure.

I got into debt, spending many thousands of pounds trying all sorts of therapies and supplements.

I found The Chrysalis Effect early 2017 and in just 6 months my symptoms have reduced by 83%. I am finally getting my life back through their online recovery programme which educates on all aspects of chronic exhaustive conditions.

With support from a Specialist Practitioner at TCE, I am close to full recovery from Fibromyalgia.

If it wasn’t for TCE I don’t know where I or my young son would be today.

"I have had no relapse for 3 months now and also being out of pain, I'm feeling energy like never before. I'm even feeling human which is quite scary!!"

When I signed up to The Chrysalis Effect in the beginning of 2013 they turned out to be my shining light in my most difficult time. I was so ill and housebound at this point and I could only see negative outcomes - I was in the most dark and of scariest place.

Since working very hard at the programme, changing my diet and learning meditation, I am now in the process of returning to work.

I can now walk as far as I want with no payback, do ten minutes on a cross trainer every day with no pay back, and I have had no relapse for 3 months now and also being out of pain, I'm feeling energy like never before. I'm even feeling human which is quite scary!!

Very shortly after my fatigue diagnosis, I came across The Chrysalis Effect and joined immediately.

I have been working with 2 Chrysalis practitioners (nutrition and counselling) to help me fully understand the emotional things and build on that moment.

Since working with The Chrysalis Effect my pain has significantly reduced and I have been able to drive again which I'm so excited about.

I have hope again.

"The Chrysalis Effect community will always hold a very dear place in my heart and I’ll be forever grateful for the provision of the support and knowledge that I needed to rebuild my life. I do need to let go and fly with my own wings now but hope to be in a position in the future to rejoin the community, support others and contribute to the outstanding work you’re all doing!"
