Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue produces pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons throughout the body, you also suffer from extreme exhaustion, even with a good nights sleep it won't relieve the tiredness, also exercise is not recommended as it only intensifies the symptoms. You have trouble with concentration or retaining new information. Your life is affected by chronic headaches, jaw pain, and you could have many other symptoms including non cardiac chest pain, acid reflux, irregular heart beat or palpitations, shortness of breath, irritable bladder, chemical sensitivities, depression, anxiety, and the list goes on.
Research has shown that underlying emotional issues can cause a significant affect on the body both physically and mentally. And by not releasing these issues they can contribute to physical ailments and diseases.
What I can do is help you with the pain management, while we work on what is causing these debilitating diseases by addressing the emotional cause.
I have had a lot of success with my clients with this disease, where we have alleviated a lot of the pain physically and emotionally and they can actually see a future.

Testimonial -From Fiona
I was sleeping 16-19 hours per day, in constant pain which ranged from excruciatingly sharp to a constant dull throbbing. My condition was so debilitating that I was unable to work. Cooking meals was an ordeal, getting dressed caused pain. Just the every day routine tasks that most people take for granted, felt to me as easy as climbing a mountain. At that time I knew I was suffering from Fibromyalgia and attended chiropractic sessions to realign my spine, and massage sessions to try to reduce the muscle atrophy. I took anti-oxidants and immune system boosters. I began making slow progress, but I still had a heaviness (like the weight of the world on my shoulders), and the chiropractor suggested I try some form of cognitive therapy. I didn't want to believe that my problems manifested from emotional baggage and that I needed therapy so I put it off; and of course my pain continued. Then like the universe giving me a little push, I saw an online advert for Personal Empowerment; I set up a meeting with Noeline and haven't looked back since.
I didn't know what to expect but at the first session Noeline set my mind at ease with her friendly, professional and of course, confidential approach. We worked through aspects of my life that I hadn't even realised I'd been carrying in my body (emotional and physical abuse, death of a sibling, end of relationships, betrayal by friends, my friends' problems, putting others' needs first, guilt, grief, anger, frustration) you name it, it was there! Together, Noeline and I tapped away the intensity of the memory, until I could reflect on each incidence without a rush of emotion, without shooting pains coursing through my body. We even tapped on the pain itself, concentrating on various areas of the body where I felt it most, and not moving on until the pain dissipated. With once weekly sessions for several months, Noeline and I worked through a lot and thanks to her, I now have this new daily tool to de-stress, lower emotional pain, look at issues objectively and to reduce my pain and discomfort. Nowadays, I'm up every morning, I go to the gym, I have a social life and have even been on holiday; and I've just started a university degree! I can honestly say, that today, I actually feel like a different person and I feel alive again. A friend said to me recently that I'm more like my old self again, but I realised I'm not - I'm a new person, my worries have been tapped away and I'm ready to start anew, thanks to Noeline and Personal Empowerment.
