Insomnia & Chronic Fatigue Recovery Coaching
Living with insomnia, chronic fatigue, or both (like I did) is harder than facing the path of healing. It may be uncomfortable, but I am here to report it's so worth it! The skills you will learn here will also spill over to other areas of your life (like social anxiety, performance anxiety, pain management, OCD, and more), contributing greatly to your overall well-being and sense of fulfillment. Your relationship to fear will transform: it will not run you - the recovery restores your power back to you.
Â
It sounds counter-intuitive, but applying greater control is fear's approach, which is why it is unhelpful in the long run. Methods of control may seem to work - for a while. But your power actually lies in your sense of calm and safety, in your confidence and your connection with your natural self. This is what we will restore to you, and with it, your natural ability to sleep and function well, with no special efforts needed to do so.
Sleep Coaching for Insomnia
I know how scared, lonely, misunderstood, unseen, disempowered, and frustrated this path can make you feel. Especially when you've tried it all and felt the panic, anxiety, and desperation when nothing worked. The thought "What if I never get back up?" I'm speaking from first-hand experience. Know that however it's affecting you, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and you will make it. I see you, and you don't have to do it alone. Let's move forward together toward brighter days. Together we'll: * Identify the real issue, redefining in a way that helps you rather than scares you. * Uncover the activity that keeps the cycle from resolving * Promote helpful and freeing habits instead * Step by step we'll change the story of your nervous system and mind -- and your freedom to live your life fully Please know it's OK to get the support you need. You don't have to do this alone.
Our anxiety around sleep fades, and we simply lose interest in fixing and protecting it. That's where the road of recovery leads.
Fatigue Recovery
Functioning feels hard, maybe near impossible, when you are dealing with chronic fatigue. You may want to go and do things, but the body is hindering you. Or, you feel like you just want to remain at home, free from obligations and the need to perform. Either way, THERE IS RELIEF, and A WAY OUT OF THIS this COMPLETELY. We reach the state of being rested and free not by avoiding the discomfort of fatigue, but by changing our relationship to it. If we allow the fatigue to run our lives, there is simply no way out. That's why the recovery process involves exposure: allowing fatigue to be in our experience but, together, learning to shift the response to it and accompanying symptoms. As we shift our response to our experience, our experience shifts. It worked for me, and for countless others, and even though each struggle seems special and unique, the underlying principles of recovery are the same. This may require courage, but it also brings tremendous relief and empowerment, as we learn what really lies behind our fatigue and that it's NOT physical! Recovery indeed involves learning that the body and mind are a unity. We also learn to rebalance the nervous system. Through this, we retrain our body and mind to feel calm and safe. We differentiate between physical and emotional fatigue. We undo the psychological and emotional pressure that is greatly contributing to the fatigue. All of the symptoms that are born of fear, pressure, and anxiety begin to fade.
Our energy returns, and one day, we notice that fatigue and the fear of fatigue are not even on our radar.
I have so much respect for you on this path. I know how powerful you really are. I know that with the right support, you will turn darkness to light. It's hard to believe, perhaps, but insomnia and chronic issues can very much be your gate to liberation and a life of effortless joy -- a life you love.

Let hope in.
