SUCCESS STORIES
BOB’S STORY
“The HEAL program helped him move out of a constant fight-or-flight state and into a new relationship with himself. The somatic practices, brain retraining, and parts work allowed him to feel grounded, connected, and, most importantly, safe. After years of feeling like a stranger in his own skin, Bob now wakes up with presence, clarity, and lives by his word, exuberance.”
Bob, in his 70s, spent decades battling relentless anxiety that left him feeling disconnected from his own life. Since his early 20s, he lived in a state of constant unease, often gripped by waves of panic, derealization, and depersonalization. For years, it felt like no one truly understood what he was going through until he found a new path to healing. Today, Bob says he’s living in a body that finally feels like home.
In his first week of the HEAL program, Bob noticed something remarkable: his nervous system began to settle. For the first time in years, he could take a deep breath without fear following close behind. That shift gave him hope and that hope gave him momentum. He began to recognize when his system was spiraling, learned how to pause and redirect, and slowly began rebuilding trust in himself and his body.
Prior to joining the program, Bob experienced:
- Persistent anxiety and panic
- Derealization and depersonalization
- Hypervigilance

JESSICA’S STORY
“Once I really was able to learn ‘I can sit with this and this is okay.’ That was transformational. I stopped trying to get rid of fear and started allowing healing to happen.”
Jessica, a former corporate professional and now a mom, has reclaimed her life and her energy. After years of struggling with chronic illness, she’s now living with joy, clarity, and connection — both with herself and her family. One of her biggest takeaways is that she’s finally learned to listen to her body and live from her authentic self, maybe for the first time ever.
In her first week of the HEAL program, Jessica felt something shift. For the first time in over a decade, she had hope. This emotional shift sparked real change — she began stepping out of survival mode, started identifying her nervous system states, and even returned to a sense of internal safety.
Prior to joining the program, Jessica experienced:
Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s
Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia
Brain Fog
Post-exertional malaise
Panic Attacks, Insomnia, Anxiety
Derealization and intrusive thoughts
Hair loss, Metabolism issues, Headaches
Jessica says the HEAL program helped her shift from a rigid, pressure-driven healing mindset into a more compassionate, flexible approach. She was deeply impacted by the parts work, vagus nerve toning, and the somatic tools that allowed her to finally communicate with her body, rather than fight against it.
“These are tools I will take through life and even hand down to my daughter.”
She realized that true healing wasn’t about fixing symptoms, but about changing her relationship with them. Once she stopped pushing away the fear and learned to sit with it, massive healing and emotional flexibility began to unfold. She reconnected with her true self, underneath all the protective layers.
“This is probably the first time in my life I’m parenting, choosing, and creating from a truly authentic place.”
Jessica recommends the HEAL program wholeheartedly, especially for those who feel overwhelmed by rigid protocols. It helped her stop comparing, stop rushing, and finally trust her own unique healing pace.
“If you’re stuck in perfectionism or pressure, HEAL gives you permission to let that go. It meets you where you are, helps you expand gently, and allows you to finally feel free.”
Marissa’s Story
“I feel every human should do that kind of work because it’s easy to get lost and to become this person that’s not really your true self. It’s the accumulation of all this stress and dysregulation”
Marissa, dog mom of two French bulldogs has her life back! She now runs her own digital marketing business, able to work everyday. She enjoys exercise and being social.
One of her biggest takeaways is she has found what it feels like to feel safe in her body for the first time ever.
First week into the program she felt a shift in her emotions. She felt like she had hope for the first time which started to catapult some behavioral changes in her first week, including leaving her house to go out to lunch – which was a huge win at the time!
Prior to joining the program Marissa experienced a myriad of symptoms:
- Vertigo/dizziness
- POTs
- Supraventicular Tachycardia
- Panic Attacks/anxiety
- Chronic Fatigue
She feels like the HEAL program taught her to live in today’s world that is full of stressors and not get totally dysregulated from it all, especially as her window of tolerance keeps getting bigger.
“I think that my biggest thing, that this is the greatest gift you can give to yourself.”
ISOBEL’S STORY
“My life is now “normal” whatever that means…My relationships in every sense have improved, I’m less anxiously attached, more secure in myself, have much clearer boundaries, and the list goes on!”
Isobel, 24, currently living in England, while officially diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2017 struggled with many health conditions since she was a young child:
Some of these symptoms include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Head & neck pain
- Heart Palpitations
- Anxiety/depression
- Light sensitivity
In the HEAL program Isobel learned early on that her symptoms were not against her, that indeed they were simply messengers that she didn’t have to fear anymore and this was an integral shift into healing. Through this reframe she was able to begin experiencing physical relief right away.
“I would say how incredible healing is, how amazing it is to be on this journey of rediscovering yourself aside from symptoms and illness.”
Eibhlin’s Story
“I’m not afraid to live!… I know I can extend my window of tolerance safely. Fear of symptoms is gone. My attitude toward life is much more positive. I am planning for my future. I am slowly working on strengthening my body after 36 years of horrific dis-ability.”
Eibhlin, 60, from Ireland, struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME/CFS, for over three decades before joining the HEAL Program.
Eibhlin explained how her first big win was saying goodbye to fear & not being afraid of her symptoms. From her she was really able to slowly expand her window of tolerance, to the point she actually discovered how much she wanted to move her body.
“I have absolutely no doubt that if this program had been available to me 36 yrs ago I could have had 34/35 wonderful years of better health… COMMIT to the work and watch your healing grow.”
SHEILA’S STORY
“It’s kind of mind blowing. I’m living a completely different life. And it even blows my husband away.”
Sheila, 58, has struggled with her health for 27 years before landing in the HEAL program.
Her main chronic symptoms were:
- Chronic fatigue Syndrome (fatigue & muscular weakness)
- Migraines
- Food sensitivities & leaky gut
- Hypothyroidism
Sheila found the state change practice as well as future self practice to be incredibly supportive in her journey. Through her state change practice she was able to increase her walking from ¼ mile to 3 miles / day. Future practice helped her to ground into a sense of wholeness & love.
“Just forget about “getting there“ -do the work and take all stress and outcomes out of the mix . Believe 100% that you can get better.”
Poppy’s Story
“So many times I’ve climbed a mountain, or gone on a big trip, or been out dancing with my friends,… and just thought “wow, this really works”
Poppy, 22, living in Nottingham UK, spent two years practically bed bound before finding the HEAL program. Her main symptoms were:
- Chronic fatigue Syndrome
- Insomnia
Poppy found the state change practice, Space, incredibly supportive early on. When she first realized she had a bit more energy than she was used to, she explains it was so unfamiliar it was almost scary-exciting.
For Poppy, the educational piece of the program helped her trust that she wasn’t “sick”, and it was essential and helped her make leaps and bounds in her healing.
“Do it! It saved my life, I don’t know where I’d be without it.”
AMY-LOUISA
“I hiked for a week straight everyday on the Camino De Santiago with my Dad. That would have been so far out of reality’s reach a few years before… And I did it, and I was excited about it, and I was so well the whole time. I was really strong.”
Amy-Louisa, 36, mother of 2 young children, a boy & girl, lives on the South Coast of England. She spent nearly 16 years chronically ill before finding the HEAL program.
Her main symptoms were:
- Lupus
- Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MXTD)
- Chronic Fatigue
Amy-Louisa found the variety of practices in the course helped introduce her to new ways of behaving with herself. Four or five weeks into the program she had her first major breakthrough walking her kids to school, while doing space under her breath. As she explains, “it was the first time in years and years I felt chronic fatigue fully lift, like a cloud was just removed from over my head.”
“Make space in your schedule and heart to really show up to the journey – because it’ll change your life and you will finally be able to reclaim the parts of your life lost to illness.”
Hanna’s Story
“I definitely have a life again. One that now aligns much more with who I truly am and want to be.”
Hanna, 37, from Germany, spent two years practically bed bound before finding the HEAL program. Some of her main symptoms were:
- Chronic fatigue Syndrome
- Insomnia
- Dizziness
- Visual disturbances
- Headaches
- Severe muscle pain
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Tinnitus
- Depression, and MORE
From the moment Hannah stopped reacting to her symptoms with concern or fear, but rather with compassion and understanding, they began to diminish. Additionally it was incredibly valuable for her to learn that she couldn’t calm her way out of a fight/flight state, and found the tools she learned to release this energy incremental for her healing.
“This stuff works! I don’t know anyone who has done the CFS School/HEAL program and hasn’t made progress.”
