Seventeen years ago Gemma had a virus which was later diagnosed as ME, meaning she could only attend school part time.
When Gemma went on to college she had to give up doing her A-levels and take a year out. Gemma later went back and trained in massage but again had to drop out as she no longer had the energy to talk to clients all day long.
In her late teens/early 20s Gemma started working part time but didn’t have much of a social life. Gemma said that she would have to plan ahead for where she would need her energy as she only had so much and once it had gone, that was it for the day.
Gemma then trained as a chef knowing that if she wanted to make this into a career then she would have to do something about the ME. She attended a local ME support group, in which Kathy a Lightning Process Practitioner came and gave a talk.
Gemma started the three day training course with Kathy and instantly felt better and was full of energy.
Gemma has started her cake making business and helps run the cafe which she owns with her partner. Being self-employed Gemma has to work long hours, something that she wouldn’t have been able to do before she did the Lightning Process. Her life has improved in all aspects as she can now go on long walks, and has a better social life too.
