Alice's coaching sessions have been a game-changer on my healing journey. I have been suffering from Long Covid (POTS, PPPD and ME/CFS like symptoms) for a couple of years, was bed-bound for about a year, then house-bound for quite some time. The tools Alice taught me enabled me to see the symptoms in a different light, to accept them, and to calm down the resistance and fear responses.

​

The most important lesson I learned is that these symptoms do not behave like acute or structural illness symptoms. For example, when fatigue kicks in, I know now that it is not necessarily rest that my body needs. On the contrary, often, doing a joyful activity and moving my body has been much more helpful. While pacing (or better, trying to pace) and the fear of overdoing it made my symptoms worse, the MBR approach helped me to get out of my house again. When I first met Alice, I could barely walk 500 steps a day; now, on good days, it’s more than 10.000 steps. I can spend time with family and friends again, I can work again, I feel alive again, and I can actually enjoy my life again.

​

I am still on my journey, but as healing continues, I am confident that things will get better and better. If you ask yourself if you should try this approach and coaching with Alice, I can only recommend doing so. Alice is competent, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She is a wonderful person, and I don’t have the words to express my immense gratitude to her.
