The exact cause of CFS/ME is still not fully understood. It's believed to result from various factors, including viral infections, immune system dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition. Environmental triggers and stress may also play a role.
Common symptoms of CFS/ME include extreme fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cognitive impairments (often referred to as "brain fog"), muscle and joint pain, headaches, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, and post-exertional malaise (worsening of symptoms after physical or mental exertion).
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complicated and debilitating medical condition characterised by severe and persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest. It often leads to other symptoms, including muscle pain, cognitive difficulties, sleep disturbances, and more.

Starting a family and being far away from her home country was a challenging time in her life.

Now a mother of two, she enjoys supporting women through all stages of pregnancy, labour preparation, and postpartum.
She is also a foodie and often shares recipes and talks about her favourite dishes during a session.
