About Alice
I suffered from CFS/ME for 3 years and then fully recovered through The MindBody Reconnect (MBR). I had fatigue, pain, migraines, heart palpitations and insomnia, amongst many other symptoms, which eventually resulted in me being signed off work and housebound. I was told by my doctor that there was no cure and I must learn to live with my symptoms. I was initially sceptical of the MBR approach but not only did my symptoms completely improve but MBR also empowered me with the tools to understand and respect myself, leading me to create a more fulfilled life with healthy relationships. This inspired me to train with Clare Caldwell to become a qualified MBR Practitioner and guide others in their recovery. I am also now an MBR trainer, teaching people this life changing knowledge and supporting some to become MBR practitioners themselves.
I have successfully guided people in their recovery from ME/CFS, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, IBS, anxiety, depression, insomnia and migraines, amongst other chronic conditions, using the MBR approach.
I live in South West England with my partner, daughter and dog, and I savour every day of symptom free life doing things like growing veg, enjoying music, running, lino prints, seeing friends and going on adventures.
For a long time I didn’t think I would ever be well enough to have a child. It still blows my mind. I am endlessly grateful.
Before becoming an MBR practitioner and trainer (and a mother) I spent years working on an organic vegetable farm as a grower as well as running a therapeutic horticulture project for people struggling with their mental health.
Previous to that I was pretty much a full time activist- campaigning on issues such as environmental destruction, climate change and migrant justice.
As well as being an MBR practitioner I also run workshops on activist burn out and how to build resilience in a time of constant crisis.
I have years of experience supporting people with their wellbeing and I'm passionate about viewing health through a personal, social and political lens.
