“I was experiencing fatigue, including cognitive fatigue, disturbed sleep and head and neck pain. Through my tailored programmes I have learnt a lot of coping strategies which help me to manage my health. I am now able to sustain work and I make sure I have ‘chill out Wednesdays.’”

“I got struck down by the juggernaut that is CFS/ME. This condition is absolutely devastating, and my heart goes out to all those who have been unlucky enough to be affected by it. BUT the main message I want to convey, from my lived experience, is that you CAN get better!”

“Forcing myself to keep going became a way of life. I continued to push myself relentlessly ignoring what my body was telling me. Medical appointments left me feeling unheard and with no clear way forward. Following the personally designed Vitality360 programme, I now feel able to approach my future with hope.”

“My clinician supported me to realise that although my capacity to work may be diminished, my capability isn't.”

“After suffering for many months, I am so thrilled and relieved at the change in just a short time. Vitality360 were an absolute lifeline to me, and I feel lucky that I am finally getting my life back thanks to their support.”

“I now have the tools and techniques to actually manage my symptoms. I have much improved mental health, no longer plagued by anxiety and depression.”

“My clinician broke activities down into small bite-sized tasks that I knew I could complete, affirmed my progress and provided insight into how others had got through long covid.”

“I am undergoing a phased return to work, next stage in, hopefully, a return to the life I led pre-pandemic. I will always remember the part the Vitality360 team have played in that journey.”

“When I first spoke to Jessica at Vitality360 in May 2022, I had a persistent cough and no energy at all, as well as a number of other symptoms that included headaches, brain fog, and problems with my speech and swallowing. I was struggling to keep on top of things like the housework and only cooking light meals that were easy to cook. I felt guilty and frustrated about being off from a job that I loved doing.”

“Emily helped me understand that healing was holistic and that I needed to find enjoyment in my life again as well as building my stamina.

Amanda showed me that I ‘had the capability but not the capacity’ to do my work and that being part time wasn’t a failure. All of this helped me regain some confidence in myself and what I could still achieve.”

“It has changed my life and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The advice that Bev and Amanda have given me has changed my life for the better and has enabled me to really look at my day and structure it to help support my condition. The whole team have been fantastic & I wish everyone with this condition had the opportunity to work with you guys and get the benefits I have.”

“Emily [Tims] took the time to understand me, how my ADHD tied into my long Covid and more broadly how I approach things in my day to day life. She actually made me feel like she was working with me as an individual and not just applying a pre-made solution to me. I'm very grateful for this.”

“I was supported to work out how to sustain employment in my role considering my condition. I attended a workplace meeting with my employer where we discussed how this would be done. I was able to learn how to be explicit about my needs. I returned to work in a phased and part time manner increasing my hours over time. I am now able to prioritise rest and recovery and can be assertive in an at times demanding work environment. “
