Online ME/CFS Group Mentoring
Do you find yourself alone with your ME/CFS condition, struggling with the isolation and loneliness of trying to heal all by yourself?
Has it taken you months, or even years, to navigate your way through the slew of options available in the online space, that is, having given up on the mainstream?
Do you feel you have looked everywhere for solutions and still there's a deeper, pervasive anxiety that is eluding you but you can't seem to hone in on it?
This group would suit you if you have come to the point where you understand there is more to this condition than mere physicality: you are a body AND a mind and soul. Treating the body without referring to the mind is like re-arranging the deckchairs on the titanic! You need to find the life raft, not mess about with superficialities.
Working on the mind with no guidance, can leave you searching for that elusive key to discover your own solution. Bringing that solution into focus in the company of other seekers with myself, your guide, will help bring you a step closer to your recovery – AND in the good company of your fellow journeyers.
The creation of this group has been initiated by a video interview I gave in May 2024 which created a high demand for 1-2-1 sessions. As a result, I now feel compelled to open up opportunities for group work at a lesser cost, to help those who feel isolated and alone on this journey to find their way home. Having informed and enlightening company from each other that hears where you are, that understands your struggles, that inspires you and helps your healing journey is a gift. You can even make friendships and support each other outside of sessions on our private and unlisted Facebook forum that you have the option to join once you are one of our group.
This is the video that made such a massive change to my working life and allows me now to help more of you:
Raelan would love a subscribe from you and for you to root around in her other videos to listen to the testimonials of others who have been on their own unique journey of recovery.
Once I realised that my emotions were directly linked to my body, I understood what my symptoms were telling me. They were saying: “hello there? I’m here! Would you mind paying attention and using me as your guide? I’m tired with taking orders from that sargeant major up there!” It’s been a revelation. I never realised I had so much energy tied up in trying to ignore my bodytalk. Coming home has been like a big, warm, internal hug. I didn’t realise I could just be me, and still be likeable! My anxieties have largely melted. Sometimes I can feel my head doing the work again, but I know, when that happens, my symptoms may return momentarily, just to remind my inner knowing by saying, “Oh no. Look down here please. You don’t need to keep placing yourself in alarm. I’m here. We are fine just as we are.”
This online group work is designed to be soulful, searching, and to challenge you. You can feel supported, not only by myself, but by each other and my colleague, Jackie Byrd. Jackie is supporting administratively and has also been on her own path of spiritual growth and personal transformation. She has over 30 years experience as a holistic practitioner including Reiki, Reflexology and Acupuncture.At times, we will press your buttons and open up discussion; at others we’ll reflect, imagine together and experience oneness with self and others. There is space to discuss in 2’s or 3’s and then come together again for group feedback. Our programme will be tailored to you and will be different with every cohort of participants as we navigate the challenges particular to each group.
If you have already seen me on a 1-2-1 and want to use the group as an accountability group or to share your onward journey and gain more inspiration, you are also welcome.
I have been healing from CFS/ME for almost two years. I joined two online programs and made significant progress, but I still felt like I had to keep hiding in my shell just to get through each day.
Working with Jenny truly changed things for me. I had six one-to-one sessions and also joined the group sessions, and from the very first meeting, I felt safe, accepted, and able to trust her. The hypnotherapy sessions were incredibly powerful, helping me confront my fears and the things that were holding me back.
The group sessions were equally transformative. It was amazing how, under Jenny’s guidance, we were able to feel completely safe, connect deeply, and resonate with each other on a profound level.
I might not be 100% healed yet, but there’s definitely a growing confidence in me that I will be okay. And that feeling is priceless.

Taking part in the group ME mentoring with Jenny has been an important part of my recovery journey. I have learnt lots of practical tools around setting boundaries and asserting my needs, and have also had some shifts in letting go of anxiety. But for me the best part was being able to connect with other people who are on a similar journey; the sessions were like a warm hug and made me feel less isolated and alien!

I was a bit tentative about it all at the start, but I think it’s turned out really well. It’s been extremely helpful and enlightening for me, in many ways. Thanks so much to you and Jackie for setting it up and providing such a safe and supportive environment for us. I’m sure I’m not the only one that is very grateful to have found you and your so helpful approach to our condition.

Coming home…..
The online group was reassuring, warm and supportive beyond anything I could have imagined.
Jenny is like a spiritual mother leading each one of us away from our pain and suffering into our freedom.
The group was incredibly powerful as we helped see and accept each other and ourselves beyond the labels we’ve been given, feeling comfortable and appreciated for who we really are.
Invisible and chronic illnesses can make us feel unseen, not only by others, but firstly by ourselves, and so this was an opportunity to sink into our deeper knowing and the safe space so generously created by Jenny and Jackie allowed us to finally take off the armour to see the gold that lies within.

Wow this was such a deep healing journey. I was struck on how much commonalities we shared in this group and how well others were able to mirror my own life in ways far beyond the physical symptoms. I was also surprised on how warm and easy the atmosphere would feel in an online group. I was thrilled at last to find this kind of therapeutic help that I actually felt was targeted to the kind of issues relevant for me. Jenny had so so much timeless wisdom to share that I’ll remember years to come. My deepest thanks!

What to expect
The overall goal is to enable, inspire and encourage you to ‘come home’: stop looking outside of yourself for solutions; they are all inside just where you are. With others around you, you can find the courage to look in the dusty places, and see where you’ve been abandoning yourself for the sake of keeping up your strong exterior.
Even if you choose to never work with me, let me tell you now. Those of you living with this condition of ME/CFS are amazing people; kind, thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive, warm and you deserve to be well and happy. I have never met a client with ME/CFS who does not fit that description. You may not believe it, but you are our future healers and way showers: YOU matter just for being you. That may be a contrary message to the one you’ve been getting from the mainstream but I have treated so many with this condition I don’t know any different; that is just how I see and experience you.
You will have homework to do ranging from meditations, journalling, audio courses, and other activities. Though there is no pressure. You do what you can and we explore the results.
