Testimonials
I have been privileged to work with some delightful clients; here are some of the things they say:
Rebecca, Cornwall
My name is Rebecca. I’m sixteen and had m.e. for about 4 years. Even though I was ill for 4 years I wasn’t diagnosed with m.e. until March 2009 and by that time I had left school and couldn’t go out of the house because these mysterious symptoms had become so un-manageable. When I did finally get given a name for what was happening to me, of course my parents and I tried everything recommended to us to rid the symptoms and get me well again. We tried various therapies and numerous amounts of medication to at least ease the symptoms but nothing seemed to have a lasting (if not any) effect.
By the time 2010 had come most of my family had given up and had accepted me as an ill person who would hopefully, one day, get better! Then January came and I heard about the lightening process and how it had magically cured so many people with m.e. My parents were cautious about it, even though I was very willing to give it a go; it was a fair bit of money and they didn’t want me to be disappointed. However after they read the many success stories on it and heard Esther Rantzen and her daughter had success with it, they agreed that I could give it a go. So in February I did my three day training programme. It was an experience I feel blessed to of been given. I haven’t regretted a single day since I graduated from it. As for the days leading up to my recovery I have to admit I was ‘doing’ worried. I was of course worried about it not working for me and I was worried about getting better! I know that must sound strange but I had played the ill person for so long I wasn’t sure I knew how to be well. I had nothing to worry about though; it wasn’t that I didn’t know, it was that I had forgotten. Also I was ‘doing’ anxiety as I had to walk into a room with 5 people and socialise!
To be able to witness the change in the people in my group was amazing. They all walked out different people and they all looked well and happy when they left on day three. I was glad to be part of that groups and to take the first part of the journey with them. I found they also gave me the inspiration to do the process and live the ife I love because I saw the progress they had made in such a short space of time.
Looking back I am very proud of my self as I accomplished so much in so little time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone and I’m so glad I had Julia as a practitioner. She knew exactly what to do and say to put me on the right track. My advice for you is this, if you choose to do this give it your all and you won’t regret it! Remember though it is a THREE day training course so take your time and if I can do it you most certainly can. You’ll be great at it!
It has been only 5 and a half months since I chose to do the lightening process. I have just finished my GCSE’s. I have a part-time job and I’m starting college in Setpember.
Duncan, Scottish Borders
Before attending the LP course I felt around 30% well. Now, 3 weeks after the training I feel 90% well and I am continuing to feel better and better. The LP is an extremely powerful tool that enables me to choose how I feel at any given moment. I am sure I will be feeling completely well very soon; if I continue to use the process, as I definitely will, 100% health and a life that I love really is the only possible outcome!
I can’t imagine a better teacher and coach than Julia. Her instructions and presentation were fantastically clear and easy to follow. Because of her calm and compassionate assistance and explanation of how to get the best from the process some off the improvements and changes I experienced at the training were quite staggering. She taught me so well that I went away with a really firm grasp of this profoundly life-enhancing and yet surprisingly simple technique. Thank you!
Theresa, Cornwall
In spite of an instant healing after doing the Lightning Process with our wonderful practitioner, Julia, I felt that after 9 years of ME my age would hinder many previous activities; I was wrong!
Now I feel better than I did 15 years ago and am enjoying life to the full. I’m sculpting, gardening, dancing and travelling; there just isn’t enough time for my busy life.
I never miss an opportunity to recommend the course and am delighted when I see others take it up and be healed as quickly as I was.
Heartfelt thanks, Julia.
Freya, Cornwall
I had CFS for five months, which was long enough for me. I tried other treatments and they helped a little, temporarily. Before applying to do Lightning Process I spent hours (when I could) reading and watching other people’s testimonials; they all said the same thing, one way or another, ‘I feel great now’ – I wanted to feel great too.
A week after completing the course I find myself wondering how to write my story, all I can come up with is ‘I feel great’!
Julia is an excellent coach and a wonderful example of what can be achieved. I can’t thank her enough.
Karen, Cornwall
Four weeks ago I completed the lightening process with Julia & have not looked back.
My life has transformed, it’s better than before I was ill!!!
I was diagnosed with post viral fatigue syndrome following the swine flu & flu vaccinations although had not felt “well” for a couple of years. Looking back I was an accident waiting to happen due to the way I was living my life, pushing myself to the limit. Four months of my life was obliterated with constant tiredness, aching limbs & a total feeling of hopelessness. The illness was so unpredictable a good day followed by several bad days. An impossible situation with a family & a business to run.
Thank goodness my mum heard of the lightening process & that I found Julia.
After the first session I cycled 3 miles, helped the boys with homework & cooked a wonderful meal for my husband. All of which I enjoyed without any repercussions the next day. My energy levels are amazing & were immediately.
My beliefs & attitude to life have changed. There were 5 people in my group, & every single person made progress – it was amazing!
Now I am a healthy & happy person I know I can achieve whatever I want in life & have the training to help me do so whenever needed. I would not hesitate to recommend the lightning process to anyone reading this. £590 sounds a lot of money, but it is worth every penny – you get your life back & more.
Julia is a wonderful coach & the lightening process was an incredible journey for me.
Go for it – you won’t regret it!
Anne, Cornwall
It’s now a year since I completed the Lightning Process with Julia and I can honestly say it has been transformative and life-changing – and continues to be so.
The best way I can sum it up is by saying that it has enabled me to LIVE a positive life, instead of talking about living a positive life. I came to the LP because I’d been diagnosed with ME, but it would be a real shame if the association with ME discouraged anyone reading this from doing it – because what it’s about is taking control of your life, regardless of the particular issues that are holding you back or challenging you.
I recall describing myself on the first day as an “optimistic catastrophiser” – my brain and emotions a permanent battle ground between trying to be positive and a default position of terrible anxiety. I must have owned nearly every self-help book of Amazon stock – not that I read them; I expected them to work by osmosis! I’ve always “rehearsed” the view that, whilst you can’t choose what happens to you, you can choose how you react. The LP enables me to LIVE that – to BE positive– and it has been thoroughly tested through some life events since!
I was a dreadful procrastinator, a destructive perfectionist and, as Julia shrewdly observed in our initial conversation, horribly prone to over-analysing. (She probably didn’t say horribly!) All of that is firmly in the past. The difference in me now is amazing – the LP isn’t a magic wand, but it does equip you with the tools to make magical changes in the way you live your life, you just have to keep applying them.
The other thing I’d like to share is – it didn’t all fall into place for me on the first day. Far from it. I went home dispirited and demoralised. I very nearly threw in the towel and didn’t go back. It was Sam’s testimonial – sharing that it hadn’t clicked for him until the third day – that gave me the boost to keep going with it and by day 3, for me and the two special ladies I did the course with, the penny had most definitely dropped!
Julia is a wonderful facilitator, firm, fair, kind but not soppy. Her follow up is really encouraging and will help to keep you on track – gently pointing out passive language and reminders of how the LP can be applied.
Undertaking the LP course was, by far, the best decision I’ve ever made and the best money I’ve ever spent – an investment in a wonderful future.
So – if you are reading this and wondering if it’s for you, if it’s worth the money – please, grasp the opportunity. Do it for you. You won’t regret it.
Steven, Glasgow
Thanks again for everything. To say your help with the lightening process has totally turned my life around is a complete understatement. It has been a fantastic journey for me and I’m enjoying very single minute of it.
Around a year ago I could not stand long enough to make a cup of tea or use the toilet. I never left the house very often and when I did I couldn’t wait to return home, it was a terrible time. I now strongly believe these times are long gone now and in the past to stay.
It is a completely different story now, I work 7 hours each day ( soon to be 8 ) five days a week and things are great I look forward to each and every day and no matter what I am doing I have a fantastic time doing it. The lightening process has completely changed my life and I am so pleased I attended the process and had the chance to meet up with you. Your help has been fantastic and i would like to thank you again for your help.
DM, Glasgow
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Lightning Process has turned my life around. Five, long years ago I was struck with ME/CFS. As with most people, my life became stuck in a rut of physical, mental and emotional pain. I tried all kinds of ‘cures’, spent so much time trying to figure out why/how I became ill and why me? Then in 2009, with friends and family becoming increasingly worried about me – and almost giving into acceptance that life as I knew it was partially over for me – I decided enough was enough. The only option left to me – the Lightning Process.
If you’re reading this and are in the depths of despair about how your life has become – you can change all of this. I am testament to that fact! Since taking part in the course I have become the person I used to be before my illness struck – only better.The tools and techniques shown to me on the course have set me up for life. I look at things in a whole new light and my health is almost as good as new!
I feel so blessed that I have a wonderful life again, and its all thanks to Julia, the LP, and some good old fashioned hard work -from me and my coach! If you’re at all in doubt whether or not to give the course a shot – I urge you to go for it. You have nothing to lose, just everything wonderful to gain.
Nicola, Inverness
It has been 2 weeks since I attended the Lightning Process training course and what a transformation.
For anyone reading this and thinking about coming on the course I will give you a summary of my experience.
I have had Post Viral fatigue for 3 years and as many of you will be aware of the many varied symptoms I won’t dwell on them. A brief history of my illness was that I had been off work for major periods 3 times in the past 3 years. The longest episode lasted for a year and a half and I was more or less housebound for a large chunk of that time.
After all this time off work I eventually felt a bit better so returned to work part time for a few months. I then increased this to full time and went back to my original job, which involved a fair bit of travelling. By 4 months back into the job I could feel all the old issues cropping up again, chronic fatigue, muscle aches and pains, lack of concentration and generally feeling exhausted and fluey.
Just before attending the LP course I had been off work ill again for over 3 months and felt I was getting gradually worse on a daily basis.
I had tried many things to try to recover in the past that either worked briefly or not at all. When I read of the LP it sounded amazing, but perhaps too good to be true, however the fact that Esther Rantzen endorsed it made me go for it. After all, she is someone in the public eye who is very trustworthy and both her and her daughter had used it successfully. I went into the course believing it would help me and that I would work hard to ensure I did whatever was required.
My condition on the days before the course involved sleeping restlessly all night from about 11pm and on till about 1 or 2pm the next day, getting up feeling exhausted and extremely sore and unable to do a great deal.
By the end of the first day of the LP, I had been up since 7:30am, driven 45 mins to the course, concentrated and contributed to the course for 4 hours, driven home for 45 mins, went for a grocery shopping, walked the dog, made a casserole and helped my husband build a greenhouse until 10pm!
I haven’t stopped since then, I do the process when I have to, but I must admit most of the time now it happens automatically and I am totally living the life I love! I have so many plans that my husband jokes that he can’t keep up with me!
I have no doubt this will continue to work for me in the future as I have had the training to know what to do to stop any reoccurrence in its tracks.
Thank you so much Julia, for the care and attention you gave to each individual on the course and for giving me my life back.
If you are reading this and think you can’t afford the course, the actual answer is that you cannot afford not too! Your life will be transformed!
Sam, Cornwall
Julia it’s been about a month since I did the Lightning Process with you and my fellow ME sufferers and my life is great. I’d like to say back to normal before getting ill, but I’m not, I’m better than I was before I was ill! I can see things very differently now.
I think for the sake of others who might be reading this who are unsure whether they would benefit from the process I might give them some of my concerns before I did the LP and how they have worked out during and after the process.
I was worried about doing the seminar with other people, probably because I didn’t think I would get value for money out of the teaching- but I now realise that doing the seminar with other sufferers was brilliant for realising how to be effective with the process and for a greater understanding of the problems all ME sufferers face and for the reassuring smiles when your confronting something difficult. It was also the first time I’d met other sufferers.
I was worried about the cost of process, namely could I justify it? All I can say is that it was the best £560 I have ever spent! It’s a small price to pay if you have serious about getting your life back on track!
Will it work? This for me was the hardest question to comprehend before I did the LP. But if you feel as though you would drop whatever you are doing and start it tomorrow I’d recommend it! I had the feeling as though any improvement would be great, and I’m glad to say I have seen improvements to nearly every side of my life.
Lastly, when your doing the process you may find it challenging how to make it work. Don’t give up, I really felt the effects from the last day! I woke up on the third morning slightly confused and frustrated with my progress and was near to tearful at the prospect of finishing the last day not getting the process. But at some point during the last seminar “it clicked” and I left buzzing like a bee who had got the honey! I went home, packed my sports bag and went swimming for hour, came back and cooked dinner for my family whilst dancing with radio on full blast and went out to the pub to celebrate my changes! I haven’t looked back! I still use the process and I’m in contact with my LP teacher when I have concerns.
What are you waiting for?!
July 2009
I just wanted to let you know that I am a “Powerful Genius” as I completed my 10k run in 55 minutes yesterday! It seemed like a massive distance when I first put my name down for it (in February) as I was still building my fitness up after completing the process with you in December. But I managed to train for it whilst working and socialising really well… Now I’m considering doing a sprint triathlon or half marathon, but I may also give myself a break first!
I wanted to say thank you for putting my life back on track, things are going really well and I start a new job on Monday as an Estate Agent…The job is going to require lots of hours working 6 days a week, which I am confident I will be able to handle as I am a healthy happy person! Thank you Julia for changing my life and sponsoring me for my run, it really helped me believe that if you believed I could do then I could do it!
I’ve attached some pictures from the run yesterday – which prove I actually did it! I look forward to seeing you in the future, whenever it may be.
21yr old client, Perth
Over 6 years ago I was diagnosed with severe IBS and it altered my life completely. I eventually discovered, after several tests, that to control it I had to cut out wheat, dairy and coffee. This meant I could no longer enjoy food and eating out became a chore.
Also around this time, I don’t know if it was related, I developed an eating disorder similar to bulimia. However this was not diagnosed until I was 20, over 4 years later. It was like a horrid secret always hanging over me. Food controlled my entire life, what I could eat, when would I be able to eat next without anyone seeing me?
Then I heard about the Lightning Process. The first time I applied I didn’t get onto the course as I was not ready. I then read the book and I knew completely that this was going to work for me. I applied for the next course and I managed to get on to it.
They were an incredibly interesting and exciting three days. I left my scientific and logical mind at the door and concentrated on learning the process. Since I did the course I have gradually reintroduced various foods into my diet and I now can eat what ever I want. I am trying lots of different types of foods and most importantly I am happy to eat in front of others so can enjoy food at social occasions. It has completely changed my life for the better and I now feel like I can live a life free from the restrictions food used to cause me.
Sylvia, Birmingham
Thank you so much for enabling me to make positive choices in my life, leading me forward to a life I love.
Many good things have happened to me since participating in the lightning process course, but I should like to share two really significant changes. Just before attending the course, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I was about to embark on two long flights, one to South Africa & after a 5-day break, on to Australia. In both countries there was to be internal travel. I was anxious as to how my back would cope with the length of time with restricted movement. You helped me to address this situation through lp & throughout the journeys I experienced no discomfort.
Another issue that concerned me was that, although I had been driving for many years, I rarely did long distances & as I grew older, I became increasingly anxious about attempting this. When my husband & I arrived at Sydney airport & was about to pick up a hire car, my husband realised he had forgotten his driving licence. To my horror, the car had to be registered in my name & I should have to do all the driving. I knew our itinerary was tight & one of the journeys was from Sydney to Melbourne, via the Princes Highway. This involved driving over 1,000 miles in two days. After the initial shock, I did the lp process at the counter, signed the documents, was handed the keys to the car & off we went.
I had to drive through Sydney for about 40 minutes to the b&b where we were to stay that night. As the journey progressed, I felt more & more confident & by the time we had reached our destination, I was doing great! During the holiday, I drove with complete happiness & on handing the car in at Melbourne airport, I’m happy to say there wasn’t a mark on it!
We flew to Tasmania to stay with some dear friends, both of whom were quite ill. They had an old estate car, which they only used for very local distances. I offered to drive the car whilst we were there. The husband commented that the car had done more miles over the three days we stayed with them than it had done over the last six months! Lp has completely changed my attitude & ability to drive long distances (& I’ve overheard my husband telling his friends about my driving in Australia).
I have related just two of the ways I have used the tools of lp to redirect my brain & am continuing to use these skills. Thank you again, Julia. I witnessed the dramatic change lp made in your life & I am so grateful to be reaping the benefits.
Louise, Dudley
I was first diagnosed with M.E. – or post viral syndrome as it was that classed – in 1989 during my second year at University. This led to me having to leave, and finish my degree back at home. My first year at Uni was probably the last time I felt truly well, until doing the Lightning Process in February 2009. During those 20 years I have had 5 significant ‘bouts’ that led to time off/having to leave work and live a severely reduced lifestyle. Even when I was supposedly well, everything felt like a fight to make it through the day. My youngest son (now neatly 5) had never really known me well. I found the LP website in Nov 2008 but did feel it was for me at that time, I couldn’t believe that it could only take 3 days to be well, having been ill for so long. However a friend told about some of his family members who had been on the course and were now well, so I looked at it again, and found a course nearby. Even having read the LP book, I began to feel a little better, and was able to go out to lunch with friends and did not have to retreat straight to bed afterwards. Family and friends were excited but cautious as no-one wanted to get their hopes up too much, but I was confident that LP would work and stayed positive in the weeks leading up to the course. Julia was a very gentle, gracious course leader who worked individually with the people on the course and the various issues we each had. This was just what I needed having been told by Docotrs over the years that it was a subjective illness, or that I would have to ‘pace’ myself for the rest of my life and accept the limitations the illness brought. At times it felt to simple or too good to be true that this process could give me my life back. However, after the first session I walked 2 miles to my hotel with my case without even really thinking about it. Prior to doing LP I had to be driven everywhere and even going out for coffee would send me to bed for a couple of days after.
Since returning home 2 weeks ago life is completely different. People have constantly commented on how well I am, and that it is nice to have me back!! I am now enjoying my 3 children rather than having to force energy to do things with them, then crash once they are in bed. My husband is off for a well deserved few days away and whereas before he couldn’t even have contemplated, it is now no problem at all and i have no qualms about managing the kids while he’s away. I am also due to go back to work in a few weeks, as a senior social worker, which is not the most stress free job, but again I know I will be able to go back and stay well using the process as necessary. 2009 looks set to be a good year, and the first of many!!

Before anything else a huge thank you for all you have enabled me to achieve these last three days. It really was a life-changing experience. Today I went for a long walk with Brian and the dogs. As I strode ahead I could hear B puffing along behind me. Also when we got back I had a mug of hot chocolate! My daughter is delighted and says she’s going to eat the gluten-free mince pies she bought for me! So you can see that it’s all systems go. Thank you again.
April 2010
Since doing the course my whole outlook on life has changed to one of positive thinking, surmounting difficulties and grasping new opportunities. Various things have occurred that would have depressed or flattened me before but I have been able to put things into perspective, find the positive and carry on. I am studying a textile course that is higher technically than City and Guilds and had a bit of a knock back, but have re-found my ‘mojo’ and am raring to go again. I am walking longer than I have been able in years and go geocaching at the weekends. I bike ride, garden and eat everything I fancy. Wonderful!
Jean, Tyne and Wear
My main motivation for doing the Lightning Process was to overcome a problem with food intolerance, namely gluten. Since completing the course I have been able to tolerate gluten containing foods again without any pain, and I eat at least one item every day. I plan to increase the amount of gluten gradually. When eating out I no longer even enquire about the gluten-free dishes on the menu, but instead enjoy choosing whatever I fancy.
A wonderful bonus from applying the Lightning Process has been the positive effects in other areas of my life. Although incidental, I became aware during the course that I still had bereavement issues following the death of my beloved husband two years ago. I felt “stuck”, despite keeping busy and having great support from friends and family. While outwardly cheerful, inside my emotions were anesthetised. Now I feel that the “real” me has returned; I am full of energy and am optimistic about the future, determined to enjoy my years of retirement.
Thank you, Julia, for teaching me such a powerful tool to use whenever the need arises.
AR, Scotland
I’m a natural introvert, and proud of it. However, that doesn’t help me when I, quite often, feel socially awkward and inhibited. Occasionally I make the sort of faux pas where I just fail to recognise someone I’ve met before, or don’t know how to join a conversation that is going on around me.
I signed up to do the Lightning Process because I was determined to break through my bubble of social inhibition, and to have a tool for handling the negative thoughts that would start circulating through my mind.
I find I can now focus better on what is happening in a group, and, if I want to leave it, I can more readily and graciously excuse myself and do my own thing. I do not use LP often, but I know I can bring it out when I need to.
I will always be an introvert – I don’t want to be anything else. These changes enable me to engage more directly and effectively with people, and as a result I can enjoy social life more.
Bridget, Perth
I suffered from M .E, for 18 years, my best friend was my bed. I was spending most of my time resting, trying to build up energy. I anticipated this was how I would spend the rest of my life. I had tried various treatments, reverse therapy, hypnotherapy, I travelled to South Africa to a clinic that claimed to cure M.E but all was in vain.
I came across the lightning process on the internet and decided to give it a try. At that time I had been really ill for two years and was really desperate to regain my health. I was very dubious about the lighting process as I had been disappointed so many times.
I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I know it is very difficult to comprehend that a three day training session can completely change your life. It certainly has changed mine.
I am now leading a completely normal life, walking two miles daily, gardening, shopping and meeting friends. I no longer require a lady to do my cleaning. In the past it was an enormous task to walk around Tesco. I feel extremely well I have not had any M.E. symptoms since my training. I have made an amazing recovery and I thank Julia profusely, she is an excellent trainer, a kind and caring lady. I would thoroughly recommend the lighting process to anyone
suffering from M.E.
Sue, Cornwall
Just to say thank you so much for the 3 day course, it has really turned my life around.
I have had aches and pains in various parts of my body for as long as I can remember. I think it all probably started from having Glandular fever when I was sixteen. I have over the years tried all sorts
of remedies, homeopathy, pills, doctors and specialists. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and given advice and a leaflet on how to ‘cope’ with it. Most of the information stated there was no cure and most people learnt to live with it.I no longer live with it, it is not a part of my life anymore. The course opened up my eyes and mind to what was possible if only I could change my beliefs and follow the process. During the course itself I experienced none of the usual fybromyalgia pains, it was impossible for me to sit still for more than half an hour, yet the morning courses were 3 to 4 hours long. On the first day I went for a walk for 1 hour whereas before I would have had enough after half an hour at the most.
I have also used the process in other areas of my life, with really good results.
Thank you for being an excellent trainer and a fantastic person, I am now off to Australia for 3 months in the confidence that using the LP if I need to, I will have a really fantastic time. I will let you know how I got on when I return.
Vicki, Cornwall
I don’t know where to start with my thanks to you for giving me the life I love.
After 20 years of very varied health, never reaching any heights, it is wonderful to enjoy all the simple things like walking the dog, playing with the grandchildren as well as revive my future travel plans.
You ran the course so well, with such enthusiasm and obvious interest in each one of us. Your sole aim was to give our group the lives we love. Your kind and gentle, yet insistent, voice flowed into each one of us giving us the changes we each needed to make.
Life is wonderful. I am bursting with energy and enthusiasm ready to embrace everything. Friends and family have commented on how much better and how happy I now look. All thanks to you and the way you ran the course.
Mere thanks are inadequate, but they are from the bottom of my now enormous heart.
Liz, Perth
How the lightning process helped me.
I became ill towards the end of my second pregnancy, with a condition know as Pelvic Girdle Pain (in April 2008). Basically my pelvic joints became unstable, leading to acute pain and I needed crutches to walk a short distance and a wheelchair for anything further. It was a big shock for all of us, and I was unable to look after our two year old daughter on my own. Our families rallied round to help. I was very lucky that my condition was taken very seriously by the midwives and GP, and I had a lot of support. A charity called the Pelvic partnership were fantastic in giving me information and contacts. I visited a physio while pregnant and afterwards for manipulation to ease my pain etc. The hospital where I gave birth looked after us really well and I was bale to have a natural birth, thankfully the labour was quick!
When we came home, I still needed a lot of help and our families did shifts helping me look after the children. By about six weeks after I was able to drive and look after the children on my own. As I recovered physically I became depressed and was able to visit a counsellor regularly to talk about my issues. I was determined to get well and by the autumn I was back at work, talking the children and dog out for walks etc. going to rehab physio, attending aquafit etc.
As my little boy became heavier and I pushed myself to get well, I had a major setback, and by the February I was virtually unable to walk again, and very low on confidence. I was on painkillers constantly including codeine. I went back to see my physio, but felt I needed to try something else, So I then visited a chiropractor. She was great and was brilliant with practical suggestions, like a support belt and car seat that was easier to get the baby into. This moved me to a stage where I was a lot more comfortable, but still finding things difficult. I then visited an osteopath, and once more saw an improvement.
The effect of all this on my confidence and our family life was huge. A friend at work told me about the lightning process, her daughter had been suffering with chronic fatigue syndrome for many years and has seen a great improvement with the training. I looked on the website and ordered the book. I was concerned about the cost of the course, but once I read the book I thought, I have nothing to lose and its time to change my life. I contacted Julia and we agreed I was ready for the training. That gave me six weeks to prepare and my outlook was immediately more positive. I had some concerns as I hadn’t seen many case studies on people with chronic pain that had become well. I knew that once of my main issues was anxiety and that this was keeping me stuck. I was lucky to have great support form my husband to do the training.
The results have been amazing. I am writing this less than two weeks after the course, I was taking ibuprofen and paracetamol every day, sometimes to the maximum amount, now I take virtually none. I now have no concerns if I leave the house without them, I know I can do the lightning process instead. My stick and support belt were gone by the end of the course. I have walked over a mile without a stick, I can look after my 18 month old son on my own for a whole day, and enjoy it! I feel really relaxed and calm. In effect I am a new person. I live in the present now, I have noticed that colours are brighter and everything tastes better. Having followed a wheat free diet for 8 years I am now eating what I like! The list goes on.
I realise that before I did the lightning process I was constantly in pain, fearful of the consequences of things I might do and trapped in a cycle of fear and painkillers. The lightning process has allowed me to be free to be all the person I can be, and I am so glad I did it. Give it everything, put aside any doubts and change your life!

I am doing great, this month I have walked six miles, started going swimming every week, and I am living the life I love. This spring and summer has been fantastic as I get out and about with my family and enjoy the outdoors. After a couple of very challenging years I feel as though I have got me back!

Three years ago I lost complete control of my life due to chronic fatigue/m.e. it took the medical profession a year to diagnose this due to the hotchpotch cauldron of symptoms I was experiencing. The worst being constant pain, fatigue and cognitive impairment so severe I actually was convinced I was becoming senile.
Prior to this I had been a positive, outgoing person with boundless energy. I had been a nurse for 32 years and loved my job and became heartbroken when my NHS employers had to let me go due to my poor health.
Over the next 2 years I continued to pursue many forms of alternative treatments and was very proactive in fighting the challenges that cfs/m.e. brought into my life. Always thinking this or that approach would work and sometimes they did but only temporary and respite would be short lived. Long term momentum was evading me and my family were watching from the sidelines wondering when I would emerge totally whole again.
Then I heard about Julia MacDonald and the lightening process and the wonderful results that were being achieved by people like myself and others who had found themselves in a similar dark place.
After 3 days attending the lp course I am a new person and I do not want to re-visit or even ponder and reflect on the last 3 years…
Why? Because I no longer have any issues with cfs/m.e….it is no longer part of my life.
Doing the course has enabled me to regain control of my life. I am fully alive again and it makes my heart sing. I am truly grateful to Julia and so are my family and friends. I now look forward to every day and the joys that are waiting for me.
I recommend this course to anyone who has issues with any part of their life, the solution is in lp. And in wonderful facilitators like Julia who will guide you to find a life that you love!
