"The pacing section of this program is game changing & what MASSIVELY differentiates this course from the others. All of the tools have been unbelievably helpful & have allowed me to develop a certain level of awareness surrounding how I approach my recovery.

Before, I was doing all of the right things, but I wasn’t engaging in them the way I needed to in order to start recovering optimally. I’m now a lot more stable because of my ability to pace to expand. My biggest take away from this program, is how I engage in my recovery versus solely focusing on what I do.” 

Teri Entz

"Before this course I was couch bound and rarely went out unless I had a decent day. After it I was about 30% stronger and am still moving forward. Before this course emotionally I was a basket case of fluctuating emotions.
After this course I was 80% better.

Before this course spiritually I considered myself to be spiritual, but the physical and emotional issues clouded that a lot. After this course I was more in tune with my spiritual side. I learned to go at my own pace, which has let me move forward towards healing instead of being stuck in a loop of a boom/bust cycle.”  

Cassidy Brown

I have made more concrete progress with this course than at any other time in my 4 years with this illness. Anj helped me see the blind spots that have been holding me back from recovery & chart a path forward. The best part of the program is that it combines all the different angles of recovery. Rather than exclusively focusing on brain re-training or lifestyle changes or toxins, we learned about all of them - & not just the basics, but the actual science behind everything. The depth of knowledge & research really gave me confidence in Anj’s approach.

I feel more hopeful about recovery than I have in a very long time! I am recommending this program to everyone I know with ME/CFS!

Joanna C. 

"I enjoyed The Edison Effect and all the knowledge that came with it. The brain retraining week was the best part for me, and the part I am still using that has made the most difference on my recovery journey. But I found the whole course so informative! Anj was a wealth of knowledge and a ray of light throughout.”

Mark Popts

 "This course by far has had the most practical & useful information about why I am ill and how I can take steps to get better. I had a number of ‘aha’ moments. The sheer quantity and quality of information presented was superb." "

Sarah Dietsche 

"Anj was like an angel that saved me & made me believe in recovery again. She just found the right words & explanations that resonated with me. She taught me that this illness can be a your greatest teacher if you let it. I am doing much better, physically, emotionally  spiritually. She explained to me how the illness works & how regulating the nervous system has an impact on the immune system, & inflammation in the body. Once you know the genesis of the illness, it helps you believing in recovery, whether you are spiritual or not.” 

Toni Weschler

"This course is an amazing resource for anyone struggling with ME/CFS. It offers a vast array of information, and useful tools/skills, as well as the incredible wisdom and support from Anj to help you find your way to a better place in your life, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I was really struggling before the course and was at quite a low point in all those areas. I'd really resigned myself to being sick with CFS indefinitely and having a really limited life. I'm in so much of a better place now. This course offered me a sense of hope that one can actually recover from CFS and a road map for how to get there. It was a game-changer for me!"

Petra Hunns 

"I have to say that in the 15 year journey of ME/CFS, this course has been the best thing I’ve ever done! And as you can imagine over that time I’ve tried many many things, but nothing has made an impact like this!

Anj has a deep passion in wanting to help show us the way out.. bringing us from darkness into love & light… & is a great speaker, teacher & mentor.
I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart that the universe connected us together. For sharing her journey & our journey.

I now have tools for life & life beyond CFS/ME. The benefits will keep on coming. My wobbles are already not lasting as long. I have a shiny new box of tools & I am determined to keep using them!"

Antony Snodgrass

 "At the start of my journey I was so scared and looked to everyone & anything to help me and fix me. Which caused me to become more & more unwell and dysregulated. But with time I have learnt that while I can accept help,  only I can heal myself.

Just as Anj taught me about recovery; I see it happening in myself. It now takes much more to bring on a severe "wobble." Nine months ago I watched a movie with my kids & it made me crash so hard. Six months ago it was going out to watch my son play football that brought it on; a huge expansion. My last wobble resulted after a long period of going out out walking ever day with my dog, attending social events, cooking and cleaning, doing the food shop weekly. I know I will recover fully eventually.  I still find so much inspiration from Anj's teachings."

Karine

"This program is truly incredible. I am eternally grateful for it. I feel more optimistic, motivated and equipped for recovery. I have a better understanding of what I need to do to recover, more belief in my body’s capacity to recover, more awareness and understanding of my nervous system’s dysfunction, and more tools for tending to it.” 

Jenny Brim

 "I learned a lot with this program. Everything described seemed logical to me. I was couch-bound for 23.5 hours. I couldn't receive visitors. After 6 weeks I could go for a walk every 3 days and I could invite friends over! Once I was able to take 6000 steps and then talk to friends for 4 hours. In this course you will not feel alone. For the first time, I have hope!"

Ingunn Hellesmark

“I loved this course!! So much to learn, and Anj explains everything so well in all the videos. The set up of the program was also great. Also the homework was very helpful. I spent a lot of time with the homework in the start, and learned a lot about myself and my recovery from this.” Thank you Anj!”

Susan Cruickshank

“Anj has an easy and welcoming style of communication that invites us in and puts us at ease immediately. Despite the effectiveness of her engaging presentation that is peppered with personal antidotes, the real gift is that her presence plays only a secondary role to the substance of the course material itself. She gives us MEAT, not just fluffy dessert! The science is there, but she explains it in terms that feel relevant to day-to-day life and she breaks it down so we can incorporate it immediately.

I love that her compassion is coupled with TRUTH. Discipline, effort, and 'buy-in' are required for recovery. No magic bullet here. Hurrah! Something real! I have crawled my way back from complete incapacitation and have carved out a little life. What else can I say? Anj is a gift. She has turned her pain into her life's work. We are all blessed that she pushed through and then turned back to bring us with her. I have been given the gift of joy. I am grateful.” 

Brenda Wilkonson

Since the program ended, I've been expanding on what I've learned. .  

I think it’s great that this programs covers everything; even things like mold and MTHFR and methylation. I expect most who participate will recognize different aspects of the program that apply to them more as individuals, but there is something for everyone at any stage of recovery. 

The most positive thing about this course, is being able to learn how to apply all these things together. I’m sure many of us have tried this or that without improvement, but combining them, as you said, makes a difference. 

Anyway, I’ve been kicking butt lately in my recovery, and feel like it was money well spent.  I honestly can’t believe what I’ve been able to do! I almost feel like a normal person. Thank you, Anj! 

Annya Borissova

"Since I have CFS, I have done several recovery programs, and even been meditating for 5 years. When initially I saw the content, it seemed very familiar to me. But I chose to do the program anyway, and I did not regret it!

I must admit that I did learn quite a lot to my own surprise. I feel this program became pivotal to my recovery.

I still have quite a bit of journey to do, but I never felt so confident, reassured and hopeful, knowing that I’m gonna get to the other side for sure, it’s just a question of time.

If you are looking at the possibility of joining but in doubt, please do yourself a favor and take the leap." 

Shir Y

Anj's sharing of her personal experiences with the illness really eased my feelings of loneliness and isolation; this nagging feeling that nobody around you understands what you're really dealing with and going through. I resonated with a lot of it. Thank you! 

Patty Taylor

"I think that the sheer quantity and quality of information presented was superb." 

Terri Wheeler 

"This course has taught me the basics as well as diving into what affects the body with ME/CfS (in an easy to understand way).

Being able to go at your own pace is ideal, which has let me move forward towards healing instead of being stuck in a loop of a boom/bust cycle." 

Darleen. C 

Anj's course, "The Edison Effect", was the most comprehensive approach to ME/CFS recovery that I have experienced to date.

Emphasizing the awareness of the body's signals and implementing a graduated pacing strategy along with comprehensive brain retraining was the key to my recovery.

I will be forever grateful to Anj for the tools I learned in this course which help me to navigate life each and every day. Thank you, Anj!" 

Ariane L 

"I feel so much more hopeful now than I was 8 weeks ago, and even though I still have a long way to go to heal, I feel confident that I will. The program is super comprehensive and there is more content than I thought possible. I have already started changing several things and I feel like have a whole cabinet of tools to choose from when I'm ready to add a new habit. I really love how Anj teaches and I felt like she was a good friend talking to me. She is very inspiring and I'm so glad I chose"The Edison Effect."

Karin P

"I’m very happy that l followed my gut feeling and decided to join the program. The layout of the program with the mixture of science, spirituality, Anj's personal experience and the holistic approach resonates very well with me and my personality. I also like the way the videos are presented in a personal and informal way,  like listening to a friend."

Dounia 

"I was in a deep state of despair, of thinking this is it it’s forever, my body is broken. Through the course, I understood that it’s not broken it has lost it’s balance and I can find it back. I knew a lot of the tools because of my profession but didn’t trust my intuition on how to work with them and over complicated things. With the course, I could focus on implenting one thing at at time instead of trying to do everything. I now believe recovery will happen for me and it’s a matter of time. I have changed in my understanding of my value that being is enough and that I don’t want to betray my body ever again.

I encourage everyone to sign up for this program so you don’t feel alone in this journey, it helped with feeling hopeful again and grateful. It connected me with wonderful people and provided me a space to have (it can seem surprising) but a more positive and intimate relationship with this illness. It allowed to foster deeper confidence in my ability to take care of myself and make good decisions."

Amanda 

"Before this course, I was emotionally and mentally feeling really hopeless and stuck. I’ve seen recovery stories and knew people recovered, but didn’t know how to apply it to me. I was vaguely familiar with the science behind MECFS, but after your program it all came together for me. I was able to see my body’s warning signs years before i officially got sick. I felt stable before but was having trouble expanding and now i FINALLY understand the expansion and contraction cycles. It's really is like a dance! Spiritually, Anj's praise about meditation has led me to dig deeper in my faith (i’m a christian), which in turn is supporting my recovery since it’s a whole mind, body transformation happening.

Since the program ended, I feel seen and like i finally am making some progress in my recovery. I think a big part of it is knowing I still have access to Anj, who is not only a wealth of knowledge but also leads with empathy and respect in everything. The gratitude and warmth radiates off of her, and I think that’s so essential to my recovery journey. She is the perfect model of health and mind-body connection is not just for recovery, but forever!"

Ben

“Anj's course has been the missing piece I feel regarding my 11 year journey with me/CFS. Shes addressed so many things that I feel are just crucial to understand if you navigate this condition. Pacing, grading and establishing a baseline, expanding slowly and methodically, retraining the brain and my habitual negative responses to symptoms and crashes (wobbles) has all been so helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who desires to heal.” 

Claire 

"I found all of the course to be invaluable but week 7 and 8 were out of this world. I learned so much about myself. I still have a tonne of things to work on, but now, I KNOW HOW TO RECOVER!!!!"

Jessie

"Prior to doing Anj's program I had spent thousands on Brain Retraining and Nervous System Reset Programs, along with working with functional neurologist and specialists. I hesitated joining Anj's program because of my lack of progress with the previous experiences but something kept pulling me towards her. I'm so glad I listened to my gut. Anj has constructed not only an incredibly easy program to follow but one that makes it easy to understand what's happening with your body and mind and delivers a powerful and doable approach to recovery. It was the first time I was seeing real change and improvement."

Amy

"I was an anxious mess fuled by fear, on anti anxiety meds and hanging on by a thread before this program. I was in my first (hopefully only) big crash since getting this disease. I was at 1300 steps a day. NOW, I am at 4200 steps a day. Anxiety is gone, i'm off my meds, and have a full hope that I will recover. I still get fearful but now i have the tools!" 

Teresa M. 

"This is a great program! It's reasonably priced, and has a lot packed in during the 8 weeks. I've now got the tools to go forward with my recovery. My extensive research before committing to a program paid off with Anj;  she is very approachable, personable, down to earth and says it as it is. Highly recommended!"

Teresa MD 

"This course is invaluable in its ability to dissect the whys of MECFS and the tools to help you recover. There could be no better teacher than Anj. She has been thru it all and her knowledge is outstanding. She walks you thru the process with easy to understand lessons. I am better physically, as I am learning how to expand and contract. Emotionally I am in a much better place knowing there is a light at the end of what use to be a very dark tunnel. Listening to other cohorts in our group and learning from our group in invaluable."

Cynthia 

"This is the first course that I've come across that covers the range of topics needed to help in recovery, and for me these were all the topics relevant for my own health recovery. I loved Anj's delivery of subject material - she explains things beautifully (with a sense of humor), but in a in a way that is totally genuine and relatable. I felt like she just 'got it' from the benefit of her experience. I loved all the analogies (I use them when I'm trying to explain my condition to others). I loved the way she integrated the meditation (without mantra) with the grounding techniques. This really worked for me, where other forms of meditation have not in the past.

For me, the expanding of my baseline week was truly awesome, and this is where I feel like Anj has cornered the gap in the market. Honestly, nobody gives advice on how to do this and I thought that the info provided in this week was incredibly helpful. I have changed my approach to expansion as a result and I think it's now working more effectively. All in all, this course has been super helpful and I would definitely recommend it to others."

Hanneke 

"The course exceeded my expectations. Anj has the incredible ability to capture all states of MECFS and thus gives incredible good tools along the way. During the 8 week cohort, I went from bedbound to housebound!"

Sophie

"I'm writing this one month after end of program to share my progress across all planes. Physically: I was moving from moderate to mild. Now: I would say i arrived into mild. I have more capacity. Emotionally: I was already quite aware of my emotions but I feel more stable now, more hopeful and optimistic I would say. Spiritually: I already sensed a bit of the spiritual aspect of the illness before but I loved all of Anj's ideas, I feel more connected to life.

It was truly great, I feel honored to having had the opportunity to be part of such a small VIP Holiday cohort. I wish the program would have existed sooner for me. I think it is perfect for anyone, wherever on their recovery journey. Thanks to Anj for being so inspiring and truly caring."
