My Personal Story &
How HBOT Helped Save My Life
I had a brilliant 40-year career in the health and wellness industry, helping people with fitness, weight management, lifestyle adjustments, corporate health, and stress management, but that did not prepare me for the shocking decline of my own body and mental function I was starting to experience.
​
In 2005 after a period of prolonged stress and a series of post travel illnesses, I started to have an unusual number of medical issues. For someone in the health and fitness industry who ran complex businesses with multiple staff, leading fitness classes and running 5-10 kms daily, I was completely perplexed. Why was my previously strong, healthy body suddenly not coping with even the most basic tasks of life?
​
I spent the next ten years dedicated to finding out what these puzzling medical issues were….I just wanted to get my health and my quality of life back. I experimented with every traditional and alternative therapy I could find, I read and researched everything, and finally in 2018 I received a diagnosis by an Integrative Medical Doctor. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and I had what they call a number of co-infections. At that point in time, I thought “Great, now I know what it is, I can get the treatment needed”. However, that was just the beginning of my journey…
Lyme Disease Is Not Recognised In Australia
I found, to my frustration, that the medical profession in Australia (as well as many other countries) didn’t or wouldn’t recognise Lyme Disease, and that started me on another journey, seeing dozens of doctors and specialists and desperately trying to piece together my own treatment plan to get well. I had multiple Emergency room visits and surgeries and I wasn’t getting any better.
With the constant fatigue of Lyme disease and just trying to keep my head above water, it became so exhausting and expensive. I tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Australia, but at $450 a session it was far too expensive to maintain, particularly when I had a protocol that required 40 to 60 treatments. I realised I had to re-evaluate my approach, or I would continue to worsen, things were looking pretty bleak. And that’s when I began looking overseas at specialist clinics. I found there were many clinics around the world with vastly varied treatments, all proclaiming cures for my condition.
I eventually chose a clinic in Cyprus that offered affordable HBOT treatments and after my first six week protocol in 2018, utilising intense Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy medicine, ozone therapies and specific IV treatments I made some significant gains. Finally, a break through! This was followed by a year of continued research into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and trying different healing protocols and a return to the clinic in Cyprus for another six-week of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in 2019 and ended up running the Hyperbaric Facility as the CEO.
I learnt Hyperbaric Medicine is a much underutilised Natural Therapy that can help a large array of medical conditions and has amazing Anti-Aging benefits.
Along my journey I met and spoke to many people from around the world who had the same frustrations and issues with finding their way through Chronic Illness, and I began to work as a wellness ambassador liaising with clinics, integrative doctors and therapists to try and help sufferers find the best solution for their personal journey.
Throughout my recovery, not one doctor had provided me with the solution to my illness. They may have helped with small pieces of the jigsaw, but it has been my own relentless desire and belief that I could overcome this illness that has ultimately led to my recovery.
​
Five years on and I have worked with and been treated at many clinics around the world and now I am using what I have learned to help others navigate their recovery journey in a streamlined, efficient and wisest way possible. And part of that journey is to bring mHBOT to as many people as possible.
