RATING: 5/5

Wow, what a life changing course. I've learnt so much and implemented so many changes which have significantly improved the quality of my life.
 
I have a greater understanding and I am able to plan my days/week better to reduce the fatigue. I love how each week builds on from the next and we have a chance to discuss our ideas/wins/struggles as a group and make changes.

What's included

A Toolkit of Practical Resources

Within each module, you will find Strategies, Tips, and Tools for you to explore and tailor specifically to your needs and requirements.

​

This course is packed with guides, charts, tables, planners, and infographics for your to explore and discover.

​

The resources help you to build a personalised toolkit that not only works towards managing the physical aspect of fatigue, they also help you with sensory and environmental overwhelm, and your mindset towards pacing with FND.

Six Modules to Discover

The course takes you through different pathways to pacing designed for people with FND, by someone with FND.

 

It covers different types of fatigue, how that relates to FND, alongside practical strategies, tips and tools to help you find a baseline and help you to build your own personalised pacing plan.

​

We explore different strategies and choices for coping with social situations and knowing when to be flexible and ways to recover quicker after a flare up.

Different Formats

Each module contains a workbook for you to work through at your own pace that accompanies you on your journey of finding the right pacing pathway for you.

 

The printed materials are in pastel colours for visual sensitivity as well as black and white to keep costs down for those who wish to print.

 

There are audio and video resources to help with different types of learning, symptom management and sensitivities. 

Group Support Sessions

Pacing with FND is an art. It can be challenging and we need to be supported by people who understand and have compassion for this condition.

 

We also need to be surrounded by people who accept our unique presentation of symptoms, without judgement, so that we can explore and tailor to our unique circumstances.
