I had a wonderful life - a great family, good friends, and a successful career.  Then one day everything changed. Gone was my boundless energy and enthusiasm for life and instead I was exhausted, weak, dizzy, and sensitive to everything. I eventually lost my job, many of my friends, and the impact on my family made life difficult for all of us.

 

After visiting numerous doctors I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, but soon discovered that a diagnosis is meaningless when it comes to misunderstood illnesses like CFS. Traditional medicine offers little or no treatment for these "mystery" illnesses, including Epstein Barr Virus, Adrenal Fatigue, and other auto-immune conditions. 

 

When traditional medicine failed to help me improve I tried many alternative treatments and therapies. But for the most part I continued to get worse and developed severe sensitivities to just about everything, including foods, fragrances, chemicals and Wifi/EMF radiation. 

​

My journey has involved a lot of research, and above all perseverance. I tried to learn as much as possible from both traditional and alternative doctors and practitioners, and sometimes feel as though I've "tried it all." Along the way I discovered a lot about healing and created Heal With Hope to share all that has worked for me.

 

The most important lesson I have learned is to listen to your inner guide - what worked for me may not be right for you. But I hope what your will find on this site are new ideas and a bit of inspiration to help guide your journey. 

 

And one last thing...I know it's tough sometimes, but hang in there. Just when you think you are out of options and have no where to turn is exactly when you are guided to new ideas and possibilities. Keep your mind hope and your heart full of hope...and everything is possible - Andrea C
