Alishia shares her powerful Long Covid recovery journey—from a highly active farm worker to being couch-bound for over a year, and ultimately back to health through finding safety in her body. • Worked long weeks in manual farm labour & enjoyed being active before catching Covid in 2020 • Experienced extreme anxiety, heart palpitations, shortness of breath after first infection • Second COVID infection in 2021 led to complete debilitation with 15+ symptoms • Functional medicine doctors provided multiple diagnoses & supplement protocols without improvement • Discovered mind-body work through Dan Buglio and Dr. Sarno • Somatic tracking meditation, self-Reiki, creating feelings of safety helped • Learned to set boundaries, let go of perfectionism, & practice self-compassion • Gradually reintroduced short walks & yoga sessions, surrounding them with joy • Session with coach Rob Ensor helped eliminate remaining symptoms • Now works as a mind-body coach & works part-time in farming • Maintains balance between activity & rest, continuing to practice boundaries & self-care If you're struggling with Long Covid or ME/CFS, remember that wherever you are in this moment, you are completely lovable right now—your worth isn't tied to your productivity or ability to function.
