Kirsty Bortoft's Testimonial
CAROL, 56, Scarborough, UK
Almost all of my life I had known chronic, debilitating pain, fatigue, and digestive issues and had used every medication, alternative therapy, therapeutic activity, diet and food supplement that I had researched and could access. Whilst some of these approaches were beneficial, they just helped with symptoms and I got by.... just, (though not always, there were many times that I struggled to cope). Five years ago, I struggled to walk as far as the end of my road, I needed to use crutches and considered getting a mobility scooter.
I was always on a constant mission to make things easier for myself so that I could maintain my work and family responsibilities. Sometimes that was too much of a struggle and I succumbed to enforced rest. I completely changed my life and lifestyle, always chasing a cure, always striving towards a pain-free life.
I had begun to accept that living with pain and virtually housebound was my lot and I had just got to make the best of it. I had developed a positive attitude and always made sure I did something I enjoyed every day, even if that was just looking at the view out of my window or looking at pretty images on Pinterest.
I was sceptical when I first heard about Kirsty, after all, I thought I had tried everything. I had seen her promotional material and dismissed it, thinking a cure for this was impossible. Then a friend introduced me to her and told me that she had been cured of fibromyalgia. Cured.
So, I met with her over coffee for an initial consultation to see if she could work with me. After that first meeting, I felt hope, and I thought, ‘what do I have to lose?’ Pain... that’s what... and with that trust, I started to learn the Freedom Alignment Method (F.A.M).
It was tough, I had to dive deep into my internal world and root out the causes of the illness. I experienced more intense pain as a part of the process but noticed how I was changing and how, bit by bit, I was clearing all the complex emotional charge that had fed the disease. Kirsty supported me all the way with insight and expertise. I felt held, understood, and reassured that I could get better.
Today, almost 18 months on, I am living a pain-free life. I’m so grateful to enjoy my health. I’m able to live my life without the restrictions that fibromyalgia brings and I’m enjoying life and thriving. I can make plans and get out and about, I am rebuilding a healthy social life and my work life is benefiting too. I have more time and energy to devote to my business. It’s a new and exciting chapter because now I believe that so much more is possible for me. Kirsty Bortoft transforms lives – fact.
