- Simple steps that reduce symptoms, limit stressors and give you energy
- Reducing or eliminating stressors leaving more energy for the things you want and need to do

NICE TO MEET YOU
We are Katie and Andrea
We want to share our story with you. Katie (pictured right) knows firsthand how frustrating and isolating it can be to struggle with Long COVID symptoms. She has been there, feeling lost and worried, hearing from doctors that all her tests are coming back “normal”, but knowing she was unwell and facing near and long-term implications on her health.
For too long, Katie looked to recover using tools that served her well before Long COVID. These didn’t help and instead she was stuck, experiencing frequent crashes and limited improvement in symptoms and resilience.Â
Finally she was able to create space and drew on her professional experience to work out what may help. She had spent over 10 years working as an economist in the health sector, using data and evidence to support care improvement for people with complex conditions She started diving into research papers, which highlighted both the near and long-term health risks of doing nothing and that they were larger than she initially thought. Evidence also showed that it was possible to take action to feel better. She knew she had to come out of this cycle and get on a recovery path.
We are passionate about sharing what we’ve learned with you. Katie knows how it feels to find sympathy, but limited support from doctors, and feel like no one understands what you’re going through because you look fine.
Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to achieve better symptom management and pacing is one essential tool.
Katie was where you are and knows how hard it can be. But we are here to tell you that it is possible to feel better and live your life more fully again. If you are ready to take control of what you can control, this program is for you. It helps you understand essential steps, and what you’ll learn will serve you at all stages of your recovery journey, even when you feel your old self again.
Andrea (on the left) is a personal trainer. She was also a competitive athlete and had to find appropriate ways to understand how to help her body perform at its best, including prioritizing things that give the body energy. She helped Katie to consolidate her improvements and continue to feel better. Together we want to share evidence-based insight and support you to accelerate your recovery journey.
Warmly,
Katie and Andrea
What Research Offers
Covid-19 is a relatively new virus. The scientific and medical community are continuing to learn how it interacts with the body and what causes complications people face. We will understand more about Covid-19 as time goes on, just like other health issues such as heart disease and cancer. With cancer and other conditions, solutions have been developed and honed over time. However, where knowledge exists, we haven’t waited to treat people, and to make a difference. Like with other conditions, we need to use the information we have today to support those with Long COVID and other post-viral conditions - that process will help people in the near term and build understanding over time.
