In October 2019 I started to feel not myself: lack of energy, motivation and creativity. Three key important factors of life for a twenty one year old girl. I blamed work, which at the time was a sourdough bakery in Dublin city centre. I felt maybe it was due to early mornings or a series of night shifts I had done previous. I remember coming home to Tipperary one weekend, after not being home in quite some time. That weekend I gave crying to my family, not knowing how to explain what was going on inside my head.
I went to my local doctor two days later to get my bloods taken. Patiently waiting for results to return, wishing it would show up something. In my desperate mind, when the results came back, the receptionist ever so kindly told me I was healthy and nothing was found. Once we finished our call, I shed some tears to mum, in need of an answer.
Three weeks had passed, in which I took sick leave from work. During this period I was sleeping up to 16 hours a day and still exhausted, my head constantly ached and energy was super low. That weekend before I was due to return to work, I deteriorated rapidly and my mental health got much worse. I remember distinctly my family sitting me down and I pleading for help. I put a strategy in place of a certain exercise plan, no social media, alcohol or coffee and clean eating. I stuck to this relentlessly but honestly I began to see myself only getting worse. This was so difficult to watch as I felt I was doing all the right things to help myself.
Returning to the doctor yet again, I was faced with antidepressants being the only answer from my doctor. I knew this decline in my health was going to be a long journey, I was not taking shortcuts and antidepressants were a shortcut in my mind. I was head set on natural solutions. As the weeks went on I was not seeing a change. I was beginning to show extremely poor mental leath. Not showering, eating sleeping and not leaving the home, I began counciling and dealt with issues from the past and present. I found the counciling powerful, yet after sometime I was still aware, there was something much more powerful out there for me.
Christmas came and went and I was like a zombie. Not socialising because I found it too difficult. I found this time very hard as I was extremely interested in entertaining family and friends for years. A huge part that got me through Christmas was being open about my mental health. I gained a lot of genuine support and knowledge from friends and family to get me through it.
Christmas night I took to internet researching a natural solution to curing my mental health issues. After quite sometime I came across Michael O Doherty and his clinic. I made contact to make an appointment. Patiently waiting for my appointment, I received a cancellation and was taken three weeks later. Going into Michael’s clinic I didn’t know what to expect.
With an extremely gentle and incredibly motivating manner Michael made my first day powerful. Each day had its own significance, in which I really enjoyed. I felt after day two it really began to work. Michael on day two, worked a lot around my gut/abdominal area. I was extremely drained and slept all that evening into the night. With the guidance of a very intelligent lady, day three was fun and I gained a lot of knowledge on nutrition and the diet plan that I had to go by. This was very interesting and I gained a great understanding for the supplements and foods I had to get into. Being a foodie this excited me and I was ready to take on the challenge and make it a lifestyle change. As I woke for my fourth and final day, I shed some tears knowing this was my final day after such an incredible few days. The last day Michael again worked on my energy system and breathing techniques. A giant smile appeared when we were just finished the session. That smile had a bundle of meanings: gratitude, hope, healing, excitement, happiness the list is endless.
Three months on I sit back and reflect on the week spent with Michael in his clinic and the healing process. I find it hard to put into words what Michael has done for me. He has given me a new life in which I am totally owning it. A life where I am living every second of life and I am extremely happy with the smallest things in life. Savouring and being grateful for the simple things in life is what I believe in. From Michael’s guidance I surround myself with positive people, never look back at the past and I am always a creater of my future. These three things are crucial yet so effective. Following on Michael kept in touch with my journey which truely motivated me. This bio energy experience was absolutely the most unique experience, something I will forever treasure and I will always be grateful for the life’s lessons I gained from Michael and the team.
Michael thank you for your intelligence, kindness and incredible positivity to give me my unbelievable life back!
