I came to see Amir back in 2008 when I was 15 years old. I'm 18 now and still using what I learned to stay balanced.

Before I did the training with Amir I had been struggling with ME/CFS for 3 years. It was triggered by shingles followed by gladular fever.

I had many symptoms such as tiredness, anxiety, muscular pain, depression, paranoia and problems sleeping.

I felt trapped more than anything, like no one understood me and that everybody was against me - Doctors told me I was making my symptoms up!

It was exciting to attend the course with Amir, to think I could get my life back. It was also comforting because I didn't feel so alone - everybody there had been or was in the same situation as me.

I made so much progress in a matter of days! By the last day of the course I was a much more positive person and by the time I returned home I had most of my symptoms under control.

The main benefit of the course for me was learning the process to stop pain and negative thoughts, something I still use today in everyday things. Also just being with other people who I could relate to and that understand me was a big help.

I can't explain how I feel about the help Amir gave me, all I can say is he has changed my life for the better - I can live my life to the full now with no limits! It really has changed my life in so many ways.

I'm actually going to be training as a mountain leader soon, something I never thought I would do. I can't thank him enough for helping me.

I would 100% recommend Amir to others suffering with the same condition, in fact I have recommended Amir to a few people already.
