ME/CFS 

ME/CFS — Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — isn't ordinary tiredness. It's a condition where the body's capacity to generate and recover energy is profoundly disrupted, and where pushing past limits often leads to crashes that can set things back significantly. Post-exertional malaise, or PEM, is one of the hallmarks: doing too much doesn't just make you tired — it can trigger a cascade of symptoms that takes days or weeks to recover from.

Nervous system dysregulation is a significant part of the ME/CFS picture for many people. The autonomic nervous system — the part that regulates energy, recovery, sleep, heart rate, and stress response — often isn't functioning the way it should. That dysregulation contributes to the symptoms, and it's also a target for careful, gradual work.

This might include HRV biofeedback to support autonomic regulation, breathwork done in a very light and manageable way, education to help understand what the system is doing and why, and coaching to support pacing and sustainability. The goal isn't to push toward recovery. It's to gently create the conditions where recovery becomes more possible, over time.

Sessions here are paced carefully and built entirely around your current capacity — not an average, not a target, just where you actually are today. Some weeks that will look different from others, and that's okay. The plan adjusts. There's no pressure, no expectation that you'll keep pace with anything other than what your system is ready for.

Sessions are available in person in Saskatoon, where we can do hands-on assessment alongside the nervous system work. Virtual sessions are also available for those who aren't able to travel or who find in-person visits too taxing. Start with the free 15-minute consult — a low-demand, no-pressure conversation to see whether this is the right fit.
