Welcome!

I'm Daniella Saunders, and I am a holistic health coach  and philosopher who supports people with stress-related symptoms, chronic fatigue conditions or ongoing illness. My specialist interest is in the mind-body connection, and how emotional health impacts chronic illness. I am particularly interested in how adversity can facilitate personal and spiritual transformation.

I developed my interest in chronic illness following my own journey of recovery from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.  Despite my experience working within healthcare, I found that traditional biomedical methods did little to improve my symptoms and overall health.  My successful recovery to health involved re-evaluating many of the assumptions and beliefs that I had previously taken for granted. I also had to take a holistic approach to my own health. This involved exploring the physiological, psychological, emotional, cultural, and social aspects which impact on chronic illness; the often hidden, or unacknowledged, aspects of stress and ill health. Whilst at the time, this was overwhelmingly difficult, it was a process of self-empowerment, personal transformation and spiritual awakening, which left me feeling happier and healthier than before the onset of my illness.  Now I provide practical support for people going through similar challenges, so that they can also move beyond chronic conditions and live a healthier, happier life.

As a person who has high levels of intuition, I am also interested in the link between spiritual sensitivity and chronic health conditions.  There is a notably higher incidence of allergies, inflammatory disorders, autoimmunity, anxiety, depression and fatigue in spiritually sensitive and intuitive people.  Since I have academic qualifications in the areas of health, philosophy and spirituality, I feel that I can best support people who have a soul-centred approach to life:  healers, therapists, counsellors, carers, anyone who is thoughtful, intuitive and sensitive to the needs of others.

So, whether you are experiencing chronic stress, fatigue or illness, struggling with spiritual sensitivity, or experiencing personal challenges and need some support,  then please contact me to find out more about how I may be able to help you.
