No. While Beyond Survival is rooted in my own experience with ME/CFS and Long Covid, the tools — pacing, baseline awareness, nervous system regulation — apply to anyone living with a chronic energy-limiting illness. It is also written to be accessible for medical professionals, therapists and caregivers who want to understand what their patients or loved ones are going through.

It is a digital PDF e-book that you can read on any device — phone, tablet, e-reader, or computer. After purchase you receive an instant download link by email.

Absolutely. Many of my readers are partners, parents, friends or therapists of people with ME/CFS or Long Covid. The book gives you a window into the daily reality of energy-limiting illness — and concrete, gentle ways to support without overwhelming.
