Yes peeps

This originally started as a fuel request to help me keep going on this clean momentum, yes my bank bal was very low (the joys of takingnit easy and work not being present as much this year) but I have now flipped it into a deeper cause that I have been procrastinating on for a while. Some of you may remember me talking about doin a go fund me for my birthday to raise funds to go on a detox, health n fitness retreat. My anxiety and pride kept holding me back.

I did start saving for this before I had a few bags saved and then life started lifeing, my cooker broke, my sofa was fecked and my washing machine was on its last legs, so the savings went to replacing those... And then it was back to the drawing board that has been a blank drawing board

Here is a bit of a backstory I tried to keep it short as I could

Three years ago, I had an endoscopic sleeve.

The aftercare was awful. I was violently sick, throwing up blood, ignored for hours, discharged still unwell. Ended up in A&E the next day, where they finally realised I’d been on the wrong dose of anti-sickness meds. The damage was done.

By early 2023 I felt something “give” — like the sleeve stitch went. I pushed through, trying not to slide back into old eating habits, but the stress mashed up my mind and body.

It triggered ADHD/autism symptoms I’d always kept steady. Balance gone. Sound sensitivity through the roof. Confusion. Brain fog. Struggling with simple things — even maths, when numbers had been my comfort zone.

On top of that, my whole reproductive system went wild — no periods, then heavy ones, hot flushes, pain down my leg and back, couldn’t walk, stuck in bed for months. Living off meal preps and delivery apps because I couldn’t cook.

After loads of tests, we found the culprit:

Adenomyosis – the wicked sister of endometriosis.

No real cure. Options were coil, laser ablation, or hysterectomy (which would trigger menopause). None of them felt right. So I chose to find my own path to healing.

Meanwhile, the stress and pain set off everything else:

Arthritis in knee and foot, pain spikes that make me pass out, neurological symptoms, hearing disturbance, mobility issues. Walking triggers my womb pain, so even short distances can take me out for days. Cycling is the only thing that doesn’t destroy me.

Work and social life collapsed.

A simple grocery run can put me in bed.

Even 4-hour shifts would flatten me for days.

So now, I’m asking for help.

I need a chance to reset my body and mind — away from distractions, stress, and this toxic UK environment. A retreat will help me rebuild strength, support my womb health, stabilise my brain, improve my diet, and give me space to study and get back into accountancy.

I want to start 2026 from a stronger place — physically, mentally, spiritually and I ask for your help in this.

To do this right involves a reset a 3 day water fast and then straight to a health and fitness retreat in Phuket. It will be about 5-6 weeks in total. A month if training and nutritional advice and balanced meals everything is included so I can come back with a routine locked in. In total it is roughly around £6k flights and retreat.

Thank you in advance for any support you can give.

It means more than you know

Oh

I can also offer in return some group reiki healing (to the donors) which would be done distantly should anyone would like to receive some.✨️ ✨️
