Help support Ellie and Liv with their health.

Hey everyone, It’s taken time, consideration and a fair amount of challenges for us to be here and able to ask you guys for some help for mine and Ellie’s health.
We both share quite a similar story in our lives, from our traumas to our dreams, and we both desire to heal, feel nourished, energised and able to function in our day to day lives.
Ellie has struggled for years with chronic knee and body pain since she was 5 years old. With unknown diagnosis from countless doctors, she was desperately looking around in search of a reason for her pain. She was considering she has Elhers Danlos, a connective tissue disorder but after a trip to the doctor, they ignored any form of diagnosis and just offered to give her physical therapy. She tried the therapy but it didn’t make any difference at all and after a while and a battle with the unknown, she gave up assuming that the pain will stay…until I met her, by then, we opened a conversation about it and I felt deeply that she can be helped with her condition, so I took her a long train ride away to a Chinese doctor.
The Chinese doctor said her diet was a big contribution to her sickness, and prescribed her a new diet. Since then, she has felt significantly clearer minded and hopeful for the first time in years and she didn’t know what it was like to be free from pain. The doctor informed her that it was connected to issues with the lungs and kidneys which affect specific parts of the body. The new diet consists of suppliments, good quality food, and a course of acupuncture treatments to help the pain. We have since learnt about Chinese medicine, studying anatomy and healing practises, hoping we can keep the knowledge up and integrate new things.
The only thing is, we have started this process but have not found the funding, or ability to access a lot of finance to continue the process, creating more stress and pressure and more inflammation.
On the mental health side of things, Ellie has had a very difficult time. From early on in life being bullied and shamed etc she has quite deep social anxiety that has affected her ability to think clearly and process information well.
This on top of her joint problem has been quite a lot to carry over time, and I just wish that she can have a higher quality of life, leading to more creativity, joy and abundance in her world and THE world!
The only trouble now is that we have embarked on a healing journey with very little money… We both work low income jobs. (I am a musician, and I’m just starting to find a way for that to be accepted as an income orientated gift), and Ellie is a life model.
Our past is very similar in the way that we both can’t sustain a job that puts too much demands on our psyche. Pressure, time constraints and other demands just completely cripple our nervous systems. This is why we are both self employed and have met each other with such a deep understanding and empathy for this way of life.
We both share a huge drive to figure out how we can move forward, and be fit to live healthier, happier and in a more vibrant state.
Recently my health too has been suffering, I have been on and off with physical symptoms and consequently mental health outbreaks, which Ellie has been so kind to support me through.
The pain I have had seems to be cyclical in nature, and seemed to come up in the weeks before my period. After researching I thought it was PMDD and embarked on finding the right supplements and minerals to help. It is new to me to have very intense episodes in recent years and i think perhaps a lot of it is from the past 3/4 years involving a lot of trauma in my life that really hurt my heart. As my mental health went low, I have been introduced to suicidal ideation and hurtful places that I really didn’t know i would be in. Mental distortions and confusion, lethargy and low energy levels have been my recent catalyst for a call out for help.
I know this is quite an intense message but personally, I am quite amazed by how supportive, conscious and aware we have both been on this journey together to help each other through these challenging times. We have both experienced some beautiful, powerful, light hearted times in life, and we know we can have more! X
We both are gluten allergic and dairy too, so we make sure daily that we avoid things that harm our bodies.
Things that would REALLY help and support us:
Support for:
- Ellie’s acupuncture sessions with the Chinese doctor and train fare.
- Higher quality food so we can eat well and know we are putting good healthy food in our bodies during this healing time.
— Supplement maintenance, so we don’t get to the end of the month unable to afford them.
And some form of therapy for me, to process the trauma coming up.
And any possible further remedies that could help us heal. I have heard of EMDR for trauma healing. We just want to find what works. We really really appreciate any donation to help us heal at the moment, and will reciprocate with gratitude ten fold. Huge love, Liv and Ellie.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH. xxxxxxx
