Event Description: The endless pain and other symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia can turn your entire life upside down. If you’re sick and tired of spending your money on doctor visits only to be told that you have to learn to live your life around your fibro, then this is the workshop for you! Join us at this information-packed 3 hour workshop where you’ll learn five simple, yet powerful steps to K.O. Your Fibro once and for all! In this FREE workshop, you will discover how to: -Start sleeping naturally and deeply, even if you haven’t had a wink of sleep without heavy medication in years. -Master the most important inner shift that will get your health back on track. -Set yourself up for success by learning how to create both internal and external support systems. -Avoid spending thousands of dollars on treatments that only provide temporary relief and leave you feeling hopeless and helpless. -Put an end to the isolation that an “invisible illness” like fibromyalgia causes. Your Workshop Leader: Leora Katz is a certified energy coach, writer and MSW, who was personally mentored and trained by the most sought after Energy Coach in the transformational industry, David Morelli, who created the revolutionary Enwaken Coaching System. At the age of 26, Leora was diagnosed with an extremely severe case of Fibromyalgia. She became extremely depressed after hearing repeatedly that she would never live an independent, healthy and pain free life and began planning her suicide. Fortunately, she began studying and applying various alternative healing modalities and she was able to heal her own body and remove 98% of her fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms. Leora made a commitment that once she healed her own body, she would create comprehensive holistic programs and workshops to bring the best techniques to the estimated 5 million Americans needlessly living with this “incurable” illness. Rather than promoting the idea that fibromyalgia needs to be managed, her goal is to help people eradicate this illness and put an end to fibromyalgia suffering.
