Emma trained as a teacher.
She loved here work but she began to feel unwell.
She suffered from headaches, confusion, racing of the heart and anxiety.
She also felt very low in
energy.
So low that it literally stopped her in her tracks.
She could no longer do the job she loved.
Even being in a room with a television on or using a hands-free phone was really affecting her brain
and her clarity.
Very quickly her symptoms became severe and she was literally fainting in all kinds of situations.
She decided the only thing to do was, “remove myself from this situation and live quite simply for a while”.
She started practicing yoga and she learnt massage and reflexology.
This helped her to come back to a level where she was functioning reasonably well.
But she was still unable to work.
One day a friend recommended that she try naturopathy.
She attended a session not far from her home in South Wales and came away truly inspired.
‘I was lucky enough to have been recommended Barbara Wren, a leading naturopath… she set me on the path of getting well and
inspired me so much that I decided to train with her and learn her methods.’
Emma made changes in many areas of her life.
She stopped eating animal products.
She switched to eating organic produce
and in the process she corrected lifelong mineral and vitamin deficiencies.
After just 6 months she was fully functioning again.
She had a new lease of life and was considering different career choices.
She decided to train with Barbara Wren and learn her methods, Emma then went on to found the College of Naturopathic Nutrition in Dublin.
But she found herself flying a lot back and forth, between Ireland where her college was based and her home in South Wales.
She started to
feel unwell again.
At the time she was also using her cell phone quite heavily.
Initially she thought it was her old symptoms kicking in again but, putting two and two together, she realized that this was more linked to electromagnetic field (EMF) overload than anything else.
So she started working on herself again, focusing on two areas of the body, the adrenals and the thyroid.
Since 2010, Emma is healthy and symptom free.
She works to help others that are suffering similar
symptoms.
Which is how she met her (now) husband Steve Phillips.
‘When I met Steve he was seriously depleted and affected with EHS syndrome.’
With Steve, it started when he was living in London.
He first noticed it when he was using the sat-nav in his car.
He would experience throbbing in his head.
‘It was like a magnetic field going on inside my head’.
When he switched the sat-nav off the feeling went away.
This left him perplexed but he carried on.
Unfortunately his health deteriorated.
He consulted various doctors but they all drew a blank.
Eventually he had to leave London and take some rest at his mum’s house in South Wales.
The rest did him good, he healed and really quite forgot about it.
Years later, Steve joined the Hare Krishna temple as a monk.
He lived there for a couple of years, ‘it was glorious. It was amazing.’
However the temple was situated next to a cell phone tower.
The very early starts and late services started to take their toll.
A lot of the work he did was in city centers, outside often, in high streets where there is WiFi galore and lots of cell towers.
He became so sensitive he
could tell the difference between frequencies.
Friends thought he was, ‘losing the plot’.
To convince them he’d ask his friends to switch on cell phones on/or WiFi and/or their Bluetooth on.
Then he
would tell them what they’d switched.
One day, a friend of his at the temple said, ‘you need to go and see Emma.’
He took her advice – within three months he started to feel better.
Within two
years he was fully recovered.
Currently, they see at least 1 person a week with EHS and most of them successfully recover.
