Gemma became ill with ME/CFS in 2014 while planning her wedding, after a number of years of pushing herself. With the traditional medical route offering no help she started researching other avenues and came across The Optimum Health Clinic. Gemma was immediately struck by how much sense the clinic’s approach made and could see how it applied to her. Whilst on her recovery journey she retrained as a psychology practitioner having fallen in love with the clinics approach, with the vision of joining the OHC psychology team from day one. Starting as OHC’s fundraising manager supporting their research, she is now passionate about helping others get their lives back and supporting their journey to recovery.
