What Do We Do?
Chrysalis Effect Health
Integrating Personalised Healthcare with Cutting Edge Technology
Who are we?
Our sister organisation ‘The Chrysalis Effect’ was founded to transform the recovery outcomes for people struggling with ME, Chronic fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia. There are many complex and life altering illnesses, which are often viewed as mysterious and difficult to treat Historically, these fatigue related illnesses fell under that category of misunderstood illnesses and threw up many challenges for healthcare professionals. People were often too exhausted to travel to get help. These illnesses proved to be a catalyst for much needed change. They were 21st century illnesses and required a 21st century approach.
We knew recovery was possible, so wanted to shift the focus away from symptoms and focused fully on what it took to recover which in itself was a paradigm shift for those illnesses. But……
How could we make expertise and 24/7 support available immediately no matter where a person lived? The answer was simple. We invested in the technology to remove the post code lottery from health care provision. ‘We took healthcare to the patient -the mountain to mohamed’
What emerged was a New Model of Healthcare.
The internet has forever changed our approach to health.
We want to know stuff Now!
Bringing specific expert knowledge, coaching, mentoring supported by inspirational role models who have recovered from your specific health issue instantly via their PC or phone was exactly what was needed.
It was exciting!
We could utilise experts to teach them what caused their symptoms, how to address underlying causes and get technology to deliver it. Cutting edge information, inspiration and personalised specialist support was available at the touch of a screen with 24/7 access. People went from bedbound to regaining their health. It worked.
What emerged was ‘The perfect merging of allopathic medicine, complementary approach underpinned by the power of wellbeing coaching. All delivered through the miracles of streamlined technology.’ Elaine Wilkins Founder
Why Chrysalis Effect Health?
While we know excellent specialist services exist, they are often costly and not available in every surgery or hospital. This fragmented distribution of services across the UK creates a postcode lottery for service users with long waiting times for services. People and their families suffer.
It was both an NHS head of Transformation and leader in Virginhealthcare who pointed out the desperate need for a similar model to support the treatment of patients with illness that dramatically impacts their lives and those closest to them.
We took on that challenge and here we are. Creating recovery focused support pathways for Medically unexplained symptoms and pain including:
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Eating disorders
-
Addiction
