My Story
Hi, I'm Jodie Goss and I know what it’s like to feel stuck and overwhelmed in the pursuit of getting your health back on track.
I grew up in London and had a successful career as an entertainment reporter. In early 2006, I came down with shingles. Whilst the rash subsided after a week, the flu-like symptoms continued. Blood tests said I had glandular fever (mono).
This was terrible timing as I’d just accepted my dream job at the biggest radio station in the country. I spent 6 months pushing through the symptoms to embark on this incredible career opportunity, but eventually had to take an extended period off. Every single day felt like I was walking through mud. I had terrible brain fog, pains in my neck, back and legs, and I was overwhelmed by fatigue.
After getting tested for every illness under the sun, I was eventually told I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The doctor said it could last for months or even years and that there was no cure or treatment. I was devastated and at a complete loss.
So with the support of my husband and family, I spent the next 3 years working when I could, resting when I could, and exploring both traditional and alternative medicine. Nothing seemed to make a lasting impact, but I wasn’t willing to accept that ‘I would need to learn to live with it’ as one specialist told me.
Then one day, I read a newspaper article about someone who had fully recovered from CFS after taking the Lightning Process. I was initially skeptical that anything ‘mind-body’ related would help as my symptoms were physical plus I had already tried therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, meditation and mindfulness practices without success.

But with further research, I realized the LP was something quite different and unique – so I took a leap of faith and booked myself onto a course in January 2009.
Those 3 days changed my life forever. I finally understood why I hadn’t been able to get any lasting change up until this point and how I could, from now on, influence my own health. I felt a real shift by the end of the third day, was back at the gym after 3 weeks and working full time again after 6 weeks. Since doing the course I have run the London Marathon; got married; had and am raising 2 rambunctious and gorgeous children, moved continents to start a new life in Los Angeles and retrained in an entirely new professional discipline. After reclaiming my life and health in 2009, my interest in neuroscience grew to the point where I decided to become a Lightning Process practitioner. I had the privilege of being trained by the founder of the LP, Phil Parker and am now honored to help others who are stuck in their lives by teaching how to take an active role in their own recovery using this revolutionary and science-based approach. |
